I am so lost in what I am reading at the moment: World War Z, The Philosophical Breakfast Club, A Monster Calls, The Bible.

These books are pumping ideas in to my thinking. In World War Z the are these "RKR". It is something that Robert Macnamara first brought to my attention with the Vietnam War or American War, depending where you live. "RKR" is resource to kill ratio,  what do you get for what you spend.

The Philosophical Breakfast Club, is just so good, in asking what will you leave behind, not just as a legacy but in you friendships. Some of them don't play well with others.

A Monster Calls is such a tale of heartbreak so far anyway, not convinced it will have a uplifting ending but I will finish it. The effort so far is worth it, I do like the illustrations, more books should have them. The striking black and white are a delight, the monster is a ferocious, repelling, compelling thing. that you may wish to actually pass time with.

A grand thing about my dyslexia, good spacial awareness, the shape and  fit of things is quite intuitive and usually right. I like my dyslexia a whole heap. If you don't have it find a dyslexic and see if it rubs off. Have a great day because someone has to.

So I have started "The Philosophical Breakfast Club"and now know where the first use of the word scientist was! Just so you know it was between William Whenhall and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor in  debate, a moment that would be fun to see. I am enjoying it very much, thanks to my delightful wife for a great gift. Also today the very same delight wife, found part four of "Exile on the Planet of the Apes" both covers, as I am kind of geeky that way about Marc Laming's work, he did the insides,and they are great. I have some of his original art work hanging on my walls. He is so good I pay my own money for it!!

Also found a great bearded skull design around ZZ Top. Music I like a lot. Still reading Winston Churchill's "The Gathering Storm" Volume 1 of his six volume history of World War Two, There is so much I did not know about my own country and the setting and build up to that war. I found my bargain of the day a first edition of "Sole Survivor" by Dean Koontz in an Op Shop, a charity shop for those outside Australia.  Also I have included a picture of my most read book, The Bible this one is the English Standard Version. Which I like a lot, In a few moments I will go to bed and read "Embassytown" China Meiville I am get gently sucked in to another world, which is  I think the  best way for a world to creep up on you. Where I wonder is you favourite place to read to be transported away some where else? Dyslexia is a great thing, I like it. Enjoy your day.
