So I finished "Stone Father" by Orson Scott Card, I liked it, I do believe that i is as Mr. Scott Card said in the back of "The Lost Gate" He though t that it was some of his best writing. I do find my self wondering how I find more in this world. I will give it some thought. Also I do think it is very good work. I liked it, nice enjoyable world peopled by characters you want to succeed. I am a dyslexic and I like it. Hope yours is as much fun as mine. Enjoy the world it is worth it.

So I have just finished "The Lost Gate" by Orson Scott Card. It is good most enjoyable. but As someone who writes the funnest part is the afterward. Where he unpacks the process and origin of the story I have just read. It is so neat to understand that this world he has written about, was not a one hit and it was done job. It has taken years to put it together. In various forms and editions as he work to make a satisfying moment for himself. To tell a story that stands for itself and it's own internal reality. It does, once you get used to both worlds. Do wonder if there is a next in this series. I have tracked down a previous entry into this world "Stonefather" so I'll read that when it gets here.

In the meantime I shall begin reading "Eureka" by Peter Fitzsimons or Keith Windscuttle "The Fabrication of Aboriginal History: Volume 1". Failing that Ian Tregillis "Bitterseeds"

Oh so many books and so much time, I like my life,  I like my God, I like my family, I like my dyslexia, I hope you like your day do enjoy it, have a good one.

So have finished the book about Osama bin Laden being killed, "No Easy Day" by Mark Owen It was kind of gripping. I like his style he was open and had the right amount of secrecy. There are things to learn from the people who live and work in this community. Well worth a read. "Make it so" the interface design book is so cool. I have been away on break from work and I have watched some television (it is one of the things I do when on holiday) and the design of a get more hair on your head advert, it was as if they had read this book. or at least the opening two chapters on how to make you designs look kind of sciencey and futuristic. They did a great job of that, but I have enough hair on my head. So not sold on the product.

Do have to tell you I shall be reading more  G K Chesterton "Orthodoxy" is really really good. It pokes holes that whole "The Matrix" worldview, nice to read.  He does put together a totally superb sentence loaded with ideas. He doesn't hold back it is a joy read someone who lays into people nicely!!! I don't know who Mr McCabe is but G K, is not struck on him "I think that Mr. McCabe is a slave because he is not allowed to believe in fairies" To see where it fits in G K argument you need to find page 39 of "Orthodoxy" But it is a great sentence.

Also found two books Orson Scott Card "The Lost Gate" and my first J G Ballard book "Empire of the Sun"

And returning from being away the copy of "the out of bounds church?" by Steve Taylor was waiting in the letter box. As I write this "Streets of Fire: a rock and roll fable is playing" just love five dollar movies. Now I embrace my dyslexia, use yours and enjoy the world. Have a great day.
