So finishing Spook Country then finishing existence, then on to the next will finish Churchill on the second world war this year, reading is a joy do it more and more. Dyslexia is a jot to me keep working at being a better one. If you have not read "the gift of dyslexia". Please do it will help you understand your dyslexic if you live with one or have it yourself. have a great rest of the day. have a good one.

Still loving the internal bleakness that inhabits Robert Neville, all the things which have become cliches in Zombie tales are here. All of them done better here than any of the films. Find this story, "I am legend" by Richard Matheson. Some of the old stories are the good ones. New is not aways better or even an improvement!! So read something old today, I am also reading Winstone Churchill  "The Gathering Storm" Volume 1 of Six on the Second World War. I knew so little about this when I thought I knew so much. Then the old story written in stone. Quite literally celtic crosses from tomb slabs very different to the ones that are standing. Such fun to think about, difference and how it comes to exists. Dyslexia is a jolly fine thing, I like it very much. Have a good day enjoy.

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.
