short stack

So this a quick et of picture of my current desk reading "I wonder what it's like to be dyslexic" is a great way to discover what being a dyslexic is really like a most useful book indeed. Sam Barclay is it's maker.

Then the next is a gift for my office manager, I have always enjoyed Jim Collins work and this is a cheap grab in bookshop so sharing the knowledge and asking more of people,

"Meme Wars: The creative destruction of neoclassical economics"  Kalle Lasn and adjusters because sometimes you should read things you know very little about, and economics is one of those places for me, Don't know if it is good or bad just beginning it, Wouldn't even know if it is a good place to begin but you have to begin somewhere. and this is my place to begin.

Then top of the pile is a comic "Kings Watch" Don't know Jeff Parker, but Marc Laming is a dear and great friend, I support my friends but only buy there work if I like it a lot. I even have original pages hanging in my house, he makes people live on paper. Keep and eye out for his work it is worth seeing.  Oh great comics need two things great art and this comes out of great story and Jeff Parker does this well indeed, they are a great combination.

Enjoy your dyslexia because you can.

Still reading "The Strain" before bed, liking it a lot. This may be a step to far for some people but my toilet book is "Emperor Mollusc and the something or other?" by some bloke, by which you can gauge my level of interest, in it but it does pass the time!!

have a great day because you can      

bed time reading

I have begun "The Strain" it's opening pages chapters is a delight a pleasant sense of mystery. I could guess but i will not i wan't to revel in the moments as they happen. Neat levels of tension, just the right amount to set me of to sleep.

Also I am the only one who forgets how good a reading was after a number of years then you pick it up and the time between just vanishes, an old friend reveals heart felt moments. It is so like that when the post man dropped off  a package to day. in it was a copy of Stephen King "Cycle of the Werewolf". It also contains the art of Bernie Wrightson. The black and white illustrations for each month are utterly stunning. I so like both of there work to have both in a book is a fun thing.

The dyslexia is looking good today, fun to have and live with .

have great day because you can  

back to the blog

Sorry to have kept you waiting, but I have been reading and writing and thinking and enjoying the twisted view of the word that being dyslexia gives you. So I have fallen in love with Ray Bradbury particularly "Fahrenheit 451" It is such a delightful and scathing book. It holds a clear mirror to the values that are being displayed in our current culture. Th sway he thought and saw a elopement in "tech" ear buds for communication, immersive home television, coupled with losing of books. then to link that a shallowness in think linked into emotion. I think would make this a essential read today.

Also read the " Metallica" Biography volume 1. A seriously committed bunch of blokes to what they do, a fun little read about passion and desire.

"Guide to Urban Moonshine" is so cool must do it sometime, but not soon!

Chuck Hogan & Guillermo Del Toro "The Strain"  is resting beside the bed and will be my next bedtime reading.

And five commentaries of Proverbs as It was the church study through January.

 Have great day because you can. If you don't have dyslexia it is a cool way to see the world.

Joyland is good rather good

Joyland is rather good. A very fulfilling read, the talk of of an older man recalling his first break up, I have just got to the point in the story where his heart is open to the possibility of a future and love. It is unfolding in a tight grip, that to escape would do the writer Stephen King and this story and disservice. So I might just be falling in like with this one.

The other thing that is a fun is the swearing. The narrater never does but characters do, but the one who does swear you get this totally heartbreaking reveal to his pain and heartbreak. This a good book please read it. it is most enjoyable.

Echos of betrayal drags on.

Still being dyslexic is going well today, great way to be in the world.

the Land of Joy

I started Joyland by Stephen King, It is the very story telling device of "I" that I don't like at all. I am sucked right into the character and want to know the uncertainty of revealed memory over a forty year period. I am so drawn into the tale i want to know to experience, this one. So I will It has a an awesome line "In the years, since. I've discovered there's a lot to be said for boredom."

I like a quiet life it is a glorious thing.

Also my breakfast reading is Elizabeth Moon: Echoes of Betrayal, It is ok still reading hopping it will keep developing as it is got a feather stupid prince guy in a really crappy spot because of his selfishness fun to watch suffering and desire unravel.

Reading well listening to the "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County" It is delightful, and I like it a heap a whole heap.

Dyslexia is a blast I like mine, it is a most enjoyable way to see the world and live in it.

finished a fishing book

I have finished Extreme fishing by Robson Green, I liked it. When I read it I heave the words come out in a Gordie accent, He does fish and his behind the scenes stuff is so fun then heart rending the next. The ones that get away are the funniest, he is Robson is just a delight .

So on to the next one, think Shakespeare and sex next think.

Have a great day and enjoy your dyslexia

New Hobby

So anyway this new hobby could be expensive, turns out that i need a licence from the government. And then it is taxed at $71 a litre to produce, even  if it is only for me.

Also  you can only get a licence if you have some kind of experience in distilling. Government  is a little bit odd.

Dyslexia is neat, one day I'll make neat spirits,
