The perfection of Yoga

by his Divine Grace, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Good old Prabhupada. I have his version of the Bhagavad Gita.

A lot of Highlander fanfic. Interspersed with other fanfic. Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

A friend lent me the book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. I haven't had time to start it, yet.

The Shawnees and the War for America by Colin G. Calloway. I've already learned a few things. For example, I didn't know that what we call the French and Indian War in the US was essentially the North American theater of the Seven Years' War in Europe.

Negotiations by Gilles Deleuze

I am now reading the kindle English edition of Virus: The Day of Resurrection

Whew... it's a legend. And the movie made from it was just something else.

Desert Islands and Other Texts by Gilles Deleuze

Finished Moby Dick - now on to 300 pages of context, as it is the Norton Critical Edition.

Hey, just watched In The Heart Of The Sea which is allegedly the story that Melville based Moby Dick on. It wasn't bad. Not amazing, but not too bad.

Anyway, I'm reading Glue by Irvine Welsh.

Two Regimes of Madness: Texts and Interviews 1975--1995 by Gilles Deleuze

a stack of Graphic Novels I got from the Hasting's closing.

Tefazipipo... that's someone I don't see around a lot!

(oops, for the time-delay of one month...)

Read "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich." (Solzhenitsyn)

Currently reading:
"The Whole Christ: Legalism, Antinomianism, and Gospel Assurance-- Why the Marrow Controversy Still Matters," which is amazing and
"Crucial Questions about Hell" by Ajith Fernando.

Reading is goin' slowly around here for me.

Well, I hadn't been by in a while. Then the Watch sent me a notice that there'd been new messages in a thread I was following...

Oooh, which sub-forum?
(*is interested in what topics people are really invested in.*)

I love the ability to watch a thread...
would have saved me from times of feeling silly because I'd started a topic I cared about and then somebody wrote a thoughtful response 4 months later...
but I didn't notice it until much later still.

I don't know! It may even have been this! And I started a thread about the Highlander 30th Anniversary Convention, to which I am going and it's December 3rd and 4th. Come, come!

I recently read a Gay Fantasy Romance titled The God Eaters, by Jesse Hajicek. While I have certain issues with it involving the situation for female characters, it is well-written, an engaging story and I really felt for the heroes and loved their character development. Plus there's a scene late in the book where someone turns a train into a projectile weapon. It's great.

Can't have been this thread, otherwise you would have had far more messages.

I'm reading The People Of The Sky by Walton Golightly... turns out it's actually book 3 of a trilogy though, although they don't strictly follow on from each other.

Semi-historical fiction set in the Zulu Empire in the 1820's. Could be interesting, but sadly not that well written so far.

Once I finish my Gap re-read (almost there) I'm going to read Cloudstreet by Tim Winton. I picked it up at a school fair for $1 and have heard it's very good.

Has anyone read it?

Never heard of it.
