I have to say, Wosbald, that though I doubt I could follow your intellectual philosophic and historical pursuits, I certainly admire them!

Yeah, I swear the older I get, the lazier a reader I am.

Though I'm sure you shortchange yourself, that's a right nice thing to say. Thanx.

Writing and Difference by Jacques Derrida

An anthology of the complete Oom Schalk Lourens Stories of Herman Charles Bosman.

Written in the 30's, they're very subtly satirical stories.

I finished Deathly Hallows and I am seriously sad it's over. I miss the series. I will reread it at some point, but for now I am wading through A Shortcut Through Time, a sort of idiot's guide to quantum theory and quantum computing. I'm really enjoying it. As I get older, I enjoy and appreciate logic. Maybe all the Bible reading over the years has taught me that words mean something. I've never been Science-y, but I am more interested now than when I was young and choosing an educational and career path. Ironically, logic breaks down in quantum theory (Einstein struggled to accept it, but did ultimately). Like religion, you have to accept it on faith.

The Logic of Expression: Quality, Quantity and Intensity in Spinoza, Hegel and Deleuze by Simon Duffy

I just finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King for the 2nd time. I really love that book.

I haven't read any free Kindle books for a while, many are garbage but I've found some good ones. The Life I Left Behind by L. Thornhill Crane (iirc) was particularly good. I have one called Overshadowed by Tabitha Chirrick. I might give that a try.

Reading one of Bill Bryson's books on etymology (The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way) inspired me to reread The Canterbury Tales.

Neat. I haven't read The Canterbury Tales. I think it's one of those that one sorta should...

I have been reading "The Princess and the Goblin," by George MacDonald.
So pleasant.

I do tend to like his books.
