OT: What Are You Reading?

I’m on page 23 because of all of the capitalization: sometimes entier phrases, sometimes the first letter of every word in a phrase, sometimes the nouns in a phrase (looks like the author was attempting to inconsistantly indicate bold type and italics;) innumerable commas and insidiuos punctuation marks placed outside of parenthesis. e.g.; I came accross 357 incidents of “);” not to mention the commas and periods!

sounds like a mess. When I hear of people editing jobs like that I wonder if it’s all nonesense designed with the hopes that the editor will accidentily become creative and write a good story (the one he thinks he’s editing.).

@n9inchnails… I love The Sign of Four… Good Choice!

I just started “Love In The Ruins” by Percy Walker

Chuck palahniuk. Invisible monsters

Dreamtime & Inner space

Finally got hold of a proper Asterix collection, so Asterix the Gaul

Perdurabo by Richard Kaczynski, by far the most comprehensive biography of Aleister Crowley.

willc I’ve never read it but best chance it’s not accurate. Just based on statistics. Like I said never read it, 90% chance more myth then anything.

Nah bob this is the real deal. If you don’t know anything about AC this will bore you to tears. No sensationalism, just the facts, like good old Jack Webb would say.

Good to hear. The myth is great and all but it gets tiresome especialy when you consider he was an interesting fellow on many fronts.

Yeah bob some things written about Crowley are absolutely crazy but people take it for fact. Even with all the myth taken away he led an interesting life and rubbed elbows lots of neat folks and traveled to some cool spots.

Sri Isopanisad

Maha Yoga by “Who”, a disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi.

The Brewers Handbook… Honing up my brewing skills. With practice of course!!!

Willc including his oss service too. Lots of people have trouble believing his conection with the guy who wrote James Bond.

@bob I am not too sure if he served with official capacity in the OSS but I do believe he was a staunch patriot and his time spent in the US during WW1, writing for that German Nationalist paper, were all done with Queen and country in mind. A friend lent me Secret Agent 666 and I will be reading that next. As for knowing Ian Fleming I have no idea about that but it is certainly possible that they met or knew each other and most certainly knew of each other.

Shah of Shah’s, All the Shah’s Men, and an Evidence Case Law book.

yeah he did and it was flemings idea.

I just started reading “A Short History of the Middle East” by George E. Kirk When i’m bored a grab what ever volume of STE that i’m on and read some of that.
