I just picked up a copy of "The Complete Sherlock Holmes" that I've been reading for the past couple of days.

I wouldn't really call it reading, but I also am halfway through The Complete Casebook: Spy Vs Spy collection and am a third of the way through the third book in The Complete Calvin And Hobbes

"Forbidden History (Prehistoric Technologies, Extraterrestrial Intervention, and Suppressed Origins of Civilization)"
edited by J. Douglas Kenyon

An interesting collection of essays, presenting much 'food for thought', and like any good non-fiction (especially those outside the orthodox mainstream) sends you off seeking additional materials for validation, contradiction, follow-up, etc.

Then again, I enjoy anything that sparks thinking in a new direction, it is a food for creativity.

I've been re-reading "Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk.

Give me superficiality.
Give me emptiness.
Give me loss.
Give me satire.

Flash.

Impressions: Meh. Same old inspirational "life lessons" book I have to read every year for school... Seriously, who picks these?!


You have to read such things every year? Man, I seriously pity you.

Currently reading Collier's "The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It". This is not the best book I've read on this topic because it strikes a midway between the tiring "Just give them money" and "Money won't help at all" approaches, but because the author's reasoning is also supported by arguments and experience collected over 30 years in this field only to package it into this 200+ pages slip of a book. Highly recommended by the New York Times, Economist, and myself. The author is the Director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies at Oxford University, formerly World Bank.

And I have yet to finish Harry Potter's last book and some other half-read but too lazy to finish ones.

I'll need something a little more fun after.


You may not be in the mood for more, but just in case, Shake Hands with the Devil, written by the commanding general Dallaire, is one book I couldn't read before bed.
