I haven't even finished Insomnia yet, but I still went and accidentally bought a new book to read. The book is called The Light Between Us by Laura Lynne Jackson. It has really helped me to calm down about my fear of death.

Last I've finished reading was the Fiendship is Magic compilation. I've moved to the first Pennyroyal Academy afterwards. I'm currently at chapter 7, but I've been stuck since I've been playing videogames and stuff

I don't read much, but due to my recent love of the Sherlock Holmes' movies with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude law, I started reading A Study in Scarlet about a week ago. I love it so far.

I've been rereading a lot of old favorites lately. Yesterday I finished up "King David's Spaceship". It's a very exciting tale of intrigue war, and space travel from the point of view of a planet that had no knowledge of space travel until the imperial star ships showed up. Now I'm reading "A Barnstormer in Oz: A Rationalization and Extrapolation of the Split-Level Continuum" (That's the official full title) (1982) by Philip José Farmer. This is one of my all time favorite books. The premise is that the land of Oz is actually a parallel world to Earth. Dorothy's son Hank accidentally flies through a gap with his world war one plane and ends up in Oz.

Yes, Hank is...Dorothy's son!

I'm currently re-reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, my favourite childhood book. Afterwards I'll probably read the sequel Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.

Hoping to finish Nexus by Ramez Naam by the time I go back to uni. Very solid cyberpunk thriller.

 

Always finding time to continue reading the complete works of Lovecraft, though.

I'm reading though "The war Illustrated" volumes II and III right now.  It is a collection of news magazines by the same name put into a hard cover book.  Volumes II and III cover all of 1940 from the British perspective.  It is really cool to see what people thought at the time since the papers came out every week so there are all kinds of crazy speculations on what could happen later in the war.  One article was talking about the possibility of Russia invading India or Germany invading Switzerland.

Manuals, manuals, and more manuals. :crackle: 


"I could have been happy above if I'd never donned the copper carapace and dipped my head beneath the waves to hear the muddled man-made sounds. Distorted and dreamlike droning. The whir and thrashing of a distant propeller, the tumultuous thundering thud of fogbound freighters. Mud underfoot, no sights, except the grasp of a diver's trained hand, dreaming of distant lands knowing all the while this is what I love, not the blue skies and wondering faces above. Canvas, rubber, brass, copper, and glass. Leather and lead, mud and sweat, heaving around in dark, damp depths seldom seen by most yet talked about by all. As if a sunny, happy place where mermaids and seahorses play and chests of gold are lain bare, untarnished by salt and time for all to grasp who are bold enough to go below..." -"Deep Sea Diver", Steven L. Waterman

Currently looking to start reading Germany, Memories of a Nation for history and get that wrapped up early.

After that I've got both Armageddon and Helsreach books to read.

The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. With just a few chapters left I must say, I'm a little disappointed. It is considered to be the first steampunk book, but it's really nothing special. It has some interesting views on the alternative history though.
