    Putting Herr Hitler and Fiends on Hold...

    I finished The Valley of Creation by Edmond Hamilton a couple of nights ago, have started Up The Line, am dabbling in Thomas Merton (A Year With) and New York Noir. NY Noir is a 5 books-in-one compilation of short stories. Starting with Brooklyn Noir, each of the 5 boroughs of the city makes one book apiece and it was written over the period of a decade or so. A free sample in EPUB or MOBI is available here.

    Now on "The Screwtape Letters" by C. S. Lewis (of Chronicles of Narnia fame).

    Adapted recently into a play too.

    Putting Joe Torre on hold.

    Finished "Revelations" by Elaine Pagels and "Brooklyn Noir 2" (various authors) - highly recommend both.

    Presently listening to an audiobook of "The Problem of Pain" by C. S. Lewis. 2/3rds thru and excellent so far. To any who are of an open mind, may I suggest this to be read or listened to.

    Anthony Bourdain, "A Cook's Tour."

    After Tolstoy, I also read "Ham Radio's Technical Culture," by Krysten Haring and Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential," the latter of which I had to stop reading in bed because I laughed so hard that it disturbed my wife.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    That's pretty twisted and funny stuff. So now you'll have good responses for 'IzE as well?
