Liber Null and Psychonaut by Peter J. Carroll it's pretty concise and to the point so far.

The Qu'ran. I'm an aetheist, but want to find out what all the fuss is about re: 9/11 and the London bombings. I like to think that I can't really criticise what I don't understand.

Nothing right now, all m'books are packed away. :(

But come October my favourite series is coming to an end (in a triology) so September will be me re-reading the first two books, and watching Chapters.ca for updates ;)

The author is Terry McGarry and the first two books are:

Illumination and Binder's Road (in that order).

If I can recommend an AWESOME (in my opinion) book it's: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.

I adore that book and have read it a billion and one times.

So I was browsing the Borders Metaphysics section and I came across Konstantinos new book! It wasn't due till Sept. 31! I'm so excited! It's called the Nocturnicon. For those who have never heard of Konstantinos, he's probably the greatest author ever (well maybe not, but in my eyes he is)! He bases his findings on what really works. I have all his books. Even if you're not a believer it's absolutely worth a read. My personal favorite is Summoning Spirits.

The new OECD report on the quality/cost of secondary schools in first-world countries. Twenty years ago, the US ranked first in quality. We are now 11th....and falling.

Not pleasant reading. The average cost to "educate" someone in a US public high school is $11,000 per year. In many cases, the results are worth considerably less.

I'm currently reading Dune, a sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert.

I also just finished The Stand by Steven King.

Anyone else a King fan? I've read nearly every book of his in the library... :D

I read the full dune series...well before they came out with the new ones and I have the uncut version of the stand, but not a big king fan.

BTW if you read god emperor, have a pot of coffee ready.

Who, me? Yes I did. I was trying to make a funny.

Actually, my latest book was the Lord of the Rings series. I am a LotR nut and I think the books are way better.
