    Conversation with God series by Neale Donnald Walsh

    They are very mind opening books. I used to be a die-hard Christian, but after reading these books I realized how foolish most organized religions are.(I apologize to anyone if that came across offensive) Saying that, the title can be misleading but you can only understand it if you read them. This book definitely changed my life forever.

    I was flipping through The Great Hunt the other day, book two in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Not my favorite book, but I'm going through them all in order once again. The best one in that series is The Shadow Rising.

    I just began re-reading the Shannara series by Terry Brooks, currently on First King of Shannara, the prequel. I'm also reading The Republic (by Plato if you didn't know), which I was considering reading after I finished First King, though I don't usually read more than one book at a time. It was actually a little strange . . . through some twist of fate, I was assigned a project at school that had "Plato and The Republic" as one of the choices for a topic, which I selected since I was going to read it soon anyways.

    I've been flipping through a bunch of books lately. I read through The Incredible Hulk: Abomination the other day, which still remains one of my favorite books. I was just tired of reading Wheel of Time, so I picked it up. Also, I took a gander at Sky of Swords, which is a very weird but masterfully pieced together bit of intrigue. I loved it.

    I borrowed a collection of stories by Friederich Nietzsche from my dad, but I've been too busy to start that. To anyone who's starting to read Nietzsche: Be very careful. This is part of Hitler's reasoning behind the entire Third Reich.
    The psychotic dress, the senseless feature terrifies every living creature. Predictability is wearing thin; groundbreaking practice for the preacher.

    Yes, but that is because he interpreted a phrase wrong. Where Nietzche refers to the ubermensch as being a "golden beast", he read Aryan, whereas sane people see it as a metaphor for strong, as in the lions mane.

    I bought some books at Powell's,(HUGE book store here in Portland) and so far I've read Fight Club, Jurassic Park, and Lone Wolf in the Shadowrun series. Currently, I'm reading Streets of Blood also in the Shadowrun series.

    Well, I'm stuck reading my freaking history book, which is actually not that bad, as it has all sorts of vicious propaganda headed Bush's way, or that's would I make of it! I envy you guys, I have to read the same shit till my exams...ARGH!
    Umm...Solitude--I thought Immortality was by Milan Kundera, Micheal Heim edited it or something, maybe I'm wrong, dunno. Vaguely remember!
