What BOOK!?!? Aye, if only 'twer one book, alone... I don't read any more non-fiction, I'm at a years-long stage in my life where the "real" world holds no light or joy, only boredom and mundaneity. It's a combination of my Pisces-Dragon-Shadow astrology-being, I fear that I live in a constant state of unreality. I'm reading The Dragonbone Chair, by Tad Williams, the first book of "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn". It's pretty good, although it's difficult for me to read new books. I'm also reading "American Psycho", and a book called "Xenogenesis", by Octavia Butler. Mostly I read Science Fiction or Fantasy, or books that combine the two. I read the LOTR when I was 5, and find it far too childish to be of any interest these days. My favorites lean toward the adult and the insane, "The Riftwar Saga" by Raymond E. Feist, and "The Gap Cycle", by Stephen R. Donaldson... Can't forget the Shannara books, by Terry Brooks, which are also devastating and wonderful! I am not a christian, but the most definitive work of spirituality and Power I've read is hands down "The Wheel of Time", by Robert Jordan. If you enjoy reading and haven't read it, save it for a time in your life when you need faith and a heavy dose of Spirit. It will rock your world to it's core, upturning everything you thought you beieved in. It has been the joy of my life, well worth waiting all these years for... It is vast, to make the christian book seem a pamphlet, and wonderful in imagery and Power! All glory to the Dragon Reborn, may the Light save us from him...
