I dreamed last night that I was reading something (I don't remember what) and it occurred to me (in my dream) that I should come here and post about it.

It's odd what real-life things can enter one's dreams.

I go for dreaming while reading - try a few "learned papers" about the arcane corners of control theory to cure insomnia....

Today I received my copy of Stephen King's The Institute. I'm thinking about reading it. 😬

(Yes, I'm one of those people who has a stack of books waiting to be read. 🙁)

On the StephenKing.com website: The Institute

I've just about finished book 3 of Terry Goodkind's "The Sword of Truth" series and on my last trip into town I picked up the final book in Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" series (so I guess that that series will be my next to read).

Cheers.

Dave Barry has co-written a book about Jewish things. I'm reading that. (Dave is not Jewish, but his co-authors are.)

A Field Guide to the Jewish People: Who They Are, Where They Come From, What to Feed Them…and Much More. Maybe Too Much More

I've finished all 11 books in the Sword of Truth series it's time to get into all 14 books of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series seeing as I now finally have the last book, but I have also found out that Terry Goodkind has produced several more books that run off the Sword of Truth series so I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

Cheers.

Gokusen

Kumiko Yamaguchi, the granddaughter of a Yakuza boss, Kuroda of the Kuroda Ikka. Her parents died when she was at the age of seven, and her grandfather had no other descendants, so Kumiko is next in line to head the family business with the title of Ojou. However, her lifelong dream has been to become a teacher. While her grandfather approves of her choice, others in the family want her to become the next boss.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, again, for the umpteenth time, excellent read, and excellent tv series. Films? so-so ;-)

I had a paperback copy of that I was planning to re-read but someone peed on it. I suspect one of the cats. :-(

Started reading “Phule’s Company” again. Might read the other five books by Robert Aspin in the series also.

The Stars Like Dust by Isaac Asimov.

It was in paper form at my public library.
