A fave of mine is Stanislaw Lem - Chaos, Solaris, His Master's Voice... damn near anything he writes is gold. Highly recommended.

I've been getting a little interested in Nietzsche's work. I almost picked up the portable Nietzsche a few weeks ago. Tell me something about the guy that would push me over the edge and purchase the book!

I really enjoy CIA/military/spy novels for some reason...
I'm currently hooked on Clive Cussler's Books, specifically "The Oregon Files" Books. I'm also enjoying books by Brad Thor. I've gone through at least 6 books in the last 2 weeks...

Cool signature Leothwyn. Old world music styling. I see that some measures have been indicated, of course they don't seem to make sense with the common time indicator. What is the piece from?

I see those on the bookshelves every time I walk into a Barns & Noble or Borders. I try to avoid the political commentary books. Even if it's from an author I agree with. The problem with those books in my opinion is that you only hear one side of the argument. The author takes one stance and pushes for it from his viewpoint. Especially these days.

I do read other stuff too. I just figured that would be most of what people see and have read. The Lucifer Principle, by Howard Bloom is an interesting read. More of a sociology book, but still good. I'm also reading The Secret History of the World. Very interesting concepts there.

Thanks. It's a song from the 1600s (or earlier) called The Three Ravens... (It's about three ravens sitting in a tree wondering what to have for breakfast, wanting to eat the slain knight in a field near them, complaining that they can't because his hawks circle over his body and his hounds lie at his feet guarding him...)
I love early music (especially medieval and renaissance), so some of my non-fiction reading relates to that - music history and theory. (I do spend a fair amount of time sight-reading [mainly renaissance sheet music]... but, I guess that's a different kind of reading).
What's your sig.?
