Knocked out D. H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Good book though a bit over focused on sex. Next up: Jane Eyre

I just finished reading the Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. Utterly fantastic book, but boy the ending left me bummed out. A great mystery novel, and a fascinating look at religion in the middle ages, but also kind of a tough recommendation. It is DENSE and full of long long passages of theology and arguments about schisms and politics in the 1300's Catholic church, and frankly can be a slog at times. Still, I'm very glad I read it

Knocked out my first book of the year in Polgara the Sorceress. Gosh this was almost too much for me to get through after having read so much from this series. Made it though. Thoughts here:

I finally got around to reading Jane Eyre. I liked it even more than I expected to. Great book. More thoughts here:

I knocked out yet another book in The Weekend that Changed the World. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned some stuff, too. Silmarillion is next!

Finished the Silmarillion. Pretty fun book. Glad I gave it another chance while I was briefly in the mood for it. Next up: Friday and The Book of Five Rings!

Knocked out Five Rings. It was good. More about sword fighting with a theme of strategy than about strategy specifically. No problem though. I did see Eiji Yoshikawa wrote a Cushingura book which I’ve added to my wish list. For now I’ll keep reading Friday and Mars though.

5. The Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto

Just finished my second reading of Friday. Can’t believe I read this as a child. I’m not terribly surprised but it’s probably the most adult book I’d read as a child. Anyway great book. If you love strong protagonists, strongly consider reading it. Especially if you are fond of sci-fi at all.
