Nice. I've been considering giving the series a re-read.

For some reason, I posted here five years ago. I'm now reading a different book, in dribs and drabs to be sure, but nonetheless:

Kim, by Kipling.
That it Could be What it Is, Is What it Is

Stop making shit up, though. Links, or it's a God-damn lie and you know it.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Just finished The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.

Oh, wow. I’m really glad my friend insisted I read this book. This was a profoundly beautiful read, with great characters and an ending that made me cry a bit (thanks, Neil Gaiman).

Going back to 1988, Volume 1 of The Fleet, a shared universe SF series.
CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.

I don't know if I could put myself through that. I'm re-reading the first seven books before I read the last seven for the first time (they weren't published when I first started reading the series and I never picked it back up 'til two years ago). It's such an investment. Not that I'm complaining, I love the Wheel of Time.

I need to embrace the audio book. I'm still old fashioned.

The Street Lawyer (John Grisham)

I do not understand why this novel has not adapted to the cinema.
