The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

I'm enjoying it so far, although her Egoist message is hard to agree with given how big of an asshole Howard Roark is. My friend never ceases to point out how much she hates Rand and her books.

This was an excellent book.

Now reading On Emotional Intelligence by the same publisher.

I need to continue the Father Brown series. I got a huge book of the stories for Christmas and I’ve barely chipped through the collection. Incredible nonetheless.

I just finished an anthology of Ray Bradbury short stories.

Philjia wrote:The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. Chandler's distinctive style of descriptive writing is often imitated, but rarely equalled. The ultra cool, mostly amoral detective Philip Marlowe is a fantastic creation.

"Neither of the two people in the room paid any attention to the way I came in, although only one of them was dead."

Dashiell Hammett is well worth reading if you like the genre, which I do.

New book: Grant. by Ron chernow.

Crashed by Adam Tooze. Covers a lot of ground and has been an excellent book so far.

Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy.

Into Thin Air, another of his books, is a great read. I should reread it...

I finished the Iliad by Homer a few days ago. The Finnish translation is brilliant. It maintains the original dactylic hexameter, doesn't sacrifice understandability at all, and stays true to the original work.
Started Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre after I finished the Iliad. Enjoying it so far!

What is the What, a somewhat fictionalized account of the life of one of the Somali Lost Boys. Could have used a good editor; as it happens the author was also the publisher so.
