Then again work and other matters have kept me really busy lately.It was indeed a most excellent book. It painted pictures in my mind with words the way great artwork does with paintings. As a matter of fact to me it seemed like a story told in paintings translated into words.I read that book and didn't get that impression at all.I really, really liked the Alienist. Then again I was a psychologist and a criminologist. So early Alienists interested me. The same author recently wrote a new Sherlock Holmes book which was also excellent to me.Because of being so tied up I haven't had much time for reading lately either. But I have been able to listen to unabridged an unabridged version of Rough Weather when traveling.As for other fiction I've been reading:Dead Beat. I've only ever really read Dresden by Butcher. Out of curiosity I'm gonna read a book called Princep's Fury by him which seems to be some sort of fantasy or alternate reality work. Non-Fiction:Called Out of Darkness, by Anne Rice. It is a sort of spiritual autobiography. It's interesting, if odd in some ways.At flight camp one evening, after setting up my tent I went outside under the full moon and stars and listened to part of the lecture series, Odyssey of the West IV. It is mostly by Shutt, one of my favorite professors. Only listened to one lecture though, by Thom Madden, also one of my favorites. No time for more.Now that I'm back home I'm gonna read the Industrial Revolutionaries (which I'm really looking forward to), the Ruin of the Roman Empire, and Frontiersman, what seems like a really good biography of Dan Boone.</blockquote>
