She's fine and is recuperating, but I'm way behind on reading and research so I'm now catching up.  Books on CD:    A Life - biography of Paul  McCartney, very good    The Silent Girl - fictional  murder case    Land of the Silver Apples -  YA book on a young boy training to become a Bard. Excellent work.    The One Minute  Entrepreneur      Comics/Graphic Novels:      Batman - Gotham  shall be Judged    Amazing  Spiderman: the Movie Prelude      eBooks or Internet Library:  none      Fiction:    Fate of Worlds - the end to  Larry Niven's Fleet of Worlds sci-fi series. I've been looking forward to this  eagerly for months.    The Seven Wonders - a great  book about Gordianus the Finder and his mentor, the poet Antipater of Sidon  (I've read his poetry), traveling to all Seven Ancient Wonders and at each  wonder they encounter a mystery, problem, puzzle, or crime. Really enjoyable.  Chock full of great ancient historical anecdotes.       Non-Fiction:     Inner River - a book on  Eastern/Orthodox Christian Mysticism I'm really looking forwards to. Part of my  studies of modern mysticism for the Priesthood.    Greek Fire, Poison Arrows and  Scorpion Bombs - a book I'm re-reading as research for my Basilegate  Novels. Kevin reminded me of it.    The Aleppo Codex - a  detective/investigative work on a subject, the Aleppo version of the Bible from  Syria (now in Israel for safe-keeping) that I've been wanting to know more about  for years.    The Art of Intelligence - a  book by one of the Clandestine Service's Operations Officers of the CIA. He was  also counter-terrorism. He knows runs Crumpton, LLC. He seems really straight-up  for a Company Man.    Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning  - I'm re-reading this too. Haven't read it in years. But it is without  a doubt the best book on mathematics I've read in a decade (it's in my personal  library) and it has given me numerous new ideas on Number and Matter theory.  Superb work.    The Art of Manliness: on living the 7  Manly Virtues - if you're a man and haven't read this, then do. As soon  as possible. If you're a woman, this is how men should act.    The Historical Dictionary of Jesus  - finishing up    The Crusades A to Z -  finishing up    Inside the Minds of Mass Murderers  - this is no mamby-pamby sociological theory treatise on criminology.  It is a sober-eyed and useful look at such murderers and their habits and  backgrounds. Very useful. Helping me develop my Mass Murderer Preemption  Protocols.    No Apology: the Case for American  Greatness - Mitt Romney's work on American exceptionalism   </blockquote>
