For those of you that like to read, that is. I mean... you ARE playing a MUD.
Anyway.
Currently reading the Dresden Files.
Harry Dresden is my new hero.

That is funny - and I am not kidding - I am really into the Dresden files right now, too. Also the same author's Codex Alera. Ever since I took the dive and got the Kindle I've been reading until my mind is in a vegetable state

Sweet -- I love the Temeraire series. She can't write fast enough for me.
I just finished re-reading an older series that I loved the first time I read it: The Deeds of Paksenarion by Elizabeth Moon. One of my favorite series of all time, it is a trilogy. I bet someone here has also read it...

This will be no surprise at all to my fellow Clerics, especially the new ones, and Luminier - I'm reading (yes, in Latin, for fun - shut up) Thomas Aquinas's
Summa Theologiae.
I would like to read more novels, but I usually get recommendations from my friends, and they don't have any time to read novels either.
I did just finish Malcolm Gladwell's
Outliers, which I thought was really good. I'm planning on reading his other books, as soon as they're available at the local library.
Other than the above, it's mostly periodicals, recipes, and various tips on convincing infants that yes, they should go to sleep.

Just tell them that if they don't sleep Luminier will come get them.
And it's not fair Caelia, you get Thomas Aquinas in your corner, and all I have backing me in my corner is my brain.

Thomas Aquinas can be in your brain too, for free.

Guess I should rename myself to -no one- in this case. I actually enjoy
reading books about physics and astrophysics, as well as reading papers on
arXiv.org.
