The Athenian Constitution

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.
I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

I read an ogham stone about the proper way to summon lord loss and his familiars to wreak havoc on the filthy human land.

The last thing I was reading was a Discover magazine from April, 2009.
That's a long time to go without reading.

Haha, no I'm just reading a bunch of old magazines. I rarely go more than a day without reading (recreationally that is).

I really like it so far. It's my first Star Wars book.
What did you ultimately think of it?
It's ne of my favorite Star Wars novels. It's completely uncontaminated by Lucas. A true (and intended) sequel to Star Wars. I go back to it occasionally when I want to clear my head.

Got Doctor Sleep for Xmas. It's a sequel to the Shining. Seems alright so far.

That's what I figured. I wasn't sure though. I ought to know better. :P

The last book I finished reading was an abridged copy of Don Quixote. It was going good until Dorothea became a pushover and took Fernando back; that killed the book for me.
Maybe the unabridged version makes it easier to swallow. *shrug*
The book I'm currently reading is The Complete Stories by Flannery O'Connor. Too many stories drag, though, and many of the endings are too abrupt.

I need to get back into reading. I used to read a lot, but I haven't read a single book in the past year and I have no good excuse. :-/

I wish it was possible to have as much free time in my adulthood as I do now. I'm currently reading fifty-something books at once, but I won't be able to do that much longer. :P

Watching Sherlock series 3 put me in the mood for Holmes in a big way, so I recently started reading the original works, which I haven't done since I was a kid. Just read The Sign of the Four last night, and found it rather thrilling and excellent. Moving on to the short stories soon.

I'm currently reading The Han Solo Adventures by Brian Daley, and I've finished the first two books and am currently on the third.
Han Solo at Stars' End wasn't all that engaging, though it picked up enough at the end to make it worthwhile, while Han Solo's Revenge was the complete opposite -- the story engaged me at first, but it floundered and fell flat at the end.
Overall, they're decent stories with decent characterization, and they succeed at making the SW Universe feel larger by taking place in regions beyond the Empire. But unless Han Solo and the Lost Legacy proves to be a truly excellent story that makes up for the shortcomings of its predecessors, I won't be keeping my copy of the book.
