Finished The Wars of the Ancient Greeks: And the Invention of Western Military Culture by Victor Davis

Hanson, and the C.D.Howe biography (I may have posted that already, I can't remember).

12th book finished this year

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

The book actually instructs you to read it in its entirety 3 times, and then you will want to keep reading it over and over. I am assuming back to back is what would deliver the message best and is what's implied but once a year is better than nothing for now. It was interesting to revisit but hard to remember how differently I felt about the content compared to 1 and a half or three fourths or more of a year ago. i actually had like 100 pages left and saw this post so i just finished reading it now.

i am around 100 pages into the ethical slut by janet w hardy and dossie easton. this one is already giving me the feeling that I would like to try and read this atleast twice. i wonder how many books i have said that about now though. probably love now by ram dass was the other one.

anyways the irony of someone like me reading TAGR, LOA books, etc. and not even having the discipline to stick to a reading schedule, let alone plan out nearly any of the things i regularly do in life is absolutely hilarious. but i might actually be on schedule for my yearly goal. i am feeling like I had a much better reading schedule at the beginning of last year but I am learning about more complex aspects of life right now that will be foundational for finally planning and building schedules around juggling different hobbies effectively which should lead to having multiple actual skill sets. but put simply my environment is different now as well as my habits so im hoping its for the best. i have books from earlier this year with bookmarks in them that i dont actually even remember where I left the book so Im not sure if I should just restart those when I get to them or what. This is whats good about pdf files, jumping back into stoner is starting to feel more and more like i would be finding bookmarks for old bukowski pdfs i started reading when i was 16 so if im gonna do that maybe i should really soon.

I've already finished Isaacson's Steve Jobs. Now I will start reading Thomas Jefferson the art of power. Picture to be followed. :)

I hope I can finish my book today.

39. Ozamu Dazai - No Longer Human

40. Spike Milligan - Puckoon

41. Steven Pressfield - The War of Art

42. Steven Pressfield - Do the Work

43. Yukio Mishima - The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea

Don't really know what to make of The Sailor... but I can tell you it's a banger.

The War of Art might be the best book of its kind that I've read, it's another book about overcoming inhibitions / procrastination and pursuing creative goals.

How long have I been away?

Lots of drama IRL I had my escape in story time.

I reach some low points in life and books set the benchmark sometimes...

Harry Potter and his friends joined my imagination in 6th grade also a series of unfortunate events soon fallowed.

Last time I checked I finished "The restaurant at the end of the universe"

While Steven King's The Stand still haunts me, I am reaching to some build up with the coming winter and the whole matter of faith becoming the focus of light Vs dark which made me doing something extreme...

This book

I started reading that...just because at one point I told myself that one for the reading bucket list.

Just made it to the 2nd book of Chronicles...whoa...I bite off a big book to chew on....

I mean King made tons of references to it so it got me thinking "really? no way I gotta find out what he is talking about..."

So I got side tracked by that...oh yeah it also a pretty heavy to deal with....

A good laugh +1

Life, the Universe, and Everything

Sometimes the biggest joke is the one nobody makes yet everybody laughs...dufaq did I just say that for?

It give me such a much needed laugh "Your a jerk, Dent!"

This story is tied to events in my life..."I think,I'll go mad"

What I told myself as I was planning my mother's funeral for my birthday...

The details are fuzzy but the feeling is there...the story leaves you with a sense of being the butt of a joke yet it is better to laugh it your life then to cry.

Sushi as a cooping tool +1

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

I've been stress eating...The Japanese know how to eat my mouth waters for some udon right about now.

As far as the story goes an inside out house and a flying couple in the clouds and an awkward date, phone call and raffle ticket...just whats next?

This time around I found myself going, "ok...whats next?" Like I checked out half way and tagged along only because someone else girlfriend wanted to go.

Belive it or not the ending made it worth the trip...Poor Marvin, why do I relate to him so much?

Bonus book!+1

The Dispatcher

This one was short and brutal

Like a pillow over the face of lifeless vegetable was it mercy that makes you take a life?

What if you had to kill people to save people?

Along creeper shape +1

Made me wanna read comics books once I got done with the story. It rekindled my love from the whole series.

Great stuff to listen to while drawing.

LITFAM UPDATE: BOUT TO GET SPOOKY EDITION

Another danger duo emerges, as @Kiwi and @Yomuchan both hit their goals last month, and @animasouloss brought it in with a sneak attack at the last minute. Also I've only just realized me and @Kiwi are neck and neck for total books read. The race is on.

Top Readers

1. @Kiwi (5)
2. @TopazAzul (5)
3. @Jackho (5)

October is of course horror month, so in lieu of a specific book of the month you're encouraged to go for whatever horror themed works appeal to you. Which also means I can lazily recycle last year's image while feeling only slightly bad about it.

@Abbyka @Absurd-Ditties @Alias @Atlas @animasouloss @Asandir @Boss @Dancing-Ducki @Dean @Feenix17 @Fro @Ganon-Dorf @GallowJolt @Haggard @IrishGun @Jackho @Kiwi @Malachy @man-cruss @masheenH3ad @Peregrinus @Phobotech @Rigoesbueno @SevenSeize @stafffighter @ThatOne05 @TheReviewTrickster @TopazAzul @tyler2513 @Yomuchan @ZJ @Zymbot @RoboSeven @RoboBray @Waferclock @RoboDucki @DistractedDuck

Does this not count? I should be at 1 out of 6

Missed ya, will try to remember it for the next update. Look at it this way: you already have one book down for October.

Thanks for the update. Too bad I couldn't finish my book in time. But that just means that I have to read two this month, right?

You're going down, clown!

Disappointingly enough, the libraries in my county only have two more books on my to- read list. I'm gonna have to get around to ordering the rest.

Read the first LN of the Overlord series. "The Undead King."

Lots of little details that the anime missed in here.

I am at a total of two now, I just knocked out this one:

I gotta say, it was frustrating and the payoff basically leads up to a giant advertisement to this guys a website, a new book, and some positive reinforcement radio thing which presumably costs money.

The jist of it is basically flipping negative self thoughts like "why aren't I good enough, why am I broke, why am I fat" to asking yourself, by default, "why am I enough, why am I wealthy, why am I in shape" which is a fundamental I'm already familiarized with in the "thoughts = behaviors = results" mindframe.

It was a breezy read, because he'll start a chapter with a few paragraphs about the subject "Afformations in Romance, Afformations in Spirituality" and then cut to a testimony where somebody wrote to him, stroking off what a genius he is, demonstrating an example where they used afformations (flipping a negative/unproductive thought into a positive/productive one) and how it changed their life for the better. Then he lists about two and a half pages of hypothetical example afformation questions you could ask yourself. And the next chapter will be the exact same thing.

The bulk of this book is him stroking off about himself, with flecks of gold wisdom interspersed inbetween. It did reaffirm (reafform?) The belief that positive thoughts = positive behaviors = positive results, but I think this book will be more profound in the hands of someone at a lower reading level. It also gets a little Jesusy, which is hard to ignore.

I gave up on cryptonomicon. Too much WWII and technobabble about WISPs and email that did not age well now that the stuff is ubiquitous.

Started reading Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve and added audible book on tape. My first time reading a kindle book with the audio book and I've found it's a pretty good setup. I listen to a few chapters during my drive and it syncs up on my kindle when I read in the evening. Does take a second to sync up and I need to remember to do that before I start driving in the morning but I've been impressed. I'm a sucker for steampunk and sci fi so I've been enjoying it.

Welp that only lasted 2 days. I guess having a 45min commute each way means for a lot faster reading. For a YA novel I liked the world building even if the character development wasn't great. A steampunk world of traction cities chasing others around and eating them and airships and sword fights is right up my ally.

I bought the other 3 books in the series and audible add on for them. Started on Predator's Gold by Philip Reeve today

47.Spilled Milk by K.L. Randis 

Finally finished "4.50 from Paddington" by Agatha Christie. The reason it took so long to finish this book is that the story is like 10 chapters too long. There are pages over pages where characters just repeat what we already now, often multiple times. And Mrs Marple is in this story on like 10 pages. The rest of the investigation is led by the police and a friend of Marple. Not really what I had expected, since the movie is one of my favorites.

Oh, and there's no chance that the reader might solve this case before the investigators, as this is all about what a character from the book SAW. But it's not like the reader could see it for themselves...

What is reading but interpretation?

I've been chipping away at the chucks of sound.While I draw upon the page my days of what I do.

I found this whole collection, sadly I treat more like a reference book to find the words on PDF.

The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath

Without context this is the most far out adventure of a necromancer or mystic sage I had to drone into.

It seemed endless and confusing maybe that's the point of dreams to make you wonder when it ends.

Finn J. D. John

The narrator of the series does not do H.P Lovecraft justice

Dreadful voice acting of the worst kind for this tone and mood of the story. It's almost comical at times when you are the most tense with fear.

Count it how you want, I'm just showing you stories I like

I'm somewhat caught up with tasks but have taken a breather of sorts to get some reading in.

36) Idiom Attack Vol 1: Everyday Living (French Edition)

It's in English and French. You are introduced to English sayings and those sayings are translated into French. The only thing I didn't see were French sayings translated into English but it's an interesting read nonetheless.

37) The Call of Cthulu by H.P. Lovecraft

More of a novel than I was expecting especially after reading the Nameless City and Sweet Emergarde. Definitely an interesting read that brought to mind past readings of the likes of Relic and Mystery of the Mary Celeste.

38) The Dunwick Horror by H.P. Lovecraft

Memories of my urban legends research surfaced a lot with this one. Like #37, this was like a novel and I came to see how so many authors were inspired by Lovecraft's work. You are certainly given a phonetic workout when reading the dialogue of the Dunwick residents but it was still an interesting read.

I'm still new to the Lovecraft lore and I think, though it wasn't stated, it's somewhat tied to the mythos or at least it feels like it is.

39) Read some articles September 2019 Core Update by Google via Search Engine Journal, Search Metrics and The Hoth.

Got curious about what was going on with my blogs as it suddenly stopped getting views; I'm more concerned about the one on scholarships as it seems not many have seen it outside of the places I've shared the link directly. Still confused overall especially with the 'no follow' thing to which I hope they update their wording on what it actually does.

Well, I'm still engaged in my Lovecraft binge plans and hope to read some more tales and hope to getting around to posting my drawings for Inktober 2019 later today. I'm one book away from reaching my GOAL!

I finished Predator's Gold by Philip Reeve a few days ago. Characters are still a bit meh but I'm still enjoying the sci-fi, apocalyptic, steampunk world.

I'm already pretty far into Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve, the 3rd book in the Mortal Engines series.

Finished  Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve this week and started A Darkling Plain by Philip Reeve.

I wouldn't say the Mortal Engines series is the best series out there but the world building is just good enough and the writing is approachable enough to keep me reading. Sometimes I like dense stuff like Neal Stephenson but I guess this year I'm feeling easy reading sci fi considering I've read nearly all of John Scalzi's books and gave up on Dune and Cryptonomicon. I've been browsing around for the next series to pick up. Has anyone read Hyperion? Popped up in my recommended list and seems to have a good review score.

I'll probably finish Darkling Plain this week. The audio books have been nice for my car ride as the only alternative radio station has spotty signal along my drive and cell service is also spotty so Spotify also cuts out in some places as I drive... But they're expensive. $4-8 per book on top of whatever the book was. Still less than a hardcover but yeah I go through books a lot quicker since I'm adding in an additional hour and a half of reading to each work day when before I'd only read on the can and just before bed.

Hyperion is a gilded classic. I never finished it cuz that's my style but it's on my "will-return-to, eventually" list. I think it's a bit closer to Dune than to this more easy, pulpy sci fi though.

Thanks. that's sort of what I imagined but people wrote similar glowing reviews for Mortal Engines. I'll put it on my list to read eventually when the mood for something dense like that hits

Okay, it's time to catch up with this. Spoilers ahead, I guess.

BOOK 6 - The Shining

A masterfully written horror thriller and an undisputed classic. The depth of characterization is immense, the writing fantastic. Seriously, I love the way the characters are all written in their own ways. The writing for Danny is written to reflect Danny's thinking, the writing for Wendy Wendy's, and the writing for Jack Jack's. And it does that perfectly. Something it does incredibly well is set-up. The whole book, and I nean the whole book is filled with repeated motifs, images and character thoughts that all build up to an amazing, thrilling climax. Really exciting. All that repetition pays off so well. I mean, it's a fantastic book in terms of story and characters, but I think it's even better when you consider it an allegpry for the way children view domestic abuse, told through the lenses of mostly Danny and Jack, with Danny's shining being a metaphor for the sensibilities of children, bringing the demons in his father's mind to life and, by doing so, bringing his wrath upon himself by way of projection of guilt, while also exploring the way the vicious cycle of abuse works, with Jack being influenced by his father's abuse, even going so far as to start resenting his environment for limiting his power and right to control. This is evidenced by the fact that everything happens exactly the way Jack imagines it would, and the book sort of hints at it anyway.

I'll have to reread it, because my young mind hasn't fully comprehended it and I just now realize I've forgotten some of it. That's okay, right? I'm not gonna get the most out of every book I read right away? I'm still only a teen.

So I made up for a dry September by reading 4 novels in October with a big assist by my 45min commute each way and audio books. Finished the last book in the Mortal Engines series. Overall it was a good series, especially for YA fare. I started Kraken by China Mieville. It was suggested to me by @alicemako after I mentioned liking some of his other books.
