    I've taken up a novella by Leo Tolstoy titled "Master and Man."

    I really dig the Russian authors of that period...Chekhov, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky...I am only ankle deep in it, though.

    "The Celtic Magazine" Volume I Number 3. January 1876.
    Free from the Gutenburg Ebook Project.
    “A Monthly Periodical Devoted to the Literature, History,
    Antiquities, Folk Lore, Traditions, and the Social and
    Material Interests of the Celt at Home and Abroad”

    Excerpt From: Various. “The Celtic Magazine, Vol. 1, No. 3, January 1876 / A Monthly Periodical Devoted to the Literature, History, Antiquities, Folk Lore, Traditions, and the Social and Material Interests of the Celt at Home and Abroad.”
    I find the magazine very interesting.

    Hmmm... off the top of my head, as the books are all at home and I'm not...

    1. Seven Pillars of Wisdom, T.E. Lawrence (yes, "Lawrence of Arabia" and the tale of the Arab movement from inside).

    2. Hex, Allen Steele (one of my favourite sci-fi authors in the modern age)

    3. The Tesla Papers, David Hatcher Childress (ed.)

    4. The Psychedelic Future of the Mind, Thomas B. Roberts, Ph.D.

    5. The Demon Princes, Volume 2, Jack Vance

    I'm a voracious reader, especially of science fiction with a strong bias toward "hard s.f." rather than fantasy. I read a lot of "antique science" -- mostly Tesla, Steinmetz and contemporaries. Other stuff creeps in as seasoning in response to occasional prodding from friends and intimates, or interesting leads followed here and there.

    Having read that book, I'm not sure you ever left theological theory...

    Just finished reading The Famine Plot, by Tim Pat Coogan. It's a very interesting read about what happened in Ireland during Gorta Mor. If interested in this subject, be prepared to get depressed!!!

    I'm now reading St. Francis, by Robert West. It's dry at present, but I do hope it gets more historical. Will follow up later.

    I decided to give my overworked brain a rest and read Hard Country by Michael McGarrity. It's a western and I highly recommend it.

    Finished Closing the Ring by Winston Churchill about two weeks ago. Finished A Memory of Light (the last Robert Jordan Wheel of Time books yesterday).

    I decided to start reading Anna Karenina instead of finishing Mr. Churchill's series. Triumph and Tragedy (the last book) is on deck, though.
