that's a really cool chapter... I actually bought that book within weeks of it hitting the book-stores; I read that chapter while still being a bit freaked out by a bad acid trip
so you can imagine my imagination running wild...

i think there is much truth in this chapter. maybe not literally, but what did charles fort say way back when... "i think we're someone's property."
unpleasant thoughts for sure.

"Treasures of Galveston Bay" by Carroll Lewis... stories of different treasures buried on and around the Galveston area by pirates like LaFitte and many more ...make me want to go right now with my metal detector and start hunting....millions of gold including shipwrecks in the area...not exact science but enough information to get started on...an old book that is sorta hard to find. I paid $20 for my used hardback copy from Amazon..
The Gold Coast by Nelson Demille followed by Promise Me by Harlan Coben
Finished the Dune trilogy, now reading a Kathy Reichs.
First Dune is Badass! Frank's books were always much better. (long story)

“Not since The Thin Red Line have I read such a powerful war novel. . . Kevin Powers puts you in the hot seat of the Iraq War, fought from the inside out. This is an incredible little book.”

Rereading the Hammer and Cross trilogy by Harry Harrison.
It's an alternate historical drama with a dash of fantasy. Central to the theme is a clash between the religion of the Norse and the Catholic church. The protagonist, Shef, is an English bastard by Viking rape and through circumstance ends up working his way from Carl in the Viking army to king. It is left ambiguous if in reality, his luck is due to his actual birth by a Viking god.

Next up a biography of Thomas Paine.

Howards End by E.M. Forster interesting novel, chock full of keeper quotes
ex: "It is thus, if there is any rule, that we ought to die - neither as victim nor as fanatic, but as the seafarer who can greet with an equal eye the deep that he is entering, and the shore that he must leave."

had to repeat this because this "book" is so much more than a book..
