Bridge of Souls - Fiona McIntosh

Ok, so I finished the 2nd book in the series in record time. It's been a very long time since I've read something so totally involving and unpredictable.

Blood and Memory - Fiona Mcintosh
Read the first book, "Myrren's Gift" in about 2 days flat. Went out and bought Book 2 and Book 3 so that I wouldn't be stranded without the series! I'm glad I've found another classic to add to my library!

Very cool new type of fantasy book. Characters are really involving, without being utterly perfect. I've already bought the sequal.

Cryptonomicon. 'Tis extrodinarily geeky and slow to start. Once you do start, it's well worth the effort. It's one of those books that gets your brain involved.

Scary narative about what McDonalds has done for the American society. Quite frankly, I'll never eat another Big Mac!

A "warts and all" guide to an ordinary man who wrote something that inspired a generation. Well... that's what the cover says, anyway.

Little bit of history, little bit of science, and a pinch of social commentary.

Love Suffering?

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love, but then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love, to be happy then is to suffer but suffering makes one unhappy, therefore to be unhappy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.
From here.
