I've got the boxset of Deadwood, loved that series it was just a shame it never got a proper ending, I know the director or writer was desperate to make a Deadwood film after it was cancelled but it never came to fruition

Finished up 'Scouting on Two Continents' what a fucking dude Frederick Russel Burnham was, he served under Rhodes, he fought alongside Churchill, he held court with Teddy Roosevelt. The man was indeed a very interesting sort and I am very pleased with his autobiographical work.


Now I must search for what I am going to read next...I reckon I can continue on with The Bible (I do plan to read holy texts from the major religions including the Koran) but it's a very tedious kind of reading and you often wonder if things have been translated correctly and even if they have been are you understanding it as it was meant to be understood or misinterpreting....other books you can reread the pages and get a clearer picture of what is happening and what you're supposed to take away as the reader, with The Bible sometimes that just muddies the waters.


I had started 'Shop Class as Soul Craft' but I just wasn't interested in it even when I started it...I want to eventually read it, but I've got to be in that mood first.



Perhaps now is the time to dig into Salinger's works? Or maybe Twain?

I've got a couple of Twain books, only Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, I've never got around to reading them even though I really want to.

I'll probably add them to my list of definites for the new year

I would have figured you'd have been all over his books. I've read them both for school, but there's reading for school and reading for pleasure so I will approach them differently this time. Also Twain's autobiography I would have thought would have been intriguing to a big reader like you.


Salinger is one i haven't read before but upon hearing how fucking brilliant he was I am certainly interested in reading his works.

I think that is the problem I had with getting round to Finn and Sawyer, I know that they were books that people read in school which kind of put me off, I don't know why it just kind of did.
I've never been one for autobiographies either, I've read a fair few but I prefer fiction 99% of the time.
As for Sallinger, Catcher in the Rye was really good but I think it is more for young adults but still one that should be read, I've never really heard anyone talk about his other stuff.

Saying that I was put off by Twain being school reading is strange considering I had to read 'of mice and men' in school and I loved it.

El Kabong had to read English classics and hated every page of it. His resentment is why he hates us English.
