Okay back to the topic.
Hm. I'm not exactly reading anything in particular. But however rather reading old topics, forums and articles about zodiac signs.
Apparently I have discovered quite a few interesting facts.
One is that you have more than one zodiac signs that repersent you.

Ascendant/Rising is the mask we wear in our daily lives on a day to day basis when meeting new people. Basicly it is the same as our sun sign in a way.
Sun sign: The Sun is depicting our outer appearance, or how we present ourselves to other people. It is our as to speak façade.
Moon sign: Rules inner personality where very few rarely see(Only people close to you will most likely see it.)

And yeah you can except me in the zodiac and horoscope section of the internet today. :D

My zodiac signs are.
Sorpioc(Sun), Taurus(Moon) and Leo(Rising). :)

I know it is techically a children's book (age 12 and up) but I don't believe that book ages should be limited. Anyway finished from the Bartimaeus trilogy/series The Ring of Solomon. As per usual, I love Bartimaeus and his humour.

And I am currently reading Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice.

Oh my gosh! I love that series! I have the first four volumes. The adventure of Trag the Tauren was really something. Out of all the stories within the first four volumes, I liked the Darkmoon Fair story the most. It was just so unpexpected throughout it, especially the ending. What do you like best about that series? The Trag story that continues through it, or one of the mini stories?

Well... I'm going to attempt to read "The Thirty Years War: Europe's Tragedy" by Peter H. Wilson. It's almost 1000 pages, so I'm sure I'll be taking this one slowly and reading it in leaps and bounds rather than straight through.

I'm going to start reading 'Atlas Shrugged'. I've been meaning to for a while but I've never gotten round to it.

I've read some of that. It's kinda difficult, but once you figure out the rhyme scheme, it's not that bad.

Just don't expect anything you saw in the videogame!



Back on topic, I'm flipping between The 13 Gates Of The Necronomicon (a mix of a Lovecraftian encyclopedia, and an astral travel guide) and The Runes Workbook (A guide and workbook for divination and talisman work with runes. It's freaking complicated!)

Yeah, I'm an occultist, what of it man?

I finished reading it a few days ago. It was terrible - where was the hardcore action?

Nah, I'm joking, I liked it. Already ordered 'Purgatory' :D Incidently, I'm a massive Lovecraft fan - do you think The 13 Gates of the Necronomicon would interest me?

Yeah, perhaps. It advertises itself as a sort of sourcebook for anyone who is interested in using LOvecraft's mythos as a base for an occult system. But in truth, very little of it is to do with the occult. Just at the end of every chapter it has a bit on astral travel or something.
The rest of it is more a sourcebook and field guide to different aspects of the mythos, like locations, planets, creatures, artifacts.

So yeah, if you're willing to skip over the astral travel bits (or try them out, if you want), it's a pretty good little encyclopedia and source book for Lovecraft fans.

And if you want to pursue the rest of the occult side of the Cthulhu Mythos, there are the other books in the series: Necronomicon- The Wanderings of Alhazred (basically, his interpretation of what the Necronomicon would contain), Alhazred- The story of the Mad Arab (a story based on Alhazred's life), The Grimoire of the Necronomicon (a ritual book and occult guide to working with the Great Old Ones) and 13 Gates of...

Yeah, check them out.

I'm done with HS, so now I can read for leisure! :D

I am also making a project for myself regarding these books, called WAI(Y)RN (What am I/you Reading Now?)

This "program" partakes in these following steps:

1. Read five books (that I haven't read before or at least haven't read in a long time) in the summer and the winter.
2. Write Individual Reviews for them to post on YT.
3. At the end of the year, I form these books in a Top 10 list of least to greatest my personal favorites in that year.
4. Move on to the next year.

So for this Summer, I am reading the following:

*The Qur'ran (reading the whole year)

1. Little Women-IN PROGRESS
2. North
3. Animals in Translation
4. Looks

For Winter:

1. White Fang
2. Sanctuary
3. Dreams of my Father (cheating a bit one this one, reading this all year along with the Qur'ran)
4. Psychic Vampires
5. Thinking in Pictures

I'm reading "How the States Got Their Shapes" by Mark Stein.

I'm really liking it so far. Each chapter describes how the borders of a particular state came to be the way they are today. It really shows quite an interesting kind of history of the United States. For example, the location of virtually every border of Maryland was the result of that state (or British colony at the time) ending up on the losing end of border disputes, surveying errors, and a mislabeled map.
