No, but I read Black Hills and that is one of the most engrossing books I have ever read. That is the reason I am going for more books by Simmons.

I would really like to take up some reading myself. Seems it could relax and calm ones nerves depending on the subject.

I just finished reaing "The Time Traveler" by H.G. Wells. Really cool "Book", more like a short story (I think only 139 pages). INtiresting take on the future and what wealth desparity and evolution over time will bring to the future!

I just got my latest order of books from Amazon, three books on Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Ericksonian psychotherapy. Boring stuff to anyone not interested in those subjects, but brain candy for me.

I just started "The Bloody White Baron: The extraordinary story of the Russian nobleman who became the last Khan of Mongolia". It's a biography of Baron Ungern von Sternberg, a truly deranged and ultra-violent man who fancied himself as a Buddhist mystic and incarnation of Chinggis Khan with aspirations of building a Mongol army to invade Russia and Central Asia and while he was at it, destroy the Bolsheviks and the Jews through mass murder. A twisted fellow indeed, and a man who's atrocities were shortly thereafter eclipsed by WWII and Hitler.
