No Name Games

Seriously, I think I’ve been doing too much of it lately. Every day I’m feeling my brain expand a little bit more and a little bit more. Every day I’m reading hundreds of pages and every day I find myself wondering what to do when I run out of pages to read. Then I start going back and trying to write down tidbits of information from what I’ve been reading to use for later in… whatever.

Today I read a book about Ninjas (lossa nifty information). Yesterday I read the entire series of I Luv Halloween (in hardback edition - with a bonus comic). Day before that I read the entire Silent Hill series in an omnibus edition. Friday I killed off a 1062 page book, which was a collection of books written by Charles Fort that were release between 1919 and 1932 - so many awesome tales of bizarre happenings in real life, good times… Before all that I read a book called Energy Work that was all about raising your spiritual energy levels and crap like that, a book called ‘Your Inner Fish’ (details physical evidence of human evolution down to basically pond scum - though not everyone agrees of course), a book about plants and the various reasons people grow them along with how the plants seem to be manipulating us (it’s not as whacko as that makes it sound).

Seriously… I’m running out of stuff… tomorrow I’m gonna be killing off a book about ancient egyptian myths. I’m reading ghost stories on the side. If I don’t find more to read, I’ll be stuck with ghost stories and programming manuals from classes I took like 6 years ago.
So… anyone have any suggestions? I’m almost scared to think of what insanity I shall pick up next…

Btw - if anyone can stand a book that’s over a thousand pages, Charles Fort is DEFINITELY worth it. His theories are outlandish, and very outdated concepts by today’s standards (not to mention, kind of laughable sometimes) but the points he makes are absolutely spectacular, and the stuff he found through research is simply unbelievable. You will find no better collection of strange, inexplicable, sometimes macabre, events than that book. It’s called the Book of the Damned - the Collected Works of Charles Fort.

I’m hoping to get a book on XNA, so I have something to follow along with that I can have in my hand I guess. Maybe that’ll stall out my book binge for a bit. >.>

*sigh* Thank god Barnes and Noble keeps doing these weird massive price reductions on books they haven’t been able to sell…
