Almost got the Nathan Hale biography done. Haven't had alot of time to read this week trying to get into class this semester. I've never had such a hard time getting registered etc. Apparently, there was a glitch where 3,000 people who were transfering to UCF their grades were lost. So, I'm stressed I just was allowed to take orientation today and class starts on Monday. Not a good way to start a new semester at a new school behind. UCF did say that because of VCC screw up we would not be charged with late registration etc.

I think I'm only going to take two classes looks like it will be clincal psychology and statistics for psychology. We shall see what the next day or something.

for self-improvement Max Lucado has done vey well for me. I think it was called Finding your sweet spot but it made me think alot about what it is that God wants me to do. It helped me figure out that even with all of my disabilities I can still serve God and he opened up to me the path I'm traveling down now. If you would have asked me five years ago if I'd be pursuing a degree to become a counselor I would have laughed at you. I thought I was supposed to be the one rushing in to save you as an EMT but so many people have said I've changed their life by talking with them. I want to help people and now I think I'm on the right track i'm feeling the best I've felt in years and the locked gears are finally starting to move albeit slow but moving none the less.

Stopped reading Stephen King novels after It in 1986. Always thought his short story collections (Night Shift, Skeleton Crew) were the best of his works though.

The first book in the HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy was brilliant, but the rest got progressively more boring and uninspired. Like the Dune series. Good fiction is really hard to write. 

So far, Bryson's 'Notes from a Small Island' appears one of his less inspired travelogues. He's not as bitingly funny as he was in 'Neither Here nor There' or 'The Lost Continent', mostly bereft of the honest-to-goodness amazement he had in 'A Sunburned Country', and nowhere near as personally insightful into his own sense of self as he was in 'A Walk in the Woods'.

Yeah I read most of the Micheal Crichton books both the action/suspense and his med school stuff (five patients-jasper johns etc..) and reread on occasion and enjoyed Dan Brown.  I wanted to read Lost Symbol but couldn't find a copy when it did come to my mind in the stores. I even read some similar stuff like James Rollins Subterrainean and the like.

  Unfortunately work right now has me reading journal articles on cation channels, growth factor receptors and cancer/pain alternative therapies. The Nerd in me lead me to read Francis Collins The Language of God. and stuff like The Lady Tasting Tea can't remember the author.  Recently I went back to the classics like Darwin's Essays on the Evolution of Man and I want to find some of Galileo's four books.
