STAR WARS: Legacy of the Force

Although most of my reading is of the non-fiction variety, I do enjoy fiction.  Usually, though, that fiction is not in the form of great novels that are masterpieces of literature.  I enjoy those, and in fact my favorite books are by Austen, Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare, and Hugo.  No, I find most of my fiction to be escapism. 

There.  I admitted it.  So what?  I find escapism to be a cheap way to have an adventure.  I enjoy Crichton, Clancy, and flying around the galaxy far, far away in Star Wars

Here's a video of the authors of the latest story arch:

Current Book I am Reading

I am currently reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins and I find myself agreeing with him. NO, not that I am becoming an atheist! I agree with many of his observations about "believers" and the way that their beliefs impact (or rather NOT impact) their life. Furthermore the "reasons" that they attempt to argue for faith are weak. I love apologetics and reasoning with people - this will help me answer some questions that previously I was unable to and it helps me solidify my own beliefs.
