when i first started reading rudyard kipling books many years ago... i got carried away and binge read them from cover to cover seldom taking a break.. ...plus they are the kind of stories i can read multiple times and still enjoy them every time i read them........
finally i got a message saying the book i have been waiing for since last year.... the continuation of douglas preston/lincoln childs cabinet of dr leng.... . the angel of vengeance has finally been released... ...barnes and noble has the regular version of it now... .. but i ordered the double signed deluxe library version with the clear dust jacket.... and they said it is in the mail... .... it will be difficult but i;ll wait until it gets here.....
Love that title!4 more months and then the second part of the book i posted
a picture of up above .. the cabinet of dr leng.... comes out
.... . angel of vengence ... ... i hate it when authors do this...
i would rather they just wrote and published a really long book
.... all at once... .. then i can read it in sections if i want to or
become obsessed and read it all the way through in a week
of long days and sleepless nights.. ... but it would be my
choice.... ....i would not have to wait a year and half.....

Total Truth by Nancy Pearcey. It is our textbook in an apologetics class I am taking but I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone just for reading.

Seriously, it is a really great resource! Her material is quite relevant to today's culture and everything going on in the modern Church. I am trying to get some of our deacons and elders to get this book and "audit" the course along with me.

Brilliantly written, but not entirely what I expected, given its reputation as a book about a fanatic out for vengeance against a giant murder whale. It's about 1/3 action, and 2/3 whale facts. But the lack of plot is made up for by the fascinating characters.
It's a fascinating story, though. I've watched several different movie versions.
Love the first paragraph.

thanks..... that particular series of books by that team of authors is one of my favorites .... one of my friends saw one of their older books in my backpack years ago and started reading it herself... "still life with crows"... .. she was so amazed by it she told her dad about it.... he read it and then went out and bought the entire set of all their books up to that time... .. then ..like me... started buying the new ones as soon as they came out...... .... i have always hoped more of their books would be made into movies... but unfortunately only one of them ever was.... their first book called.."relic"... and also unfortunately the producer of that movie did a horrible job of portraying what was in the book and what the book was all about.... ...since then others have been written that would make an even better movie...but movie makers don;t want to try...
