Stones From the River, by Ursula Hegi. I love books like this, that give you such tiny details about the characters' lives.

We know you love the phenethylamines. The question is do they love you back?

Not in a million years.  Only thing worse are the movies.
For a Child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace

Hiero of Syracuse

I'm reading a book by Fr. Arminjon called the "End of the Present World", I skipped ahead to chapters that caught my attention and from what I've read so far, it seems pretty solid. In addition to this, I am reading a fan-fiction (tis a guilty pleasure of mine) called "Prince Iroh". It's a very polished work and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes war stories.

I read that last year. A very interesting book.

Just about to read C S Lewis's Cosmic Trilogy again, which I first read last year.
Did you ever give us your thoughts on "That Hideous Strength"?
I've just finished it again. I'm not sure where to begin giving my thoughts. It's an amazing book. First time I read it, I thought the ending was a bit disappointing, but this time I didn't. What were your thoughts, Maximilian?

The whole trilogy is great.

I thought it was amazingly prescient. Written in 1945, it was 3 years before "1984." It's prophetic in a religious sense, but it succeeds as a work of science fiction. Like most English sci-fi (e.g. Dr. Who) there's not much science in the sci-fi, but it was ahead of its time in mixing science fiction with fantasy. I think C.S. Lewis identified the real problems that we face today even better than Aldous Huxley or George Orwell, although those men were geniuses as well.
