Re-Reading The Iron Dawn Novel it's a fantasy novel set 10 years after the siege of Troy, it's following a trio of mercenaries trying to stop a necromancer from taking the city of Tyre. I like this book because despite being a fantasy novel, it's pretty gritty and grounded. Note though if profanity, violence and sexual innuendo isn't your thing, I would avoid it because there is a fair amount of it and not all the sex is vanilla in nature.

Keith Richards' (auto) biography. He's the ultimate rock-'n'-roll star. If you ever decide to read some rock-'n'-roll biography he's the guy who fully lived it.
Quotes of interest: "Al Green, Little Richard, Solomon Burke, they all got ordained. Preaching is tax free. Very little to do with God, a lot to do with money." "There’s nobody in my family that ever had anything to do with organized religion. None of them. I had a grandfather who was a red-blooded socialist, as was my grandmother. And the church, organized religion, was something to be avoided. Priests would be considered with much suspicion. See a bloke in a black frock, cross the road. Mind out for the Catholics, they’re even dodgier. They had no time for it. Thank God, otherwise Sundays would have been even more boring than they were. We never went to church, never even knew where it was."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
I turn to non fiction again, this time it's "The Straight Girl's Guide to Sleeping with Chicks" by Jen Sincero.
What can I say, I always wondered how straight girls get some pussy, and, mind you, this book was written by an acclaimed NYT bestselling author of "You Are a Badass" series of books. So this is what I found out: Alcohol is a gateway drug to sleeping with members of the same sex. Hmm, makes sense. Because you're a chick dealing with other chicks, you have the curious straight girls all access backstage pass. You automatically gain entry to saunas, group showers, dressing rooms, and a host of other intimate settings where women are not only off their guard, but naked. You have a coveted VIP pass. And if you have a bottle of vodka in your hand, the deal is sealed. Oh well, just one more paragraph of tips 1. Host a slumber party slash kegger at your sorority house, complete with beer bong and group sleeping area. 2. Get a game of twister going at your next pool party. 3. Suggest that the bride-to-be model all her new lingerie at your next bridal shower. 4. Take pole dancing lessons with your hot friends. 5. Hire a female stripper at your next bachelorette party. 6. Play truth or dare with your friends in a hot tub. 7. Ask for help unzipping your dress in the locker room. 8. Get a bikini wax from a hot chick. I want her face to be very close to my butthole when I propose let's get a coffee. 9. Instigate a game of spin the bottle at your next girl's night out.

Up to John. Almost finished with the Bible. Would probably go faster if I wasn't reading a sci-fi or horror novel between each book of the Bible.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
Coming To Light - Brian Swan. Possibly the collection of native american literature in contemporary translation.
