12. THE POWER OF HABIT- Charles Duhigg
POH was a great read; I'd recommend it to just about anyone, but especially to people looking to make significant changes in their lives. Duhigg is masterful at using stories to illustrate scientific underpinnings.
Normally I'm not a huge short story fan as well, but that one I really enjoyed. Pop Art is probably my favorite short story ever.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I had a hard time really getting into Horns at first. It felt so heavy and I just hated all of the people. I guess it took me getting to a certain point in the story before being hooked and feeling completely invested in the story. It pulled the rug out from under me, to be honest.
I tried reading 20th Century Ghosts a while back, but couldn't get into it.
I should give it another go one day. I don't know though. It just seemed so dark and disturbing for me, rather than scary.

It was ok but not the level of RP1. It's a bit like The Last Starfighter mashed up with another story (that would give away the ending). I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
my list is short so far as i took a break from reading for a few months. for this year?
1. A Spell for Chameleon: Piers Anthony. Technically i started it last year at some point, i forget when and i lost interest in it and start reading "The Pusher" by Ed Mcbain a book i haven't finished yet either. i think i got burnt out by reading at that point so i stopped. so last week i picked up on a whim A Spell For Chameleon and finished it, i only had like i said elsewhere like 67 pages i think? i had only 3 chapters left so i finished it. and i'd count the one i'm reading now which is From Potters Field by Patrica Cornwell but i'm only #110 pages into it. and i'm not done with it so i can't count it just yet.

I've been struggling with Sand. I've been reading it forever. If I don't finish soon, I might just call it a loss and start reading something else.

Oh, that's right! I do remember you sending the picture of it. Maybe it's written by the versions of us on a different level of the tower?
