I've finally gotten "The Island Of Seven Cities" by Paul Chiasson about the ancient ruins of a Chinese settlement recently discovered on Cape Breton Island off the eastern coast of Canada, long before Columbus or the Vikings.
On more modern times, I've acquired a copy of "Fleshing Out Skull & Bones: Investigations Into America's Most Powerful Secret Society", a sort of encyclopedic volume by several prominent authors;712 pages ...oh well...I love archeology and the esoteric....

Finished The Isle book; makes me wonder how so many famous explorers could have missed so much right under their stupid noses and say they had explored and mapped the eastern coast of Canada without discovering the Chinese colony remains....
Have acquired a few more to read: The Coming China Wars by Peter Navarro; China, in its relentless attempt to modernize is starting to have problems finding oil enough for its needs; a program of short brutal wars with oil rich neighbors are being planned....and the hell with any "green" concerns.
"Blood and Religion: The Unmasking of the Jewish and Democratic State" Program to kill as many Palestinians as possible, to lessen a coming third intifada that may overwhelm Israel or cause it to use a nuclear weapon...and a copy, at long last of Graham Hancock's "Supernatural"; Meeting with the ancient teachers of mankind" his book Underworld about all the ancient cities, ruins found on ocean bottoms all over the world was just incredibly mind boggling!

... and I have just finished the "Da Vinci Code".... I was warned that I would love it... and I did, could'nt put it down, very exciting fiction, but makes one think..... there is a lot more to life than we were taught...?

Wish I could get my hands on some of the books Solitare reads... they sound very interesting.

Yes i want to start reading Angels & demons following the Da vinci code which like Smoky couldnt let go as one code leads to another. I found it really interesting even though there was o lot of controversies.

I like a book, even if its fiction, to at least be well researched, and Dan Brown does his homework well. Another of his books that is exciting to read is "Deception Point".

I enjoyed the theories of the Da Vinci Code, that dwelt on the Female Divine... makes so much sense, since the earth has declined under male religious rule in the last 2000 years?

Biography of Benjamin Franklin ... did you know he invented lots of things without thought of making money from them... merely to make people`s lives easier? .. he also started the first school for poor people`s kids to get an education.

Also busy with Tom Sawyer .... And another book of pure fiction killer/detective stuff.. not worth mentioning the title or author, apologies to the author, its just to while away the time while sitting outside having a smoke.
