Epictetus’ Handbook and the Tablet of Cebes: Guides to Stoic Living by Keith Seddon

Probably the 6th translation of The Enchiridion that I've collected. Seddon's translation and commentary is the best I've read.

The shadow sister is one I'm still currently reading but nearly finished now, as its almost 700 pages long and its only taken me about three weeks but I was on another one called The Wake inbetween which I finished in two, so this one has taken an extra week but hey ho, I've enjoyed it and left my review to the authors distributors.

Bad Monkeys by Matt Ruff.

A young woman tells an incredible story after having been sent to the psych ward following a murder. She claims to be part of a secret agency that kills evil people who can not be redeemed, and whose continuing survival would only bring calamity.

I'm probably going to read Fire and Hemlock [by Diana Wynne Jones] AGAIN. It is one of my favourite-est books.

Look Me in the Eye by John Elder Robison. It's about the author growing up with undiagnosed Asperger's.

It was written before he stopped working for Autism Speaks.
