"Illustrated Life of Jesus: A Visual Retelling of His Amazing Story" - by Herschel H. Hobbs.

The title is self-explanatory. I've only read a couple of chapters, thus far, but, it's really nice. Being a very visual person, I LOVE all the maps, and tables, and things----and, especially, when it informs me of what a country / area / town / whatever was called then, and now.

The Metamorphosis And Other Stories, by Franz Kafka.

Kafka's best known work, The Metamorphosis, along with some of his short fiction in which the absurd meets the bizarre. So far, pretty good stuff.

I've read Metamorphosis. Found it quite upsetting actually, but very good nonetheless. Been meaning to find more of Kafka's stories.

Google Play offers all of them as one compilation for less than 5 dollars. If you prefer the German version then you can get the complete works for <$2. His work is truly fascinating

presumed you can pay that way, so: generalised everybody has the income to pay bankcards?

Thanks for your recommendation! I often forget it's there but Google play seems to have surprisingly good resources for books. I've been angling to get more classics into my system of late. I often find free pdf versions of these books online; managed to read Animal Farm this way. It's usually either that or yet more literature gets sucked into my Kindle.

You're more than welcome! I hope you will find some good offers. Well, my Google books app is full of compilations that i purchased for less than 3 dollars each. It is so much that i am already aware that i will never be able to finish them within one lifetime.

I just finished reading A Sword In Darkness by Thomas A. Mays, it got me really pumped to try out some more designs in Children of a Dead Earth and to learn math so I can one day accurately draft designs for ships and weapons of my own for fun. Next I'm going to be reading Hegemony, it's about fighters in space, the main twist being that they're controlled by human minds uploaded onto the computers of drones. Gets rid of all the excessive bulk and weight of a fighter with a protein-based pilot sitting in a cockpit without having the disadvantages of weak AI or remote control.

For my summer class, I am currently reading Ralph Ellison's novel The Invisible Man.
