Dead Men's Secrets by Jonathan Gray,

an archaeologist who reveals that archaelogy in no way backs the story of men progressing upwards from the ape, but rather taht there was nothing then all of a sudden, civilizations more technologically advanced than we are today and that man kind is actully devoulving, sort of running down.

Just finished The Thirteen and a Half Lives of Captain Bluebear (Walter Moers), moving onto Shadow of the Scorpion (Neal Asher). I love Neal Asher's books, he either has an amazing ability to spin ludicrously complicated plots in advance or he's a master of the ret-con, or more likely both at once.

Hi Bobster, did you find that the first book was the best book ever written, but each following book seemed less full, seeming to concentrate too much on just one particular point that the auther was trying to get across.

Much is still left unaswered at the end such as all the build-up and propiesies of Richard being a War Wizard that never reaches fruition?

I did feel that after the first book of the series, Goodkind made each book after that more of a chapter, focused on one problem, each one leading up to the last chapter of the book, which was the last book, Confessor.

Those are the only words I can think of to explain why I'm so disappointed I am becoming as I begin to near the end of the final novel. It is as if the whole series is a single book, and that book should have a sequel, because there is just too much that seemed to have been promised to the readers that never actually came to be.

I get books out and I never read them. Flip through look at a couple pages and that's it. I just get annoyed feeling having to be that focused.
I read short articles. No books are so long. I don't have the patience.
My daughter is 11 and she reads really thick books- like an adult in a day and night. I can't understand how come aspies can be so different/ I needed help with learning to read. My sis told me the other day 'she remembers the teacher asking her can you teach your sis colors and to help her read books.

I wish I did have more patience to read.
