I am currently reading The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The copy I am reading also contains two other short stories, Bobok, and A Nasty Story. I also started reading The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology by William Lane Craig and J. P. Moreland, eds. last week whilst waiting in Heathrow airport.

I also bought recently The Prince and The Discourses by Niccolo Machiavelli and the Bhagavad Gita, as well as Western Philosophy by David Papineau, ed. and Crusades by Thomas F. Madden, ed..

About to finally continue with Mounce's Greek. Also decided to quit How to Stop the Pain after a few chapters since it starts off and hinges on some misinterpreted Scripture and the author's own arbitrary definition of what "judgement" is, as well as a few too many times where the author contradicted himself for me to trust him.

The useful stuff in the chapters also doesn't go into enough detail to give the reader solid understanding, mostly just sound bites of advice instead, while there are other books out there that have more meat to them. The useful stuff was also stuff I already knew so I just personally don't need to read this book anyway. Nor do I really recommend because there is better stuff out there.

About to also start Recovery of Your Inner Child: The Highly Acclaimed Method for Liberating Your Inner Self
by Lucia Capacchione. Looks interesting, we'll see what happens.
