The Great ;Book of Amber, by Roger Zelazny. I had to live through RZ writing each book (TEN OF THEM) one at a time as they were published. Almost drove me sane.

I am reading "The Lost Ways", a book by author Claude Davis, about how to live autonomously and self-sufficiently in a modern environment. The book focuses on educating readers about traditional and independent living skills that people have used in the past to survive and succeed.

Re: What books are you currently reading?
I'm just getting started on Sea of Tranquility: A novel, by Emily St. John Mandel. So far it hasn't really grabbed my interest, but I'll give it more time and see if things pick up.

In fact, I got this love for reading books from my father. If you have the same and if you're looking for book recommendations, I can suggest Xlibris reviews. Let me know if you're interested!

Pros and Cons
Pros:
Rich historical context surrounding the Vietnam War.
Strong, relatable female characters and friendships.
Emotional depth highlighting PTSD and personal struggles.
Vivid descriptions of war scenes.
Impressive character development of Frankie McGrath.

The pacing may feel uneven for some readers.
Some characters lacked in-depth development.
Predictable romance elements might irritate some fans.

The Gospels Behind the Gospels by Robert M. Price.
It's very dense and it's a bore. I regret buying it.
