The title of the thread pretty well explains the purpose of the thread. Feel free to discuss anything related as well.

-----------
A couple of days ago, I got a book called Digital Painting Masters, Volume 1. It's a really intruiging book, and teaches several techniques as well as different types of paintings (matte painting, concept art, speed painting, Creature Design, and many others). It's well taught by both professional graphic designers and skilled hobbyists. You can read more here.

Let's get started.

The latest thing I finished reading must have been the manual for the game [Prototype], which was some days ago.

I regularly read Philosophy: The little book of Big ideas, despite the fact I have read it half a dozen times. It seems every time I read it, I find something new that is relevant to me and my life at the time.

As for books I've only started reading. Gods, Graveyards and Scholars. It goes through ancient history, influential figures of the past and beliefs of old civilizations. I find ancient societies fascinating. Half the books I own are about ancient history.

Ah, just yesterday I finished reading One Step Behind , an Inspector Wallander Mystery, author: Henning Mankell.

The entire series is great - you may have seen the BBC adaptations of some of the books, but the books are so worth it, definitely a must.

The book I recently read is Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran. It's when Augustus defeats Cleopatra and Mark Antony and takes their children back to Rome. Was a very good book, but I like that sort of stuff.

Well today, I discovered Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado. It was pretty intense, and I'm starting to become a fan of his writing.

When I first read that, I thought it said 'The Cast of Armadillo'

Old Wives' Tales : Factor or Folklore? 100 Popular Myths Revealed and Explained

The title is fairly self explanatory. It just goes through 100 of the most common myths and Old Wives' and either proves or disproves them.

Definitely an interesting read

Apparently, the mystery person who would on every 19th of January (his birthday) leave half of a bottle of brandy and a rose on his grave each year didn't appear this time. Nobody knows what happend to the executors of this tradition, which had been going on for the past 60 years.

That's a strange and interesting fact of the day. Smile

Just recently we got done reading a French play script by a Quebec author - Zone by Marcel Dubé (if that means anything to anyone here - not too likely).

Yes, I'm bilingual Razz

- English being my first language, of course.

@Andeavor: Interesting fact. You win an internet, thereby making your grand total 18.

I recently read a little novel called Genesis. It was definitely my best reading experience of 2010, and also one of the best novels Ive ever read.

I read A LOT actually, I love good novels Very Happy

I read a manual poorly translated from italian to english that goes to the fancy over/stove top we have. has the most complicated system for turning it off and on and changing the temperature.

I understand the need to be all fancy and complicated, but a simple on/off button rather than a 14 step process to turn off a stove top would be good IHateItPlz
