| Introduction | I currently write game guides that are published on IGN. I have written one Harvest Moon guide for BradyGames. I read the following: mythology, philosophy, history, historical novels, fantasy/science fiction, murder mysteries (no political thrillers, please!) and some political analysis. I am working on a book that deals with comparative mythology and symbolism and covers NEW ground (or rather recovers lost ground) if possible. |
