Reading (2) & Listening

Well, started on that reading now. I'm reading "Northern Lights", the first in the "His Dark Materials" Trilogy by Philip Pullman. It is a very gripping book that keeps you coming back for more (or at least it has so far).

Also I have been reading "Beyond Confirmation" by Stephen Hance, which is telling me good things (although I have to go further than reading for it to be any use - I have to put them into practice, which historically I'm not good at doing with good things).

Listening wise, I recommend "Speak for Yourself" by Imogen Heap. I have had it only about a week, but have already listened to it several times. It's all good, but of particular interest is "Hide and Seek", which involves just Imogen Heap with a vocoder (and just a little overdubbing or reverb in places). It is a really special track, and almost justifies the album alone. The album does have it's subtle moments like this, but also has some more upbeat sections to fit other moods.

Right, I think that'll do for now. Take care everyone, and I'll see you all later.
