Excellent !
Read that book - for over three decades...
till I have found myself an actual Steppenwolf !
Bought the book, so many times, on Ebay.
So many sentences underlined.

Reading a wild book right now - ' The Adam and Eve Syndrome ' by Roy Masters !

Also finished " Relentless " Malmsteen - what a quick read - he's a fun guy.
Didn't like how it ended, like he's all about money and popularity
and his ever constant goddess wife and spoiled brat quiet prodigy kid.
Also , how so many studio recordings he's doing now,
sound like ( by reading his book) a diced spliced and prearranged microwave dinner.
When a hired singer adds a " oh yeah " into the song, Malmsteen gets super angry !

I'm only about halfway through it, but I can already say it's probably gonna become one of my favorite books. Something about it resonates with me a ton. It has made me reevaluate what I hold dear and made me question what kind of person I want to be. That kind of stuff is what literature's for, I think.

Song of Ice and Fire....again. started the Series a long time ago, but stopped reading them after I finished book four. I was going to wait till he finished them and read them all again, but figured I'd re-acquaint myself with them now and hope a new one comes out by the time I read all of them.

The Devil - by Giovanni Papini...
First edition...1954....translated from the Italian.
There's a quote in the introduction of the book that's interesting...
" Where God is most present, there also is His enemy " Graham Greene
Also....in the introduction...
" Evil is only the shadow cast by the Good, in its perfection...
And one day we shall come to understand even the shadow "

Reading:
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green
The Song of Roland translated by C.K. Scott Moncrieff

BTW, I know a lot of our metal musicians love to write songs about fantasy heroes. Can you guys recommend any good songs in the genre about Arthur or Roland?
