Finished reading for the 6th time Stanislaw Lem’s “Fiasco”. The novel deals with an attempt to communicate with an alien race after traveling to their home system, which as the title suggests, won’t go well. Lem throws some interesting concepts about the development of intelligent species, and the means of interstellar travel are well developed even if they’re SF and probably will never be real… ---

I’m trying to find the Apollo Decision-Table Matrix Figure that I posted that is possibly removed from the forums as other interference seems to have also intended to remove it from my hardware system, and the current version of the 2nd edition of the book that I have, ### [Systems analysis & design methods Jeffrey L. Whitten, Lonnie D. Bentley, Victor…](https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/6437543?q&sort=holdings+desc&_=1548689579451&versionId=182032991) doesn’t seem to have that diagram image in the book, but rather some other articles instead. Also, the book had a short description of a chapter or so, accompanying the figure , describing the different choices related to it. I’m sure that it was published in that edition, because I managed to retrieve it from it before, and it I then published it on the EVE forums . It would also help to make it easier to find by putting tags in it. #Apollo #Matrix #Constraint #Decision-Making Table – The next time I retrieve it from the edition again, from another version, I will save it on Read-Only mode, and pay $55 to register copyright for it, with my own description, as well as my own take on the art. ---

I abandoned reading LOTR:TTT at 60%, because the part with Sam, Frodo and Gollum were boring me to tears. The book wasn’t bad, but that part was unbearable. One of the things it helped was curing me of my being burnt out of reading TDF series. I am currently reading Jim Bucher’s third book of The Dresden Files series; Grave Peril. People who recommended it to me were right by saying it gets better and better with each book. I’m moving through it with ease so much that…I’m currently 44% through it.

91% through and it is hella exciting. > [@Jeremiah\_Saken](#): > > Edit: Maybe time has come to refresh Dune and Foundation? IIRC I said I stopped reading them at some point in the past. Now I’m focused solely on The Dresden Files series. I haven’t dropped Titan yet. I’m still 22% through it, but it is at the boring parts and hard to read.

Doing trilogy from Hobbit was nuts (130 pages movel?), but there are boring parts, as I called it “nature descriptions”, from LoTR that makes them uninterested. Descriptions of marshes etc. Movies have certain tempo. I watched all 3 in 4 hours versions ( in one sitting) long time ago and never go back to them again tho. ---

The poll I set up went unnoticed. Oh well, I’ll choose MM then. * * * ![amazon-kindle-3](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/a/b/7/ab7e062fa98b7f63958e16817ba5367a83d23223.jpeg) This is the device I’m still using since 2011 to read books in case you guys were wondering. The screen got replaced back in 2015 due to getting cracked from carrying the device under my arm while walking. The battery is so worn out that even the software can’t correctly detect the level of charge. In its prime it took 2 hours to charge, but now it only takes 15 minutes. The battery runs low only after 100 pages of reading intead of originally lasting for 4 weeks of occasional use. The interesting part is once the battery software warns the kindle will shut down because of low battery, it lasts 300 pages of reading in that state until it shuts itself down. I opened the back to see whether the battery is bulged or not and I sighed in relief when I saw it wasn’t. I’m 26% through Summer Knight, the 4th book in Dresden Files series. This is the book that takes the series off the ground exponentially. The first 3 were gradually getting good but this one is the real deal.
