Just finished The History of Cannibalism by Nathan Constantine. Bought it a Half Price Bookstore. Interesting and dark topic. The practice of ancient cannibalism arose in parts of the Carribeans, North America, South America (especially the Aztecs), Pacific Islands, Africa (which was said to once had a human meat market, and still had issues with cannibalism during civil wars in the 90's), China, and some pagan parts of Europe. Had a hard time putting it down, though the last few chapters were very disturbing, once it moved out of cultural and ancient cannibalism towards modern serial killers. When it comes to some of the details, there are some discrpenancies, and even some bias, between the book and other sources. But overall, I thought it was an interesting read.

Also, I'm almost finished with Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius.

I'm reading this thread

I am reading a book called Smokeout by S.V. Date. Suppose to be fiction but it's all about crooked politicians and sleazy lobbyist so it reads more like the daily news.

I'm not reading any fiction right now but I did finish up Dean Koontz's Frankenstein trilogy last week. I don't usually care for Koontz but this was an excellent story. Dr. Frankenstein is the source of evil and not his creation just like it should be. However, I am reading the following:
