this week I have been mostly reading
Brinner
The basic thrust of the book is that Chinese sailors actually circum
navigated the world and discovered the Americas and Australia well before
the Europeans explorers. It was a Christmas present from my sister as it
happens and so far is a really good read, about 100 pages in. One for the
history buffs among you.
On an unrelated note, I finally saw Blade: Trilogy last night. Still don't
know if I liked it that much. There simply wasn't enough violence.

No. I sm not reading fantasy until Knife of Dreams comes out, or maybe
Feast of Crows, whichever comes first.

[J] I've seen that at the shops, but never picked it up. Can you give
a short run-down of what backing does he offer for his case? I'm
fairly sure that's the same period in time that Chinese monks had
contact with Africa, but I haven't yet seen any concrete evidence for
links with America.

Well the 3rd is much much better. I liked the second more than the
first too. The 4th is even better. The guy evidently learns from his

Interestingly, my UK settings in MSWord don't break it up into two
words. But that's because it spelt it nonsense.
None Sense also works.

This is the thing about history. I just don't get what on earth would
make these dudes wander thru a continent. I really don't. Were most of
them like "C'mon, could we just stop already? These look like nice
parts, we could live here!" And then the biggest and meanest said "No!
Urgh think it gets better as we go south" and they just had this
discussion every couple of weeks. And then they all found themselves in
the southern tip of Argentina and died. And just before he died, the
last one says "well, california could have been nice" and died?

I'll quote my book, since it doesn't give an awful explanation. (More
later, after class).
"The style of life and level of technology of the Paleolithic period
could support only a sparsely settled society. If hunters were too
numerous, game would not suffice. In Paloelithic times, people were
subjects to the same natural and ecological constraints that today
maintain a balance between wolves and deer in Alaska."
They didn't have tools that would allow them to build decent
settlements and farming tools till the Neolithic era (10,000 years
ago), so they wandered from place to place, wherever there was food
enough for any given tribe or group of people.

The Acts of Caine, as I call them (Heroes Die, Blade of Tyshalle, and
