    I'm a visual person as many of you know. I enjoy creating info-graphics on the computer. I tend to think in pictures more so than in written and spoken words. I suspect that some of it is a result of a mild case of auditory dyslexia. If someone reads me a list of numbers such as an address or a phone number, I have a tendency to write down the numbers in reverse order. To complicate things, I'm left handed so I'll drag the heal of my hand over atrocious reverse order handwriting and smear the ink. This makes me a terrible telemarketer or fundraiser. All of this considered, I'm excellent at reading scripted material out loud in front of large groups of people. I guess this is one of the reasons that I've been able to serve rather favorably as a Deacon of the Church.

    :wacky: Anyway—I'm a visual person and here is one of my favorite books.

    Yup, being a leftie has some drawbacks. That is why I don't use a fountain pen :D

    Well, if you liked Azincourt, you'll love the Grail Quest series.

    Me too. They didn't prepare me for the TV series with Sean Bean in those trousers though.

    I've been in a bad mood so I've been rereading The Green Mile by Stephen King to cheer up.

    As you did not tell us what they are I assume they are the Indian versions of post #41.

    FYI they are Tibetan Buddhist monastic text books... Well one is the diamond ritual of generation yoga and the other smaller one is call the diamond cutter sutra.

    I listen to acoustic guitar blues when I'm in a bad mood. It really helps.

    Yes I do. It is a good read. I have gone back and re-read several sections. It has several sections on the history of coins in Egypt and it also has sections that examine specific hoards in some detail. It provided a good background on the coins and it provided more information for me on my Dattari collection coin in that it provides some details as to the makeup of some hoards as to ruler and time period.

    Deacon I write left handed but shoot & everything else right hand. I'm also dyslexic, over the years I've learned to read a book as well as the next guy as long as I read to myself. Outloud someone would think I'm illiterate, I sure can't spell. I have to double check my writing especially numbers I tend to foul that up quite a bit.
