And then the Beast read this and said, "Oooooooooooo! More information! Und zis iz gut too!!" Ah, yes, more 'type' info, to better understand my 'internal psychological processes'. I even guessed how it would come out before I did the survey question thingy ;) . And the description of the 'type' works perfectly to describe what I was doing in visiting the site (someone from work went to a day long class on this New and Improved version [ ;) ] of personality typing, and made me curious, imagine that).
CURRENT STUDIES/INTERESTS/ETC.
CURRENTLY READING:
See list below if pics do not come up
God's holy book (often called in English-speaking lands The Bible)*, and...
THE Bible by God (with the assistance (re: dictation) of many scribes, prophets, graduate assistants (of a sort) and (of course) pastoral interns
Realizing Human Rights: Moving From Inspiration to Impact edited by Samantha Powers and Graham Ellison, of (among other things) the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
Foreign Policy magazine
How to Learn Any Language: Quickly, Easily, Inexpensively, Enjoyably and on Your Own by Barry M. Farber (and it's even a fun/humorous/enjoyable read! Found a brother-linguist)
don't waste your life by John Piper - speaking of joy!! :)
Good News About Injustice by Gary Haugen - the pres of the International Justice Mission
The Art & Science of Fencing by Nick Evangelista - re-reading this one 'cause it's been a while, it's an enjoyable read (thanks Mark (Kovacs)!!), and eventually *sigh* I hope to fence again :) This is a great intro/overview book for people interested in fencing or just starting to fence. And then there's his more recent book: 
The Inner Game of Fencing, also excellent and, as implied by title, gets more in depth into the mental process of this 'physical chess'
Teach Yourself Turkish by Asuman C,elen Pollard + David Pollard - hopefully back to regular study and this is an excellent book for review, following, of course, Farber's (above) advice to use several types of lang learning tools including dictionary, phrase book, and actual newspapers (also should have an audio program, but may try the radio stations)
Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki - yes, Tim, I'm taking your advice. This bk is in narrative form so it's a more interesting read than I expected and definitely encourages a different tack at financial issues than I'm used to, from a man who literally started making money at the age of 9, until his father told him it was illegal (you may want to reread that if you didn't get the 'illegal' part).

Below was commentary from last year.
I currently have way too many books out of the Uni library - so much to read, so little time; my desire to learn is starting to get overwhelming. Make it stop! ;) Have to start finishing things now!
It may be foolish, but I've taken a little hiatus from studying Turkish to finish a paper (ish - you'd think it was a dissertation with the way I'm dealing with it) on Mustafa Kemal Ataturk as an agent in the formation of Turkish identity. Gotta get back into the lang study full force soon. (like now! 4/2005)
SEEKING: local chapter of Fencers Anonymous for those of us who can't afford the equipment or the time but who are going nuts without it! (especially since I'm presently in Buffalo and there is a Classical Fencing club here!!!!!)
For a longer story (aka. my random thoughts on life, etc) you may continue.
Some random pictures and/or check out my yahoo photo albums that I've just started. First one is mostly Grant (my nephew, in case I haven't talked your ear off about him yet) w/the rest of the fambly in supporting roles ;)
