I recently started reading the Harry Potter books, a christmas gift from a couple of years ago, and after finishing the first two I moved on to read a book suggested by a different friend, How to Know God”. I’ve found that book interesting thus far, but the jury is still out on whether or not I like it, hopefully I”ll get around to writing about it here. Getting back to my origial point I decided to pick up something fictional to read along side How to Know god and not wanting to pick up the third Potter book yet, I decided to go back to something I’d heard of a long time ago that got mentioned recently at work.

I’d run across Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom in the past, probably through /. or Creative Commons or somewhere like that, but had never gotten around to reading it. I’d heard lots of good things about it and like the idea/purpose behind the book as well. I’ll save you my overly detailed recounting of the book and my underqualified opinion of it’s author’s statement in licensing it with a Creative Commons license and leave it that it’s an interesting read. Sci-Fi without being too far out there. A very human and compeling story, well worth the price/read.
