Book

If you want to write well, you must read great authors.

Books I'm Reading

• For study: Origin of the Bible and Scorpiace
• For devotion: Cloud of Unknowing
• For fun: I was reading The Coming Race and Mother of Learning for fun, but one is just...stupid tbh and I have no idea how anyone took it seriously, especially enough to form Nazi Germany or whatever and influence so many conspiracy theorists and the other has way too annoying a protagonist. Honestly, I'm not reading anything fun right now.
