    52 weeks a year, with a hope to read 104 books per-year. But, I like to read books that the author has been dead for like 10 years. Just not really into chap books.

    I have decided to leave the guild for an indefinite period of time, long story short I have issues with depression that I need to focus on dealing with.

    * The Atlas of Middle-Earth by J.R.R. Tolkien

    Well, it's less of a story, and more of a "Geographic book of Tolkien's fantasy world" but, eh, why not?
    "In the eyes of some, you were the messiah, in others, the destroyer of worlds and end of all things. Your doctrine drips down the fabric of time like legend and seeps into the fates of generations you﻿ never touched. The legacy of your actions ricochet in the darkest halls of history, a ceaseless echo of all you have done, all you will do, and all you never did. Now it has come, the time to look back as you walk away and remember what you were, what you've never been, and what you've become."
