It has been almost four years since I read the original published version of this story an I wish I was able to go back and read it again to see the differences. Having read every story in this world and the subsequent spin the off worlds, it was great to revisit the beginning. Lukian is basically the father of all the other immortal ops and many of the outcast. When he mates with Peren, she basically gives him the strength to continue with what he is doing. Again, this story was and still is a great set up for the books to follow.

I take a number of nootropics like piracetam, and this has been very useful in maintaining appropriate levels of acetylcholine. This is important in preventing headaches associated with these classes of supplements. May not be very useful for you if you're not on some form of nootropic therapy.

I didn't realize they were a two piece seat cover, but it actually makes it a better cover. I have two dogs and plenty of dirt, mud, sand in my truck, they keep it off the seats. Install was a breeze, and they look sharp.

My grandsons favorite character and now his favorite costume . He wears it when he watches Paw Patrol almost every time.

Rick Steve's book on Rome 2012 was by far the best travel book I brought along. Information was easy to find--such as key phrases to just get around. The tone is one of good natured humor mixed with good solid advice. It never speaks down to the reader, but consistently builds admiration, patience, and pure enjoyment of Rome and Romans. For instance, I found it so helpful that right off the bat it says that Americans either love or hate Rome, depending to the extent they bring their local expectations with them. That was absolutely true. Once I let go my personal concept of courtesy, how to stand in line, how to drive properly, (and even how to friggin' name your streets!), everything became magical. The book really encourages adopting basic Italian phrases and makes it plain fun and simple. And true to its point, I did find Italians warmed to my attempts and were eager to meet me more than half way. The bottom line is that the book helps open the door that we all want to go through anyway--that's why we're traveling to Rome in the first place! While visiting the Palatine ruins, I accidentally left my Rick Steves book on a bench when I went to take a picture. I remembered it 5 minutes later and the book was gone. Hopefully helping other American tourists enjoy one of the most incredible cities on earth.

I always enjoy Ronson's work and The Elephant in the Room showcases all of his trademark humor, storytelling ability and insight.
