Latest Update and Book Review

I need to stop worrying about my parents so much, they have their lives and as much as I want to I can't help them, all I'm doing is being dragged down with them. I need to stop thinking that the world would fall apart without me because there's nothing I could do about it anyway. My fears of leaving my mother alone are the main reason i haven't moved away yet, I can see that. And guess what? My mother sorted it out anyway, and would have whether I liked it or not. I need to live my own life.

Right. Now I need to bring myself to believe all this.

Where I got the idea I'm self-centered, I'll never know.

In other news, I've just finished reading 'The Man with the Iron Heart' by Harry Turtledove, an alternate history book with a great premise- What if Reinhardt Heydrich had survived the assasination attempt and led a terrorist resistrance against the occupying allied armies. Like all of Turtledove's books, the premise is great, the execution is realistic, there's a nice use of mitigating factors that keep it at once true-to-life and interesting, and it's painfully clear that he's really not a very good writer.
