If I remember correctly, the book Druss the Legend covered the life of Druss up to the death of his friend Sieban, however it skipped from shortly after Druss finally found Rowena to the final invasion of Drenai where Sieban died.
This book covers a period after the recovery of Rowena, before finally skipping to a time after Sieban's death to cover the death of Druss.
Druss has always been an interesting character to me. Someone who does right without understanding why, only knowing that it is right. Someone who isn't deterred by the impossible.
Born in Death
Author: J.D. Robb
Genre: Futuristic Detective?
Finished: May 3, 2007
J.D. Robb (a pen name for Nora Roberts) is prolific, that is for sure. This is another installment in an ongoing series starring Eve Dallas. A bit of light reading.
Mavis has her baby in this book, there is a murder (as usual, Eve is a detective in the Homicide division of NYPSD, New York Police and Security Department, after all), a kidnapping, Eve and her husband Roark fight, then make up. However, they do seem to be learning, as it doesn't take them half the book to make up anymore.

I wanted a nice mental break yesterday, so I re-read the final episode of the Jon Shannow novels. At least, I think it is the final episode. Another great read by David Gemmell. Confusion, chaos, certainty, indecision and death.

Juggling: From Start to Star
Author: Dave, Dorothy and Ben Finnigan
Genre: Hobbies?
An instruction manual that teaches juggling with scarves, balls, clubs and rings, various patterns, as well as devil sticks and diabolo. It seems to be quite a good book, that succinctly describes a variety of techniques.
It doesn't mention how long learning things takes. In a couple of pages they describe 3 ball cascade juggling. That took me 3 weeks. I've been working on clubs for months now.
Note: Apparently Dave Finnigan wrote another book about juggling that is quite biblical in it's scope. Probably a good thing if you have a couple of basic techniques down and are looking to expand your repitoir.
