First of all, it must be said right off that this is not a book about trading. Soros is most famous in the financial markets for his managing of the Quantum Fund and making a billion shorting the Pound in the 90s when the currency broke from the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) which was in place then as a precursor to the eventual Euro introduction. Anyone coming in with the authors trading/investing history in mind thinking he might talk about that type of thing in this book is going to be disappointed. While he does mention events like this and others for which he is famous - or notorious, depending on your viewpoint - neither trading nor the markets are the focus of this book.The Age of Fallibility is at its core as much a philosophical treatise as an exploration of global affairs. Soros has a pretty well developed world view and philosophy. His `reflexivity approach to events (markets and otherwise) has been expressed in his earlier books, and is further refined in this one. That is the part of the book which will appeal to traders and investors, as it helps to explain how he looks at the larger movement of markets and how predictable patterns of behavior can be seen. For those who like to take a big picture view of things, it is definitely something worth reading.As for the remainder of the book, that is a combination of explaining open society, exploring global politics, and attacking Americas foreign policy, as the title would imply (though no major global player is left out of the discussion or immune from criticism). If you are an open-minded sort then you will find Soros views very interesting. In particular, I found his discussion on the concept of the war on terror very interesting.No matter what you think of Soros or his politics (and many folks rightly or wrongly have a negative view of him), the fact of the matter is the man has a perspective on things few can offer based on his experience operating his various organizations. As such, he is definitely someone to whom we should at least listen. If you can do that, I guarantee hell have you thinking at several points in the text. If not, then this may not be a book youll want to read.I personally started the book wondering if the arrogance I found in his earlier market focused books would be apparent in this one too, but I found it wasnt. The style was very engaging throughout and what he had to say thought provoking. If thats what you look for in a current events type of book, then you will like this one, all the more for the fact that though the book was written in 2006, it has enough of a macro scope to it to make the subject matter still quite meaningful now in 2008.

Day 2 of my personal comic week.
I think spring has now really arrived, so I opened the outdoor season inside with my favorite ice cream. It´s still too cold outside to eat ice cream.

In the morning of the next day, the heroes are informed of the murder and theft happening the night before.
Prior to showing up at the place, Kerrick opens himself up to Thana. In secret, away from the others, he admits to the crime, but claims his actions were controlled by Pazuzu (a kind of partial truth).
"Pazuzu cannot watch me here in your abode, only entities you allow in can go here. Please do not speak of this outside. Do not alert Pazuzu."
Thana accepts.
Then Shiel and his friends visit the place of the crime. They ask around what happened (guards were killed, a magical item was stolen), and inquire if they can be of any help. The investigation is led by Helm, assisted by Tyr, but help is very welcome.
Most of the people here have not seen Kerrick together with the group, so Thana decided it would be best if he stayed behind. Especially since the object stolen was a mask in the form of a beak.
Nimue remarks: "As you said, this was a very violent intrusion. This man, however, has died of fear." With the revelation of the artifact, Nimue is pretty sure Kerrick is responsible, too.
