Finished the The NeverEnding Story for the first time, followed by The Montauk Project - Experiments In Time. 

Currently re-reading Faust: Part One. Absolutely love Goethe. Makes even the devil himself such a delectable character.

Mephistopheles:
I speak the modest truth, I use no art.
Let foolish little human souls
Delude themselves that they are wholes.
I am part of that part which once, when all began,
Was all there was, part of the Darkness before man
Whence light was born, proud light, which now makes
  futile war
To wrest from Night, its mother, what before
Was hers, her ancient place and space. For light depends
On the corporeal worlds--matter that sends
Visible light out, stops light in its stride
And by reflected light is beautified.
So, light will not last long, I fear;
Matter shall be destroyed, and light shall disappear.

Tell me about the Montauk Project! Wasn’t this based on an actual experiment by the military?

Interestingly enough, this video came up in my Youtube feed when I was searching for stuff on DIY synth mods, before ordering the book and reading it on a whim. Preston Nichols (the heavyset man in the video) goes into detail about his work as a recording engineer and his involvement in the Montauk project at the Air Force base on Long Island. The book basically explains the continuation of the Philadelphia Experiment (WWII era tech) into the Montauk Project (70s, 80s tech) that went deeper into experiments involving time travel, manipulating space/time and making objects appear and disappear with a chair/room they developed over the years, and eventually the termination of the project because Duncan and a few others thought the researchers were tampering with the fabric of space/time too much and created/released a "monster" on the base so they would just end the damn thing. It's basically the same premise for which the show Stranger Things is based on. Interesting stuff to read about, but there's no hard evidence to back any of it up, just a bunch of personal testimony. In fact you might get more out of watching the video, as far as credibility and believably goes. There is a lot of information presented from an electrical engineers perspective as fas the design and layout of the "chair" they used for the experiments. Apparently they just picked up thousands of homeless kids and derelicts off the streets in NY to use for the experiments and would just "lose" them somewhere/when in hyperspace. s*** does get kind of crazy the more the book goes into detail about the experiments in the 80s. Maybe worth the read if it interests you, but again, it's all soft evidence, so take it with a grain of salt.
