I'm currently writing up a thesis of my theory, so most of my reading is reference.
Catechism of the Catholic Church The Elegant Universe- Brian Greene, pouring through it a second time. The Confessions of St. Augustine The City of God Against the Pagans - St. Augustine Selected Philosophical Writings - St. Thomas Aquinas I ordered off of Amazon a while ago: The Illusion of Conscious Will The Problem of the Soul The Complete Works of Shakespeare... Gotta get some leisure in there somewhere. |

and "Flatland" by Edwin A. Abbott. I recommend this if you’re into nerdy dimensional stuff. |

Entertaining, capturing, inspiring soul teaser
Piddler on the Hoof by SI Fishgal - history through the potent fiction, entertaining, capturing, inspiring.
The derisive living truth and death emotionally awake a Jewish preschooler in the Red Army's Rearguard during the WW2. "Damn good soul teaser," wrote Barnes & Noble's reviewer. "No fruitless illusions, impractical fantasies and daydreamers. It's life, death, humor and true emotions. Coolest book on hottest topics, rich, vivid, fascinating, stimulating and gripping novel." http://piddler-on-the-hoof.8m.com/ |
Would you,
Could You, Spam I am? |
Hhmm
Well, you guys read alot deeper material than I do.
I'm reading The Dark Tower V : Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. |
Mary Roach's Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers
It's a non-fiction work about all the stuff that can happen to a cadaver. It manages to be respectful and humorous, which is surprising considering the subject matter. One of the best things I've read in a while. |
I saw a discovery channel documentary about the history of using cadavers for medical study. In England, it seems there was a shortage of cadavers and two gentlemen (I don't recall their names) actually went out and "made" cadavers for a local medical professor. First, they started out with local homeless guys and then progresses to whomever was available and eventually got caught.

They were called Burke & Hare. British entrepreneurial spirit at its best.

I finished Battle Royale a while back
I am currently reading Catch -22 (someone else said this) |
Now I'm in the middle of both Satan Speaks and the Devil's Notebook by Anton LaVey. They're both pretty short, but I don't have time to sit down and read these days. :(

Ahh, nothing like a warm fire with a nice hot, herbal tea whilst curling up with Lucifer. :love

The reconciliation between science and religion, especially during the Rennaisance Period, has always intrigued me. This is a pretty fast-paced, in-depth and compelling read for those that are interested in the chronology of the earth and how it was arrived at from both the scientific and theological perspectives (see review below):
