My mother has lots of books about ghosts, the paranormal/parapsychology, and spiritual things, and right now I'm reading America's Most Haunted Neighborhood, by David Domine, and The Seven Storey Mountain, by Thomas Merton. She's kind of a Merton groupie, with lots of his books, but this is probably one of his best known, so I thought I'd start with it. What are you reading? The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Robert Ludlum: The Bourne Identity! In the first 16 pages the book is much more rewarding than the movie ever was.... :):) |

Robert Ludlum: That's usually the case. I'm watching Dune right now, but I really think I'd be better off reading the book, first. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Robert Ludlum: I agree. The movie leaves out a lot of explanation and backstory. When it first came out, many of my friends who had not read teh book(s) were confused. After they read teh books, the movie made more sense. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Robert Ludlum: Don't want to get too off topic. Have you seen the Dune three part mini series. With William Hurt as Duke Leto and Giancarlo Giannini as Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV. Then followed by a sequel "The Children of Dune" adapting the second and third books? |

I currently have The Cardinal of the Kremlin audio on my phone for when I don't want to listen to the radio while I'm driving. Actually reading is mainly trying to keep up with my magazines.

https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Money-History-Billionaires-Radical/dp/0385535597?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 This book exposes the puppet masters and shows us what inherited wealth does to some people's minds. The sense of entitlement shown by some of these lifeforms is astonishing. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists.
