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....

That's usually the case. I'm watching Dune right now, but I really think I'd be better off reading the book, first.

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.

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?

No, that's getting ahead of myself, ;~).

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

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.

I love The New Yorker, so I understand.

Very good book. Just finished reading Brigitte Gabriel's "Because they hate".

Destroyer of Worlds!

I have been waiting to read this one.
The World of Ptavvs needs more stories....

Old enough to know better(but)still young enough not to care

Rabbit is Rich, by John Updike.

It's one in a series of novels about the psychology of growing up, and all the problems we face as adults.

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.
