Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond
One of those books that always looked interesting, but I'd never gotten around to reading. It is quite interesting. _________________

It certainly is!
I just started in Kafka's last novel The Castle. |

Sorus- That's one deer's read, I remember!
I'm reading "The Pursuit of God," by A.W. Tozer.
This is a book I attempted a few years back, thought "That would be a good anti-idolatrant," but I shrank away from!
I have an idea for a funny "Anti-Recommendation" I'd like to write for it, but... I just can't do it.
 _________________ "...'Cause if you never leave home, never let go,
You'll never make it to the great.. unknown till you...
Keep your eyes op-en, my love!
So tell me you're strong, tell me you see!
I need to hear it, can you promise me...
To.. keep your eyes open, my love!"
~NEEDTOBREATHE
"Now, if faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do. It would be like God to make the most vital thing easy and place it within the range of possibility for the weakest and poorest of us."

Currently reading a book on how to do Improv!
"Truth in Comedy: A Manual for Improvisation" by Charna Halpern and Del Close
I have been experimenting with using the ideas from the book in how I respond to the pretend-play games initiated by the 8-year-old-and-under crowd at the little church plant I go to.
Turns out that ever-popular games like "Put Ms. Linna in JAIL!" and "I throw fire on you!" are vastly improved by certain kinds of response outta me.
It's AMAZING. _________________ "...'Cause if you never leave home, never let go,

It's perfect.
Because of them, I better understand what comedians mean when they say "tough crowd tonight; tough crowd."
Back to books... I ordered an old book:
"Foundations for Reconstruction," by Elton Trueblood.
Published in 1946.
I also have out "Zen and the Art of Writing," by Bradbury. |

The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History by John M. Barry.
Probably not the best choice of reading material during the middle of a bad flu season, but it's very interesting. _________________
