What are you reading these days?
I’m on page 116 of ESSAYS WHAT DO WOMEN WANT? by Erica Jong. I read it in 1998 when it first came out, and now again in its revised form. I like the way she writes; she gets the reader to think a little differently. She doesn’t just dance around the surface when she writes. She gets deep down dirty, and digs up everything about the subject she’s writing about – oftentimes about things most writers missed, or wouldn’t/couldn’t touch. Clearly she’s done her homework in order to write with this level of insightful abandonment.
And I’m reading ESSENTIAL SPIRITUALITY recommended by “physicist-turned-futurist Peter Russell.” Ode Magazine March 2009 had a write-up about him. It was impressive so I checked out his website: www.peterrussell.com That too is impressive, and it was there that I decided to get one of the books he’s listed on his website, ESSENTIAL SPIRITUALITY by Roger Walsh, M.D.,PhD. Perhaps you’ll want to read it; it’s simply written, and the author shares with us the path he’s traveled in his quest for spiritual knowledge. It’s not stuffy; it’s wonderful reading.
And I’m reading one page every so often of Total Freedom by J. Krishnamurti. What can one say about him? Is he in a class by himself? It seems so. I have to absorb what he says in small doses because he says so much in such a simple way. No need to read it as though reading a novel.
A NEW EARTH by Eckhart Tolle is a book I want by my side so that I can open any page in the book and appreciate his words. It’s an Aha kind of book.
I’m listening now to Blessed Always AGAPE CHANT ANTHOLOGY. Any time is a good time to listen to these CD’s. They grab the soul.
Have a beautiful day.
