^ I've heard a lot of people talk about that book, but never that it was the greatest ever. I'm not doubting that many people do, just that I think it's one of those that split opinion - even if the reader has a certain respect or admiration for it.

This, however, was recommended very highly. I've been hearing lots about it for the past few years but it was Jordan Peterson placing it as his #1 recommend book (with regards to his intellectual development) that finally pushed me to start listening to it.

I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. But I'm not far enough into it to give any kind of verdict.

The Thick Of It: The Missing DoSAC Files

Basically an addendum to the show, reiterating some of the points and adding new ones. I especially enjoyed Malcolm Tucker's bit about tips for incoming Ministers, especially the bit about fucking and how gay fucking wasn't weird fucking, unless you don't happen to be gay in which case it is weird fucking.

Just ordered like-new hardcover copies of Joseph Campbell's A Hero with a Thousand Faces and The Power of Myth for pennies on Amazon. The incredible buyer's market of used books online never ceases to amaze me.

It's a crime that I've gone this long without reading those two books. After reading these I plan to order The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan.

And starting today I'm diving into the original Cosmos series which for some insane reason I've never sat down and digested.

No time like the present!

RARE BOOK - Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor

Anybody want to buy a copy of "Everything That Rises Must Converge" by Flannery O'Connor? First Edition, 5th printing, published in 1966.

Bob? Innerspaceboy? Steph? Janz?

I'll sell it for $60 on a MB discount and ship it for free.

A tempting offer and a very fair price! Thanks for thinking of me but I've got some multi-hundred dollar book purchases in the works and I'm trying to reel in my recreational spending. I did just buy an Easton Press goldleaf leatherbound autographed edition of Ready Player One as a future surprise gift for my wife! :) Shhhhh!

No problem. I have a bunch of stuff I just put on Craigslist. The rest are far more reasonable. Here's the rest in case you or anybody else is interested.

Just putting this out there - if anyone just so happens to have a copy of THE KLF's The Manual: How To Have a Number 1 The Easy Way, I will buy.

Don't be mad because you can't read.
