fun times.. a year and a month have passed since i moved in to the house where my cousin deb and her husband bobby live.. i had a small but comfortable room, tv, etc.. a nice cozy family situation, you might say....right?.

i pay $600 a month to defray expenses.. hunky dory.. sure.

until the first few eruptions!.

Books that make you go hmm....

it's occurred to me that i have been reshaped by the books i have read, taking my new knowledge for granted, and forgetting that those around me have not been on the same journey.

as a consequence sparks fly, as iron sharpening iron, as we strive to understand each other (or to insist that we are not the same).

there are a few books that stand out, as i refer to them over and over again.

I just read an article in the latest edition of Scientific American Mind about the wisdom of psychopaths. I enjoyed it and am considering reading the book 'The Wisdom of Psychopaths' by the same author who wrote the article, Kevin Dutton.

" I might start a book thread. I'll try and orient it towards the ex-JW community and new thinking. Would you be interested?"

Please do jgnat. I love book threads. I have quite a few I need to get my butt in gear to read also.
