Books, Books, and More Books

Just finished Christoper Moore's new book, ANIMA RISING -- fairly standard for him, featuring Gustav Klimt, Egin Schielle, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and the Bride of Frankenstein among the main characters.

When I was a teenager, I read "Advise and Consent." It made a big impact on me.

"To the end he faced the world with a charming impudence----saucy, cocky, Rabelaisian and, in his fashion, as gallant a gentleman as ever trod the boards."
