Things I´ve read and what I thought of them.  This should be much fun for me and for those who think I´m a pompous, over-intellectualizing buffoon.

What I´m Reading
The Cat Nappers by P.G. Wodehouse

Bertie Wooster and Jeeves deal with a horse that has fallen in love with a stray cat.  The usual assortment of ex-fiancees, jealous boyfriends and renegade aunts.  Cassette.

Jupiter Effect Reconsidered by Bill Napier

These gents originally wrote The Jupiter Effect in 1977 using it to predict unusual solar and siesmic activity.  When the predictions didn´t bear out they wrote this "sequel" to explain the problems with their theory.

Pole Shift by Michael White

An unusual book.  Originally published in the hey day of New Age , consiousness expanding, philosophical mumbo-jumbo, it takes the tack that all the theories presented are worth exploring without judgement.  I guess that is the "scientific" way, but some of the theories are WAY out there.  Edgar Cayce is presented on a par with Albert Einstein.  In the epilogue, White pretty much discounts all of the theories in a pretty vigorous manner (obviously, I `m nearly finished).  I can´t wait to write on this in more depth.

The Complete Idiot´s Guide to Philosophy

I have wanted to understand Philosophy in more depth since my college days (I guess I should have taken a class when I had the chance!).  Although I really have a problem with the title of the series (much like the Dummies series), this really seemed to cover most of the territory I wanted to cover...Classical to Post Modern.

Impact by Gerrit L. Verschuur

Subtitled The Threat of Comets & Asteroids, this was published after the very much publicized impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy into Jupiter in 1994.  So far, fairly readable and combines science, history and biography very well.  Similar in style to Nemesis by xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx.

A Life Considered

The life story of Joseph Campbell, the foremost authority on myths and legends of the world´s peoples.
