Dogma is a movie that is irrelevant, blasphemous, heretical, and
terribly funny. |
 |
Right now my recommendation for funniest
movie is Happy
Texas. I haven't cracked up as much since I can remember.
This move is a wonderful farce! |

I usually juggle several books at the time, at with my lack
of coordination you know this can be a problem. Here are a
couple books I am enjoying now or have recently finished.

Candide by Voltaire
It is the the best of all possible worlds according to Dr. Pangloss the
philosopher who educated Candide, but in modern excrement happens .
. . . . . . . . .but in Shakespearean terms alls well that ends well.
I read Voltaire's classic every year, just as a reality check. |

Consilience by E.O. Wilson.
E.O. Wilson is in the same league of thinkers as Stephen Hawkings or
Stephen J. Gould, except his first name is Edward <yuk yuk>.
This book is concerned with the unity of knowledge across all human fields
of endeavor. Lots of good Zeitgeist stuff for the history buffs.

Arthur Rex by Thomas Berger
A rewrite of Le Morte De Arthur, in more approachable English.
Brings out a bit more of the randiness of Le Morte that is lost on more
modern translations. |

by H. W. Brands very bully |
