Steve and Connirae are awesome!!!
They're right here in Boulder--have you read "Six Blind Elephants?"
Here's a link:

The first book(s) that changed my life were the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The day I was born, my Dad threw the television set away and bought a set of these. My parents were ballroom dancers and slept late, so I'd get up, make my own cereal, and there was nothing to entertain me but these heavy books!
Monkeys, typewriters, Shakespeare...I started kindergarten reading at a college level and everyone hailed me as a genius
 Nope, just sheer boredom, childish inquisitiveness...and nekkid pictures lol.
After that, I remember reading John Steinbeck's "East Of Eden" while walking to school. I couldn't put it down.
"Atlas Shrugged" was next, equally thick, and though I didn't even notice at the time, as much a paradigm for capitalism as "East Of Eden" was for socialism.
Nowadays I read nonfiction...self-help and social activism stuff. I wish someone would market stick-on book jackets to cover up what I'm reading when the titles are kind of embarrassing!
Great books, silly titles:
"Getting The Love You Want" is Harville Hendrix's excellent explanation of why we're inevitably attracted to the love partners who drive us really, really crazy 
"Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway!" by Susan Jeffers could cure more worldwide depression and procrastination than anything else, I swear.
And from trying to understand why the court system here in Denver rewards habitual criminals and punishes their poor victims:
"And Justice For Some" by Wendy Murphy.
"Without Conscience: The Disturbing World Of Psychopaths Among Us" written by Robert Hare, PhD. His excellent website, www.hare.org is familiar to those in the criminal justice system in most of the world, yet somehow the U.S. feels it "infringes on criminal's rights" to test, diagnose, and label monsters wearing false human masks as dangerous psychopaths!
I give away copies of the last two books like candy at Halloween. Everyone in the whole District Attorney's Office here has a copy by now. But still, they're more concerned about prosecuting elementary school principals who ignore first-graders kissing than they are with slapping felonies on habitual violent offenders.
Moving to Canada soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoon... |
