"Memoirs OF An Exorcist." Father Gabriele Amorth

When I heard Father Amorth, the most powerful exorcist in the catholic church, say in a television interview:"The devil sh**s in his pants when he sees me.", I had to buy the book. A very interesting aspect in this book is evil spirits, when they perceive some powerful exorcist, get very scared. To scare murderous and vicious demonic spirits, this book asserts, it must be a really nightmarish place in hell, so they roam Earth, without peace, until they can get into a physical body again, to do what they do. The case studies in this book are interesting.

Just finished "Twelve Sharp" a couple of days ago and now reading "Lean Mean Thirteen"
They are simple reads, enjoyable and funny, can't seem to ever put the books down. SS (f) got me into this series this past Christmas (and in between I have read books from the Anita Blake series which she also got me hooked into when we first met)

Thanks for starting me up on these series of books baby ;) You can't get annoyed if I don't have time for anything else :p psssstt you know I always got time for you (f)

Justice Roberts' opinion on the Affordable Care Act.... ick, it's so lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng

i just finished pearl in the sand by tessa afshar. it's a christian romance retelling of the story of rahab from the old testament. i read it because it was free on kindle and because historical fiction is a guilty pleasure of mine. it was a bit preachy and the plot went along far too neatly, but overall it was a fun light read :)

i'm still working my way slowly through sex & disability and lilith's brood/xenogenesis by octavia butler.

i read
the amateur - ed klein

then to wash the memory out of my brain

the call of the wild - jack london

An easy summer romance read...
 

Across by Blue Dawson.

Julia Cameron
 

"Faith and Will" by Julia Cameron

I just picked this up, read the first sentence and
knew I had to read it.

Greco

started the revolution will not be funded, edited by incite! women of color against violence. and the new jim crow: mass incarceration in the age of colorblindness by michelle alexander.

I have been reading from several authors (Swedish or Danish, by origin) but I guess what I miss reading the most or perhaps even miss in face to face conversations is unvarnished, completely transparent exchange of ideas between people who might agree or tend to disagree; but certainly I miss the verbal or textual exchange in an unvarnished format.

That's not to say I miss ugliness or language that pushes the envelope of incivility. What I mean is that it would be nice to read or participate in an exchange of ideas or dreams or whatever in unvarnished ways.

That's what I miss the most: when reading here or there or anywhere
(conversations included, too).

10 more days until the library summer program ends!

Now reading:
Farther Away - Jonathan Franzen

Favorite passage in the book so far, "If you dedicate your existence to being likable, however, and if you adopt whatever cool persona is necessary to make it happen, it suggests that you've despaired of being loved for who you really are. And if you succeed in manipulating other people into liking you, it will be hard not to feel, at some level, contempt for those people, because they've fallen for your shtick. Those people exist to make you feel good about yourself, but how good can your feeling be when it's provided by people you don't respect?"

Buddhism for Beginners - Thubten Chodron


and two in the kitchen for a little light summer canning:
175 best Jams, Jellies, Marmalades - Linda Amendt

Pickles to Relish - Beverly Alfeld (her full name is longer than the title)

50 Shades of Grey trio of books
 

"In One Person", by John Irving.

Funny, well-written and interesting. How can you beat that?

I got this book for Kindle after seeing your post and I'm curious about how you liked it. I liked it a lot- but the charm is definitely in the details.


Right now I'm reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson. It's hysterical.

starship troopers - robert a. heinlein

i have to admit - for a book written in 1960 it still reads very modern
and i totally get why the odd man at the va hospital was so keen to recommend it
