If you've got the time, I'd really encourage you to pick up the first book in the series as well. While the movie was more about Walsh's experiences, the book contains the actual "conversations." Whether you agree with the view they present or not, there's some great food for thought in there. That is a great piece you took from the movie, Daniel… thanks for pointing it out!

I've usually got one next to the bed (right now I'm re-reading "Ask and it is Given" there), one in the car for my lunchtime at work ("The Art of Thinking" by Ernest Dimnet), one in the bathroom ("The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield), and then of course there are the number of ebooks that I'm working through. I've been browsing through Byron Katie's stuff on the web, and it seems interesting... I'll probably end up checking out her work soon as well.

I'll be tweaking and changing it as time goes on, but in general I'm pretty happy with it. I'm glad you like how it's set up. Thanks.

I think that I have bought 6-8 books from Amazon over the past 2 months. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho was the last book that I just finished reading 2 weeks ago. It is a fantastic book that someone online thought that I would like. I loved it. It is such a simple, deep, magical book. I love books. I am usually reading 3-4 at a time. I have books scattered throughout the house, anywhere that I might sit down for more than 2 minutes. I pick up the nearest book and read just a few pages to a chapter at a time. I like to think about and absorb what I have read. 3 of the books that I purchased recently are written by Thich Nhat Hanh. I have one in the living room beside my bed and the other two are in each of the bathrooms. The fourth book that I am reading right now is by Byron Katie. It is an understatement to say that I love to read. I have been told that Saggittarians have a thirst for knowledge. Like you, I have no idea how many books that I currently own.

The color change is the biggest for me. But, I like how you set things up. I will have to get use to your new theme. The color change is the biggest for me. But, I like how you set things up.

I will do this, only because I truly do love books, and participating here will help me get more comfortable with the "how to do" things you have been showing me about the computer. I already know which of my favorite books to mention, and strangely I just purchased several. Thanks for asking. okay, Lyman.

And it is funny how people twisted around the original Bible verse from "the love of money is the root of all evil" to "money is the root of all evil". Big difference, especially since you are right - no THING can be evil... it's only what we do with it. And believe me... coming up with just 5 *was* pretty tough. Mom – no, I didn’t know that!
