Lot 49 had some especially powerful imagery that mined a deep vein
of cultural legend. I could almost see the conspiracies congealing around
me after I'd read it.

I have killed a new item 78 offering a pyramid scheme. The item appears
in another conference, is illegal, and does not concern books.

Thanks, Rane. I've forgotten it in several other conferences
already. <double sigh>

Did I already post? I'm Julie Pratt. My fave kinds of books are
Fantasy and Science Fiction, but I also like to read religious
literature.

Religious literature meaning Homer, or Dante, or St. Augustine, or ???

Religious literature meaning, the Scriptures, James E. Talmage's Jesus
the Christ, or The Ensign magazine. I also like to read the mythos of
various cultures, like the greco-roman, egyptian, celtic, or nordic
mythos. So I guess you could say I like to read Homer and Dante.
You'll have to fill me in on St. Augustine, though. I've never heard of
that.

Augustine of Hippo, Catholic saint and extremely influential religious
writer. Also notable for an interesting <ahem> personal life. His most
cited work is probably "City of God"

Hmm. Think the Library would have some of his work?

Depends on which library, where. But Confessions & City of God are quite
likely to be in a good general library. If not, they're widely available &
in the public domain (though particular translations will be copyright if done
recently). You might start with an encyclopedia for background.

Augestine had, by many accounts, more influence on the development of
Christianity than anyone since St. Paul. My impression is that he's
very unpopular with the more liberal and anti-guilt Xianian camps....

re #122: That may be true, he's certainly in the running (along with
Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and a couple others..)
re #199: A small public library might not have much Augustine lying
around -- it's not the sort of light reading material you stack next
to the Wall of Tom Clancy Novels. But a decent-sized library would
be likely to have it and a college or university library almost certain.
Of course one of the most wonderful things about even quite small
public libraries is that even if they *don't* have something they can
quite often get it for you, for free, from another library.
re #121: I've heard some of Hildegard von Bingen's music. I presume
she also wrote, but were you referring to her writings or her music?

Consider visiting a bookstore such as B. Daltons or Waldenbooks. You
might also consider asking your local computer sales person to
recommend a good book.

Bookworm, have you read any Frank Perretti? "The Oath" is very dark, almost
depressing, but his "Darkness" series, is, ironically, much lighter and more
accessible. If the characters don't always know what's going on, at least
the reader does, most of the time. :-)

No, I can't say as I have. Not much time for that with Finals coming
up.
Hey you guys. My husband and I will be coming up to visit a week from
tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting all of you.
