Cozy Mysteries
For comfort reading at the moment I'm going through the Agatha Christie Poirot novels in order. They're a blast, I highly recommend. I also recently watched the third Knives Out movie, "Wake Up Dead Man".... I have been practicing a form of this since college, when I read Mantak Chia’s book
The Mult-Orgasmic Man
and it’s great. Highly recommend.Making sense of "Love Money, Money Loves You"
At work the book "Love Money, Money Loves You" by Sarah McCrum came up, so I read it. Broadly speaking, I don’t recommend it. It gestures toward some perspectives I think will be very personally rewarding, on topics including: value, service, exchange, agency, and happiness.... Updating here. It's been an interesting couple of weeks wrt this. I got Disappearance as an audio book, which I think was possibly a mistake. It's read by the author (as himself) and two actors (as the other two characters).... Update: Finished all four books; now I think of this series as one massive book, and from this point of view it's one of my favorites of all time. Dense, philosophical, weird, utopian, metaphysical, full of good ideas, brilliantly written, too many references that make it that... - BridgetB...

My reaction to this is not about the movie, but about the book "Last of the Mohicans". I hated the book. To me, it didn't have any plot. It had anecdotes followed by more anecdotes where each anecdote was how the heroes got captured, were facing sure death, there was no way... - Tobias Reber...
Hey Jordan - thanks for your question and sorry for the late reply. I have not. How about you? What I do have tried is several of your online talks / interviews, and I just started giving "A Beautiful Apocalypse" a try after discovering it on Transformational Connecion's SAS... Ok, I finished the Carr novel. Here's part 2 of my review: https://uptrusting.com/post/pBEDzQ
Epic. I really loved reading this and the feeling of possibilities it gave me. I want to come back with more specific reactions, but it feels like there are many things I want to say, more than I have been able to make writing space for so far....
