A Clockwork Orange


A Clockwork Orange
Anthony Burgess
I didn't read this in school nor did I see the Stanley Kubrick film version.
I couldn't get past the slang. All the glazzies, tolchocks,ptitsas and golosses and so on were too distracting for my taste.
I did find the method of making someone "sane" intriguing. I wonder if it would really work?
Sadly, I didn't enjoy this modern day classic as much as I had hoped.

The Afterlife Experiments


The Afterlife Experiments
Gary E. Schwartz, PH.D.
with William L. Simon
Forward by Deepak Chopra

This was a wonderful book. My favorite readings were the ones conducted by John Edwards.
Because of my own personal experiences, I do believe in life after death. It was interesting to read about scientific data that even the skeptics would find hard to repute.
If the Living Soul hypothesis is ever accepted and believed by all, it would change everything.
