Gathatoulie

And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

Library Notice

I have gotten a lot of mileage out of the Cambridge
Public Libraries this past summer (and fall).  The
latest stack waiting for me there is comprised of:

Savage love : Straight Answers from America's Most Popular Sex
Columnist, by Dan Savage

Emotion and peace of mind: From Stoic Agitation to Christian
Temptation, by Richard Sorabji

and

The Chemistry of Joy: A Three-Step Program for Overcoming Depression
Through Western Science and Eastern Wisdom, by Henry Emmons

These books have very different review profiles on Amazon...

17/33 gave 5 stars
1/2 gave 5 stars
13/14 gave 5 stars

But they all have the same or similar number of "average
stars", they all have subtitles, and they are all written by males.
Perhaps they have a little bit more in common with one another
too... we shall see ~~ it seemed like a nicely gathatoulie-ish stack...
