Here's a Proposal.


This book is the greatest thing to come along in my life since....I don't know, a long time ago.  I love it with a very true love.  I want to cuddle it in my sleep like I used to do with my favorite toys when I was little.

"Sum will expand your universe with delight and possibility, showing in the process what a mysterious and profound thing the human imagination can be."   -Mary Postgate

It's a collection of 40 very short meditations on the afterlife that are so creative and refreshing and thought-provoking I can hardly believe it's real. I thought the stories would make a good base for discussions here.  Wanna read the book?! Huh?  Huh?!

  1. Yay, the hive mind lives!! That sounds great, It looks really interesting and I'll totally pick it up from the library! I need a big break from British Romanticism and It'll be a good excuse to again put off the right wing republican books my in-laws keep giving me (:

  2. I'll try to find it, and read it. I did enjoy that radiolab episode. Right now I'm in the middle of "Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" quite interesting!
