    Once upon a time Dr. Scarmoge would post a booklist on the Message Board as to what he was reading/books he recommended. I get similar questions rather regularly, so I thought I’d post what’s currently in play on my writing desk. Here’s what’s actively being read so far in December.
    1. Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience: By: Mihaly Czikzenthmihalyi (1990)
    2: Magic In Western Culture:From Antiquity to The Enlightenment: By Brian P. Copenhaver (2015)
    3: The Dark Side of The Enlightenment: By John V. Fleming 2013
    4: The Speculative Turn: Continental Materialism And Realism Edited By Levi Bryant 2011
    5: Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials: By Reza Negarestani 2008
    6:A Human Algorithm: How Artificial Intelligence is Redefining Who We Are: By Flynn Coleman 2019
    7: Active Measures: The Secret History of Disinformation: By Thomas Rid 2019
    8:I See Satan Fall Like Lightning:Rene Girard 2001

    I an also digging around in the Theological Materials The Good Doctor has made available, more on THAT at a later date

    I guess we will get to see if the Fahrenheit 451 Plug in for Word Mess deletes this post for EGADS! posting titles of Books NOT on the Approved List. So far it has only been deleted once.

    Good Reading All! BLAKE
