Subject: RE: BS: What book are you reading right now
I too am reading God's Politics, Don. In fact, for the first time in my life I am participating in a forum based on a book. GP is being dissected every two weeks by a local group of about 15 people.

I'm also reading Our Dreaming Mind by Robert Van de Castle, "a sweeping exploration of the role that dreams have played in politics, art, religion, and psychology from ancient civilizations to the present day." It's very interesting, actually. And it's BIG. I love big books.

And I'm reading Bush on the Couch by Justin Frank, MD. As one reviewer said, "An eminent and courageous psychotherapist offers us a penetrating account of the psychological makeup of the most powerful man in the world. It is compelling and persuasive and downright frightening. Most readers will end this book stunned, asking themselves how it has come about that we have chosen a leader so ill-equipped for the job."
