I have a terrible habbit they say people who know me well.I am a collector of vinyl records, CDīs, books, maps, tapes, newspapers, post cards from distant areas of the world - anything which have my personal interest, I just canīt throw it out.
Through two lost marriages, I have promised a thouand times to throw some of it out, in particular the books, the maps and the tapes, because they take so much more space.
It goes like this every second year. I begin in the morning, removing some of the books I have two or three copies of, but then after I have removed some 10 books or maps, I feel sorry for the books and maps. I think to myself, they have had a nice life with me, never any humidity or dirt where they are on the shelves. What sort of invironment would they end up in far from their earlier peaceful home?
Then I feel embarrased towards my books, maps and tapes, which have given me such joy over the years, not to mention the knowledge which go along with the joy. Then I begin to read in one of the ones, I have removed, most often I will sit in my favourite chair, and then time passes until I have finished the book, and I suddenly realise itīs almost dinner time, and I have forgotten every thought of throwing anything away. So I put the ten books, the maps and the tapes back on itīs own place again.
In the kitchen or the living room, both my exeīs would say: Have you done it this year? How many books have you thrown out? Can I go and see for myself, they would say?
Sure thing, I say. Of course lying to my teeth.
Do any of you guys feel the same way about collecting books, tapes, maps or anything else you care about???

I can be a horrible house keeper at times. I have to remind myself now
that I'm not living in the other place where I can just let things drop.
I have to pick it up.

I know that you guys were a bit funny but making fun of someone who
wants to read isn't so funny. I have some literature that I need to read
and study from my church classes. I have the list myself.
1. Playing the guitar.-off the net
2. Firm Foundation- Growing strong in God's Family.

That's it!

Hi Sister Muza,
I did not detect any untoward verbiage directed at you by Intet. He's a gentleman who doesn't want to see anyone get hurt. He does sometimes rib one, of course all in jest.

i was kidding Corno, its my little sarcastic ways. here is a good example of why I should not be taken seriosly about 60% of the times

Guys guys guys. Who entered the book list???, adressed to whom???
It was entered by Corno, in response to my comment of wanting to read all books in the world
haha, see what I've started?![]()
Hi Intet,
The beauty of this curriculum is that it represents the Classical Liberal Arts. You have to read all the books and then write a 100 page Capstone Paper(Thesis) where you incorporate all the main ideas into one major theme from all the books you have read. If you follow through, no politician will ever want to debate you since they will not be able to pull the wool over your eyes. You'll be too smart for them to handle.
Cheers,

*If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-
*Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."
*Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

C5, Im right there with you
Intet, I actually am familiar with quite a bit of those books, but I wouldnt mind refreshing my memory on some of those. I do like the Ancient Greek plays, but I have taken a few classes on them, and those are not what they seem when you just read them at home.
