I'm currently enjoying with great difficultly The Journal of John Woolman to keep my 5 foot shelf promise I made to myself. Woolman was a Quaker abolitionist in 18th century American colonies. It is his day journal and thoughts. I do not believe in his god, but I do believe I would have been blessed to get a chance to be affected by him. I'm also re-reading out loud The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind with my partner. That is because it is a fun take on The Illiad, and it works my active vocabulary. FYI ... I use this as a common ice-breaker, too!
