House of Leaves

Re-read for the fifth time in three years and it actually made sense this time round.

Natural Born Killers

About my millionth re-read of this book since I bought it in 1995. Love it.

I LOVED this book! The Grimm’s stories are amazing.

The Woman with the Alabaster Jar: Mary Magdalen and the Holy Grail

by Margaret Starbird

Whilst I really enjoyed this book and would feel compelled to recommend it to anyone researching the historical Jesus, I really missed Margaret Starbird’s lyrical writing style that she uses in The Goddess in the Gospels : Reclaiming the Sacred Feminine. I found The Woman with the Alabaster Jar a very difficult read, though ultimately worth the perseverance for the amount of information that can be gleaned from it.

Mas Alla Del Codigo Da Vinci / Beyond the Da Vinci Code

by Rene Chandelle

Now, I didn’t actually read this in Spanish, but for some reason I can’t find the English version online anywhere!

It was an excellent book: concise and to the point and managing to touch on a huge number of issues that the Da Vinci code raises, especially with respect to the Gnostic gospels.

On the Town

by Gene Kelly

The sooner this is released on R2 DVD, the better, quite frankly!
