There are many, many books on my reading lists. I keep two. One is a
general list of political, social, economic, history and philosophy books. Another is a list of fiction, poetry and travel. I work my way through them. I expect to die clutching a reading list that extends to hundreds of books I'm hoping to read. Perhaps if there is a heaven it will be stocked with books, dogs, horses and trout.

Right now I am reading "From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The evolution of minds" by the neurobiologist and philosopher David Dennett. Next up is "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Nobel prize winning cognitive psychologist Daniel Kahneman.(less)

Hello RetroHound:

It is wonderful to hear from someone who knows Dennis, Kansas. My
grandmother raised my father and his brothers and sisters there in the
Depression. I know the Church well and attend services there when I
visit my mother who lives in Ft. Scott. Two of the parishioners were
best friends with my dad, played sports with him and herded cattle
out of the village in the mornings and herded them back into the village
after school as their jobs. Parsons is where my mother grew up as part
of the extended Sawyer clan, many of whom still live there. Many of
my cousins were part of my "playmate" clan and some still reside in
Parsons. Dennis is very special to me and I drop by when I can to see
how it is going there. My grandmother was a "pillar" of the village during
the 30s-60s. In the 30s Dennis was a "going concern", with a High School,
lumberyard, merchants, post office, bank, grocery store and mechanics.
There was as legendary bank robbery there in the 30s that hurt the
village badly. The railroad pulled out too.

As for "numbering" the Mitch Roberts books, it wasn't done during the
80s when they were first published by Avon and Fawcett. I didn't think
it mattered a whole lot then but maybe numbering them now as e-books
is a good idea. Thanks.

Best regards,
Gaylord Dold(less)

More important in a political sense was the death of WinstonD, a programmed natural trainee discove
