King sure knows how to bring the cruelty in some hearts out and lay it visibly for all to see. This book certainly started horribly with the flu spread... but now the ugliness of twisted minds is taking over... where is it going?! Unclear... a battle?! The destruction of everything? Peace through surrender?

Wow. This is really creepy how accurately King seems to have written the onset of the Covid pandemic!

Entering the twentieth century now. This book truly is fascinating. It opens up the manipulations of government agencies through the centuries to control, extort, and profit!!

Fascinating treatise on how sugar addiction drove the slave trade. This book goes all over the place... but is somehow neatly tied together with its common theme of mind altering substances.

The history of colonialism and the patriarchal dominator society is intricately woven with alcohol. Makes sense. McKenna proposes some strong arguments.

This deep dive into the evolution of consciousness through the development of religion is absolutely fascinating. Do our roots as humans intertwine with the mycelium of cubensis?! Very probable!

Terence just makes sense. His writing echoes all of the thoughts I’ve had... so maybe reading this is dangerous for it’s confirmation bias... but damn it feels good to delve into someone’s thoughts that so closely align with mine!

Avery Stempel is on page 49 of 255 of Dr. No (James Bond #6)

Fleming writes with such easy flair. Detailed, interesting. Love the movies, but there is so much in the books that is lost when translated to screen!

Classic Bond. Love the detail the books get into with the other characters.., though... the language is certainly very period. Love seeing them use Telegraph machines. How technology has changed!
