Library books... not finished
I'm bringing back some library books and listing them here.
I haven't finished all of them but I'm moving soon and I figure I can always take them out again.
Some of these are because of my recent delving into bible/catholic history.
Christianity/bible topics:
A History of Christianity
by Paul Johnson
c1976
The Oxford Companion to the bible
ed. by Bruce M. Metzger and Michael D. Coogan
c1993
The End of Faith : Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason
by Sam Harris
c2004
This is the author of "Letter to a Christian Nation" which I read a few months ago. I haven't tackled this one yet, but I will get back to it.

The City's End : Two Centuries of Fantasies, Fears, and Premonitions of New York's Destruction

The author goes over a wide range of media covering the possibility of New York City's destruction by war, monsters, aliens, super villains, and war. Movies, books, radio shows, music, art, and comic books are covered.

It was interesting to see how he painted the images of the various tarot images. It made me realize that when I create my own, they don't have to be perfect like some of the new glossy sets that are out there on the market.
