i think i fit into this category

i do not read a lot of fiction (unless comic books count). Gods of Eden by William Bramley is a book that always seems to stick with me.

i am know to have 4 or 5 books going at once since this is mostly for study. currently reading a few books on Egyptian Myth and Legend.

Ra can be Ra, Re, Rah, etc... depends on the location of worship in Egypts

while you're there, check out Nuit (or Nut), Tahuti (or thoth).

if you want a good read check out "weighing of the heart"

tootles!

Pol Pot: Anatomy of a Nightmare, Phillip Short

This is more or less a biography of Pol Pot, the primary figure behind the Killing Fields of Cambodia in the 70's. The author (a former BBC correspondent), spent about 5 years interviewing some of the leaders and other figures involved.

But the author spends a lot of time analyzing many different aspects contributing to these horrific events too - not JUST a biography of Pol Pot but Cambodia itself.

I was particularly intrigued by how the author points out how Therevada Buddhism, in this particular culture and time, played a roll.

A little difficult to get the hang of reading since many characters changed their names many times and they are all similar and complicated for my english speaking brain.

Don't lose your individuality and never let the mob influence what you know to be right and wrong.
