while waiting for Jazzy at gymnastics, swimming, piano, cheerleading, karate, and now 45 minutes twice a day dropping off and picking up for school:
"Freakonomics" by Steven Levitt - Does a good job of explaining strange phenomenon like why the crime rate has diminished in NYC (and other places) over the last 30 years.
"Decision Points" by George W. Bush. He's not such a bad guy after all. Interesting childhood and life he had/has.
"Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of Life You Planned before Birth" by Robert Schwartz. Numerous examples of between life agreements between people. Ho hum... written for total beginner. Kind of boring. Didn't really finish it. Got bad reviews because of his boring writing style.
"Messages from the Masters" Brian Weiss MD. Psychiatrist who specializes in past life regression. He has written many books, most of which I've read over the years. Hundreds of cases. He uses the information in the past life and between life regression to heal the patient of various anxieties and other ailments.
"Growing Up in Heaven- The Eternal Connection Between Parent and Child" by James Van Praagh. Producer of the show "Medium" with Allison Dubuois- the "intuitive" who works with the Phoenix Police Department and is now a prosecuting attorney. Death of children and how they continue on in the "between life" environment. Again, I've read most, if not all of his books. Usually go to his "psychic development" courses when he is in Phoenix. Too bad I'll be missing the one happening tomorrow in Phoenix:(
"Glimpses of Eternity- Shared Death Experiences" by Raymond Moody, MD. People occasionally mention to me that when their animal is put to sleep, they have a "shared death experience". Book has many examples of this.
"Pompeii- City on Fire" by T.J. Higley. Author is an English Literature/History professor who writes novels about true occurrences in history, but makes it really interesting in a novel format. Always been interested in Rome/Pompeii. Maybe I'll read all of her other books that have to do with other periods in history.
"A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard. In 1991, Jaycee was an 11 yr old girl who was kidnapped by Phillip and Nancy Giordo. Kept for 18 years in a backyard compound, kept tied up for years, raped often. The book is very graphic and written in very basic language... i.e kind of like a 14 year old girl's writing.
"Anastasia of Russia" by Vladimir Megre. Now I'm reading Book One of this 8.2 Ringing Cedar Book Series. Fantasy book about "spiritual principles"... natural gardening, living on the land, communication, in perfect harmony with the land in the wilds of Siberia. Going to take me a long time to get thru 8.2 (9) books!
