Great post! Jack Zipes has a new version of the original Grimm's out now too.

For anyone who has not read his biography, The Man Who Loved Only Numbers it is an interesting book, even if you aren't into mathematics.

Hey you're welcome, and thanks.

If you want to know more about money, start with Galbraith's excellent book.

Watch out, though, one day you might find yourself studying economics. Perish the thought!

It's the namiki falcon resin gold tipped cartridge soft nib fountain pen. Amazon link here. It's amazing!

His original paper can be found here. If you find it a bit dense then you may be interested in reading an annotated version of his work found from this wonderful book.

This is because she has somehow become involved in vampire stories. The Apologetics Study Bible has a brief bit on Lilith and vampires: "Modern-day vampires trace their origins to this verse and the mythical figure of Lilith, who was supposedly created before Eve. The legend of Lilith derives from a theory that Genesis has two creation accounts (this verse [1:27] and 2:7, 20-22). The two stories allow for two different women. Lilith does not appear in the Bible (apart from a debatable reference comparing her to a screech owl in the Hb [Hebrew] text of Is 34:14). Some rabbinic commentators, however, refer to Lilith as the first created woman, who refused to submit to Adam and fled from the garden. Eve was then created to be Adam's helper. After their expulsion from the garden, Adam reunited for a time with Lilith before finally returning to Eve. Lilith bore Adam a number of children, who became the demons of the Bible. According to kabbalistic legend, after Adam's reconciliation with Eve, Lilith took the title Queen of the Demons and became a murderer of infants and young boys, whom she turned into vampires."

This link leads to Isiah 34:14 in all English translations, because it easily shows the wide variance in translation for this verse. This variance is likely caused by different translations following different textual schools. Specifically note the rendering of "night monster."

The four volumes are available from Amazon as well as from University of Michigan Press. Editor Ken Wachsberger also has a website, blog and videos about all this, which are findable through Google.

It was a very long, strange trip. The stakes were high, the pay was nonexistent, the comradeship was palpable, and the stories these reporters tell will make you stand up and cheer.

That theory is detailed in Chapter 1 of this book among others. I was convinced after reading it.

This one? I have a bag of that right now, sitting on my kitchen counter!

There is a small European import store in my town which carries it. Unfortunately no Finnish ones, which I do like a little bit more than the dubbel zout.

edit: I have just been informed by my wife that I do not have it on the kitchen counter anymore. Apparently it was on the table, and one of my cats thought that it would be good times to knock over the open bag and spill them everywhere.

Fascinating group. Both Hindus and Muslims somehow adapting their beliefs into this weird niche cult. Also the originators of the word "thug" in modern language. I read this book a couple of years back on them, it's a pretty nice account, very readable whilst not getting too opinionated or dryly academic.

As a bonus, these are the guys Indiana Jones fights in the Temple of Doom. Though the movie messed up by showing them committing acts of bloodshed (including the infamous heart-ripping scene), which their religion specifically disallows, all their killing was done with silk cords via strangulation.

>You might be interested in the book Tears of My Soul by Hyun Hee Kim. She was the North Korean spy who helped blow up a Korean Airlines flight 585 in 1987. She was caught and sentenced to death in South Korea and then pardoned. She wrote Tears of My Soul after that, in it she talks about her life in N.K, training as a spy, and her impressions of the Western world and South Korea when being confronted with it. Well worth reading. Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Tears-Soul-Hyun-Hee-Kim/dp/0688128335/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264467525&sr=1-1

The Long Walk. Who cares if the story is questionable, it's an incredible story.

It's actually not that ironic; the Stoics were all about joy. It was negative emotions they wanted to cast off, not all emotions.

Link to actual book

There was an SF serial (now a published novel) Lockstep which proposed a way in which these planets could be used and inhabited. IIRC, it was serialized in Analog a few years back.
