POPSHow Long Must Terrorism Go On? How Long? As U2 sings, "How long must this go on; how long?" Religion was not established to murder and be blessed. What wayward thinking that will only bring doom to those who kill in the name of God.

POPSBooker Short List Announced Super excited about the new books from Byatt and Coetzee. Will read them even if they do not win. Will definitely read the winner. I'm still reading last year's winner - "Midnight's Children" by Rushdie. It is fantastic, but I hit a lull. Not enough time to read when you're having fun raising a toddler.

POPSThe Quickening The Mayans spoke a lot of "the quickening" of time and we are in the first half of the 21th century now. Some say the "change" will occur in 2012. Are we headed for some sort of noosphere? Exciting stuff, eh? .:D Peter Russell shows that humanity has reached a crossroads in its evolutionary path. Computers, satellites, fiber optics, video recorders and other technology, are the catalysts linking our planet into one, worldwide community - a "global brain". This technology, combined with a the rapidly growing human potential movement, is helping to create a collective consciousness that is humanity's only hope of saving it from itself. However, Russell warns if we continue on our current path of greed and destruction, humanity will serve only as a planetary cancer.

POPSPrinceton bookstore succumbs to cultural shift 10 years ago I lived in Chicago and loved the bookstores there. Now I live in a town with crappy chain and independent bookstores and have pretty much come to rely on Amazon and half.com for my book needs, and don't really see much of a need for them anymore.
