Harper Lee: "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Ahhhh, what I'd give to be able to read this again ... for the FIRST time. Poetry in Prose.
David S. Awbrey: "Finding Hope in the Age of Melancholy."
Superb commentary on the post-modern cultural crisis in America.
Krishnamurti: "Think on These Things."
If everyone read it, humanity would finally have a shot at true enlightenment.
A 60's idealist so brutalized by the mind-blowing political assassinations & unending corruption in my society, combined with the early and sudden loss of my Mother, that I allowed myself to devolve into a material slut, nearly losing my soul on the consumer highway to hell. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Music Compilations ... par excellence, NYC Street Artist ~ Photographer, unproduced Screenwriter, unpublished Writer, dedicated Journal-writer, avid Reader, Film Buff, C-Span Junkie ~ obsessively videotapes Movies, Documentaries and TV/Cable Politics/News, Percussionist, failed Pianist & Lyricist, half-assed Poet (i.e., few written & all w/o formal training) and private Dancer (means I'm not above doing it alone, same as with laughter -- I can entertain myself for hours with the bon mots tripping off the tongues of my stuffed menagerie).
