Ah..I couldn't stay away..too many crazy dreams. And a discussion of one of my favorite things!

Decided to blog again ..I know I haven't heard from many on my "roll call" in previous post. Perhaps you have taken a vow of no computers for a time. Perhaps you are simply too busy. I understand. Believe me. Just shout out when you have the chance.
I needed to post again. I had some fucked up dreams again. One dream I had a couple nights ago was where I was being chased by wolves, and they caught up with me and started biting me..taking chunks out of my legs and arms. It didn't hurt..I think I was on the outside looking in. Last night the dream I had involved a guy (unknown) who wielded a serrated knife at me from the outside of the house I was in.Instead of going to the phone like a normal person and calling the police, I grabbed a chef knife and went outside to do battle. I ended up winning the battle..a few parrys and thrusts and stabbed him good several times. Then I woke up. I didn't find myself scared when I awoke. Usually I just wake up, and stay confused about what the dream actually means all freakin day. those of you who read my posts on a regular basis know that I always have fucked up dreams. Why they have to be so freakin violent, I dunno. Maybe it's Pizzaslinger's dreams.
In other news..I've banished Neitzsche to the "I'll read this one much much MUCH later" book pile. In its stead, I've begun Aristotle's "The Nichomachian Ethics". And am finding it much easier to read, and absorb. Wish I had someone else out there who was reading it too. Could be some interesting discussion. Yes, I must seem strange for some..I like reading books like this in my spare time. maybe its a huge turn off for people. I know that for the most part, a "normal" conversation here is discussing the weather. Thats about it. Here's another fear of mine..that my brain will turn to mush from lack of use. Ask anyone who's known me since childhood...I was the type of kid who would prefer to sit on the steps of the school at recess and read a book, rather than play in the recess yard with the other kids. Apparantly one time in Grade 1 (by that time I could read novels) my teacher called my Mom in to talk to her about my behavior. The teacher says," All Stranger wants to do is read. She doesn't interact with the other students." My Mom's response? "So what? Let her read if she wants to!" To my Mom..there was nothing wrong with me. I liked that. I love getting books as gifts. Last Christmas my sis N got me "Memoirs of A Geisha", by Arthur Golden. I read and reread that book 2 dozen times. A fantastic book.
So here's a Blogger question for all of you...what are you reading right now? It can be a magazine if you aren't a bookworm. You can even name a newspaper if thats your speed. And another question..whats the best book you ever read? For me its a toss up between The Diviners by Margaret Laurence, and Margaret Atwood's The Edible Woman.
