On the reading list and an audio book to boot
In the midst of the stress leading up to the radio show, I have been reading some and listening some.
Red Moon Rising- An intriguing book detailing the emergence (or more like re-emergence) of round the clock, everyday prayer. Is it a coincidence that others from other places around the world were beginning the same devotion to prayer? So far much of the story takes place in North Western Europe. I've only heard of maybe a half dozen places where there is a 24 hour prayer room in the States. Then again it seems that it is more an underground movement rather than a program. It wasn't "thought up" but just seemed to grow out of urgings of the spirtual kind that began to unite others with the same urge. Inspirational and occasionally challenging without glorifying the "practice."

Everything Christmas- At first I borrowed this book from the library. I then thought it had such useful stuff concerning Christmas (stories, history, songs, recipes) that I went out and found a cheap copy off of Half. Now reasearch for the Christmas show will not be so time consuming.
Himalaya- Finally, Himalaya is the unabridged audio book of Michael Palin's book and documentary travelogue of the same name. Witty and informative. I am intrigued with the many unique people he encounters. I however fell asleep during the part when we met with the Dalai Lama. Nonetheless, Michael Palin's reading (and interpretation in some cases) makes this an enjoyable to escape to highest places on earth.
