Dieonysos Would anyone have any feedback on thumping good reads? Personally im running through the Prophet By Kahlil Gibran It is particularly lyrical and its depths go untouched by the hand of man I know a few. I'm reading this really good book called "Mind Games". It's pretty good so far. You should look into it. I've also wanted to get this book called "Elephants on Acid". It's about different things that people have experimented with. I haven't got the exact details, but it sounds extraordinary.

Right now I am interested in Greek Mythology. My mind has been on it since I began with a story idea.
It's about the Greek God "Thanatos" or otherwise known as the Grim Reaper in most cultures. This story is surrounded by fear and death.

Greek Mythology will always be a stigma.. but Babylonian mythology is also very interesting If your speaking in terms of disease, famine, and pestilence this would take the cake.. do names like Marduk, Tiamat, or the Necronomicon ring any bells?
