Bookshelf
(The Church on Thursday Canon)
* indicates mandatory reading for proper deprogramming
Here, in case you're interested, is my bookshelf--well,
most of it (I excluded textbooks and anthologies for the most part). Why is
it up here? Simply because when I go to someone's house, I check out their
library (if they have one). It may also give the more astute of you an indication
of what Church on Thursday is about. It's also, I think, a great place to
get a recommended list for what you may want to read next. I've read all of
these books. Yes I have! Those highlighted with an asterisk will aid you in
deprogramming yourself from the public school and television agenda to dumb-down
Americans into consumer automatons.
