Excellent read so far...
Hey everyone,
I'm currently reading Rachel Pallack's "Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot." I came upon it by accident but to my surprise I see the book is very insightful. I admire how Ms. Pallack has beautifully explained many insightful interpretations and provides a little history on the symbolism of the cards.
I think this is an absolute genius read. I love it and highly recommend it.
Does anyone know if she has other material I should read? Or recommend any other authors?
Thank you.

Hi, MadCookie,
Rachel Pollack is also my favorite author in Tarot. I have the 78 degrees in two books: one for the Major Arcana and one for Minor and spreads. Then she has at least another book called Tarot: the Open Labyrinth, in which she comments several of her real readings, so you see how it's done.
I have just begun reading a novel called Slinky Jane, which I had ying around for a long time. Can't tell if it's any good, but the last novel I read by this same author I only found so-so. Her name is Catherine Cookson -I believe she is quite well known- and the novel I didn't much like is 'The Garment'. Does anybody know it? :)

Just last night I picked up a book that I found profound, despite the obvious author and his specialty genre.
Stephen King's IT, a book of horror, with children having to face THE unspeakable evil and besting it, can teach us all something of ourselves. Stephen King himself, in the opening pages of this book speaks insurmountable truth, a truth that I learned from this book myself.
"Kids, fiction is the truth inside the lie, and the truth of this fiction is simple enough: the magic exists." - Stephen King
If you have not read this book because of the horror, I can understand your hesitation. If you have not read this book for any other reason, please give this book an honest chance. The story is good, but the point of it is far-reaching.

Watchmen - i just finished it yesterday. it was WONDERFUL. simply amazing. reading this story is like watching a movie. i never knew a graphic novel can be so powerful. it delves deep into your mind and makes you think in a way that's not been attempted before by any book i have ever read. this is the kind of book that you can read multiple times, and every time, you'll come up with a different perspective of the story. the characters are portrayed in intricate detail. they are not just super-humans, but much more than that. and at the same time, they are very much human like you, me or anyone else. i plan to read it again, once i finish the other books of mine.
Have fun, have faith in yourself and always have the best food!
