I am a constant reader, and i like
eclectic stuff like Isabelle Eberhadt's
Oriental material.

Right now, I am reading a surprisingly good
book:

"Poor People"

The writer is talented:

"Europe Central" looks really interesting, though anything featuring Kurt Gerstein is probably not for the faint hearted.

Maybe our library has it?

I feel like i've just discovered a kindred
spirit. I bet he is manic-depressive, untreated.
I say this because i know that bipolars can
accomplish supernatural feats in the manic phase;
i bet Roy Porter was bipolar -- just my impression.

God bless Kurt Gerstein - i just googled
an entry, but it is so sad, that i left
it out a psych. support group.

I am sure that many men come home from
war with broken spirits and hearts - called
PTSD.

>God bless Kurt Gerstein

I read a book about him once, and that is how I remember feeling about him too.
