Negative Cool Points
After a wine-fueled discussion about The Secret and that new book Oprah's all crazed about, Margo, Marie and I have decided (nay, VISUALIZED) a long-distance-don't-call-it-a-book-club to see if this seeming bullcrappy is worth devoting any time to. I have a host of unread new-agey self-help books (two) gathering dander on my shelves, but am interested to see if these actually do lend any sort of guidance or advice that I can use to make my life...er...complete. Completely naff, perhaps, but complete all the same. Besides, having just read back-to-back books by Slash and Motley Crue, I think it's time to scrub out the ho/heroin/ho brainstain and do some thinkin' of a deeper sort. Or at least pretend that's the case, as I definitely feel like this is the literary version of the Atkins diet.

The secret is that cool points are overrated :P

I just finished the new book, though not the secret. I don't know if it will make your life complete--but there is a lot of good stuff in there which is mostly summarized from the Bible and Tao Te Ching (good stuff). It presents it in a more readable way and I enjoyed it and find the ideas sound. However, perhaps I should expand my book list to include some ho/herioin lit, just to balance it out.
