Feature & Follow Friday

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is well and happy today and looking forward with anticipation to the end of the year! We have a very interesting question this week, one not so easily answered. So let's get right down to it, shall we?


Q: WHAT BOOK DO YOU THINK EVERYONE SHOULD READ? IF YOU COULD GIFT THE ENTIRE POPULATION WITH ONE BOOK?


There are so many good books in the world. Of course, they are read for different reasons. Am I allowed to offer one of my own? I'll do that first, and then list the alternate, for those that might cry foul or self-serving.

Revelations would be my choice. Because it's a message of love, and hope and peace. Something the world could do with a healthy dose of.


But let's go with another book too, one I recently read and found very fascinating. Paradise Lost. It says a lot about mankind, and his relationship to God. Not all of it good. Very much food for thought. Also interesting if you know the author was blind and dictated it to his daughter. Also that he lived during the time of Cromwell... well, you can look that up yourself, if you're interested and so inclined.

So there you have it. Revelations and Paradise Lost.

  4. Revelations will be out in February, with Museit Up. I found Paradise Lost to be fascinating, especially in that Lucifer is really the hero of the tale and comes off rather nicely.

    Thanks for stopping by and for the follow, heading to your place now!
