Desultory

I know I'm being flaky with my book reading starts and stops lately. It usually happens that after finishing a big book I then immediately start 14 others all at the same time, full of momentum.

I've also already read everything. That is possible. It's possible when you see books as influences that reside in a hierarchy and you've engaged each level of that hierarchy on up to the summit. Most people never see the 'mountain' and hence take one thing and another at the same level (the Iliad and a comic book for instance, like some professors of literature do). This causes a person to both get stuck at one level or another - usually for life - and to not get what is of value from an influence to begin with, for various reasons I can't go into without writing a treatise.

I've also read in all categories*. History, imaginative literature, philosophy, sacred writings. Throw in art, music, science as they can be engaged through the written word.

Meditating through the AV1611 and doing the faith at the practical level is beyond summit.

(*OK, Euclid's Elements has escaped my laser-like attention...)
