i went to see Lovey and he said, "hi there.  how are you today?  i am doing well.  I am listening to "Blonde On Blonde" the Bob Dylan album.  pretty good stuff.  ever heard of him?  i have read a few good books in the last couple weeks.  the first was "New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle.  dang yo, very good.  it redefines spiritual writing in my opinion.  the next book i read was "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn.  It's about a gorilla who teaches about humanity and the history and potential future of the planet.  very good.  both of these books changed my view of life in a fundamental way.  somehow i had never seen society in the way Daniel Quinn's character Ishmael sees it.  The insight into our common history, how we got to be the way we are, and what we can do now to bring about a meaningful future, is eye opening to say the least.  i highly recommend reading "Ishmael" it might change your view of the world for the better.  after that i read the sequel to "Ishmael" called "My Ishmael" in which Ishmael has a different pupil, a twelve year old girl, in fact.  Quinn makes interesting observations on human nature and the structure of society, although i much prefer the original book.  however, i found myself drawn to Quinn's vision of the world, and so i found another one of his books called "The Story of B" about a religious figure sent to investigate the alleged Antichrist.  i am almost finished with it and i'm enjoying it more than "My Ishmael" and this book too offers interesting insights into the life of the world.  i like, i like.  anyhoo.  reading is fun fun fun!  if you're not much of a reader, i suggest finding a book that interests you, because it really does engage the mind and a good book can be a teacher.  anyhow.  life is good."  that's what he said, and then he said, "Charles, i appreciate you coming to visit me here.  it's not so bad being locked up with a bunch of quote unquote lunatics."  and i said, "Lovey, you are my half brother, and i like the listen to your musings.  i'll be back next wednesday at three."
