About meWriter, editor, musician, scientist, artist, biophile

About my libraryIt's alive! Less sensationally, it's incomplete. Most of these books are physical copies in my possession; some are electronic copies; a few I borrowed from friends or family. So it's less a precise record of what I own than a partial record of what I've read or own.
The physical books are on shelves, in boxes, in piles on the floor, stacked this way and that, and in various arrangements in other people's houses. They tend to clump according to size, and sometimes they whisper, "Read me again!"

howdy bro,

a blessed solstice

nice to find you here

may there be peace on earth
Do you think Buddhist insight meditation (vipassana) entails a large neuronal gestalt with low arousal, or a normal-size neuronal gestalt with normal arousal? According to Susan Greenfield's model, the rate of time perception would seem to indicate the first possibility. I found that you had rated her book "Journey to the Centers of the Mind."
I've been crawling your LibraryThing, adding various titles to my wishlists. There are some truly excellent books here. Thanks again!
