And here are the Top hundred bestsellers about dreams

I had a great massage late friday afternoon. Then I bought more books:

Josephus: The Jewish war

Describes the Jewish uprising against the Romans 66-73 A.D, ending with the fall of Masada and the legendary mass suicide. When I visited Masada in 1989 I hadn’t read the original story.
Ray Monk: 1921-1970, The ghost of madness

The second part of Monk’s Bertrand Russell biography.
Basho: On love and barley
Haiku poems
Boethius: The Consolation of Philosophy

Last work of Roman philosopher executed in AD 525
Hilary Rose & Steven Rose: Alas, Poor Darwin

An antology with criticism of evolutionary psychology
Allan Hobson: Dreaming as delirium

A well-known psychiatrist and dream researcher speculates about why we dream.

I’m intrigued by Stackless Python. The concept of continuations is mind-expanding - but I didn’t know it was that close to being added to Python.
