BOOKS ... WHAT'S THAT?

"BLUE" JIMMY: OCCULT RESEARCHER

BLIND DOG OZZY:  NEUROTIC CHIHUAHUA

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Books are essential when you're doing any kind of research.  

BD OZZY:  People these days rely on the Internet and ebooks for all their information but wait and see --  when the Internet shuts down and all your online information disappears, you'll be sitting forlorn, fingering your useless electronic devices while the Old Ones are extracting ageless wisdom from well-worn but timeless pages of learning.

"BLUE" JIMMY: Dude!

BD OZZY:  What did we get at the library this week?


"BLUE" JIMMY:  Some good stuff!  For fans of Dan Brown and The Da Vinci Code, you'll be glad to know that there are other authors who do their history homework and write in similar scholarly fashion.  Steve Berry's "The Alexandria Link" is an international adventure which deals with the lost Library of Alexandria and the unsavory Men of Greed who pursue its contents.  Javier Sierra goes even further into esoteric territory with "The Lost Angel" a tale of humanity's efforts to communicate with the divine and the fascinating historical and scientific mysteries that have to be unraveled in the process, wrapped in a delicious, page-turning adventure.  Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum" is a masterpiece of storytelling in which we bear witness to Eco's encyclopedic knowledge of The Templars, secret societies and occult history.  To be honest, I read this book all the way through twice and I still have no idea what it's about.  But the incredible amount of knowledge that went into this work is a tribute to one of fiction's most erudite and educated authors.  I feel like I took a college course after reading this book.


BD OZZY:  Talk about educated,  Zecharia Sitchin's "The End of Days: Armageddon and Prophecies of the Return" was on the used book sale shelf and was worth a read.  Sitchin, whose ability to read ancient Sumerian tablets puts him in a league of his own, attempts to reveal the origins of humanity, civilization and the whole ball of s**t in one book.  An unabashed, obsessed fanatic, Sitchens's books are scholarly, meticulously researched and utterly unreadable as a stack of municipal zoning ordinances.  But hey, he laid the groundwork for more sexy authors like Graham Hancock and David Icke.


"BLUE" JIMMY:  Paper rocks man, nothing like having a good solid book in your hands!


BD OZZY:  Amen!


"BLUE" JIMMY:  Sakes Alive!


BD OZZY:  Wow! Wow!
