Favorite's favorite but too expensive

It seems my favorite blog author is publishing a book on my favorite theologian. No wonder he stopped theology blog posts for quite some time now and has started fiction. The book with a special offer cost 60 UK pounds at eden.co.uk. Now I will have to find some justification to buy it at that really high price or just patiently wait and pray till somehow it drops in price.

Update : One bookseller has suggested the age group for this book. I wish 15-20 year olds could read this book. I know that if I had read it at that age I would definitely not be able to understand much.

Where I call myself home??

From a site that scares me. Now should I be happy that I was born in Kuwait and live there rather than in my mother's birthland, India. Should I revisit my, 'sort of decision' no to attempt to live in the US? The numbers below should make my choice really easy if I consider myself a ideal economic person. One who makes cool, calculated, rational choices after consideration of all the variables. O for a light that shines and illuminates the murky future...

New Year obligation to post

The Acceleration of Addictiveness: "What hard liquor, cigarettes, heroin, and crack have in common is that they're all more concentrated forms of less addictive predecessors. Most if not all the things we describe as addictive are. And the scary thing is, the process that created them is accelerating."

God this year and every year, save me from my need nay my visceral attraction to faster, slimmer, safer, shinier, cheaper toys that promise to give me convenience, peace of mind and other therapeutic benefits.
