Odd impulses

[mirrorshard]

I'm getting a really disturbing urge to read Atlas Shrugged, and I'm almost sure there's a copy on the bottom shelf at the foot of my bed. This is either some sort of weird hallucination (am I really posting to LJ? Am I dreaming I'm a butterfly?) or prima facie evidence of demonic possession.

Advice? Recommendations? Exorcisms?

Coincidentally, I've been having the strangest urge to read Mein Kampf of late. I thought it was just due to my usual desire to know what the fuss is all about, but perhaps there's a bad book demon doing the rounds of London?

It seems a worryingly plausible theory. Especially given that there actually was a copy of Atlas Shrugged where I thought there was.

Don't. I tried. It's like reading commenters on dailymail.co.uk.

It's been years since I attended/assisted a really good exorcism! Which do you prefer - pagan banishing at athame-point, or good old-fashioned bell, book and candle? Of course, for a bad book demon it really ought to be reading down....

It's pretty unreadable. I gave it a go when I was fourteen.

One Sentence from Einstein !

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge." - Albert Einstein !
