I got religions!! This post brought to you by Barnes & Noble.

Today, I read a book, and I got religions! A few, maybe. Here is the book:

The Savvy Convert's Guide to Choosing a Religion

Knock Knock

It was kind of like a Consumer Reports style comparison of 99 religions. It was super informative to me, a person who has really never gotten familiar with religion. Besides a brief excursion into Wicca. So here is what I narrowed it down to, in no particular order (in addition to what I've always considered myself, Agnostic):

Transcendentalism (not to be confused with Transcendental Meditation)
Deism
Secular Humanism
Unitarian Universalism
Ethical Culture
Science of Mind

Now I have to research these. It is a little exciting to think I could fit into a group of people that think and feel like me. Agnostics are kind of spiritually aloof. By definition, I guess.

I also bought a book! As opposed to just reading it in the store, due to semi-poverty:

Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World

Vicki Myron

It is a true story about Dewey, a kitten who was abandoned in the overnight bookdrop, and became the library's mascot! I heard he died (at age 19!!), but I hope it will still be a good book!

Also:

Radar Magazine September 2008 What's So Scary About Michelle Obama

I just found Radar, but I really like it! It has neat graphics and talks about pop culture, but not like "OMG! Look at how good LiLo looks now that she's out of rehab!!!!!!!1!!!!!111"

Speaking of cool magazines, whatever happened to Tango and Nest? Are they dead? I will look them up on the internet, when I get the motivation and patience to wait the certain 15 minutes it will take to load their defunct websites.
