Sinclair Lewis and 'Babbitt'
AMERICAN CULTURE is often hard to dissect. Yet some writers like Sinclair Lewis do a marvelous job of telling an engaging, Americanistic culture-shock story. The Sinclair Lewis novel 'Babbitt' is an amazing creative and robustly satiric story of a middle-aged man mired in the weird transitions of his life of proverbial ups and downs.

A Good, Warm Spring Day
THE WEATHER IS FINE NOW. I love a really good Spring day like this one. I am reading super John Keats poetry today and listening to the melodic man of Jazz, Mr. Stan Getz.

Mystery Novelists
POWERHOUSE mystery writers like Mickey Spillane and Elmore Leonard are a super segment of American literary culture. Reading Leonard is a marvelous experience. Just like listening to B. B. King.

My Faith and My Religion
RELIGION feels so fantastic, so marvelous to me. I am older now and I realize my feelings of faith and indeed my religion happen to be what adds so much zest to my Southern man's life. My love for God helps me keep my feisty motor running. Listening to Chopin and J. Cash and Coltrane vividly brings so much to my religious, strong soul. Loving all the world's marvelous cultures is a tremendous experience.
Sigmund Freud and Dream Modes
INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS by Sigmund Freud rattles the synapses of the brain. Freud has a brilliant, cogent, shrewd psychic capacity for articulate meanderings into the torpid arenas of what all of us are thinking. Some loons cite his ideas as only so much psycho-babble but I beg to disagree. The sensual and engagingly vivid sentences of Mr. Freud can assist us terrifically in grasping new minutes of esoteric and grand joys in our attempts at realizing more potent and sleek emotional higher depths of feeling. The absurdity of crass simpleton thinking modes come spashing down in the torrents of high waters representing Freud's thinking modes. When we study dreams as Freud admonishes then we develop a more cultured and imaginative point of view that can serve us well in this our rather chaotic panorama that is the shaking, silly horror of the 21st Century. Grand is the elegance propounded by Freud in his dissection of weird foibles inherent in the lives of men and women.
