I've this quote from George Meredith's Victorian novel The Egoist written in calligraphy in a prominent place at home: "The lover who cannot wound has indeed lost anchorage; he is woefully adrift: he stabs air, which is to stab himself. Her complacent proof-armour bids him know himself supplanted." I loved The Sexual Life of Catherine M . I just ordered Cosmos and Psyche by Richard Tarnas, supposed to be the most revolutionary work on the nature of evolution and consciousness since The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. I consult The Combination of Stellar Influneces by Rheinhold Ebertin quite often. Secrets of the Vaulted Sky by David Berlinski is a colorful socio-cultural "faction" of the history of astrology. Harry Crews : CAR, THE KNOCKOUT ARTIST, and FEAST OF SNAKES, especially. Also, The Confessions of Wanda von Sacher Masoch , and the unabridged JOURNALS OF SYLVIA PLATH, F.
