The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

An editorial style presentation that brings to life many things people that consume porn tend to ignore or hide while consuming. This was a tiny peek into the people and perception of porn.

Interesting short read on a live porn show
Overall it was humerous, entertaining and insightful. It would have been more interesting if it had been a deeper and broader dive into porn in general, Perhaps this will become a sort of series about porn.

Engaging but tedious
I had high hopes for this book and in some ways it was good and others not. The good issues with this book were the situations which the author describes. Some were downright funny and I found them well written. The not so good issues were the tedious references using gender (male) in a negative light. The females in the book, both customers and porn actresses were mostly described as total victims while the men were all mostly described as perverted mental wolves. The author was more than careful to portray the females as victims of mental health issues but did not allow the males the same consideration. If a man is masturbating in public that, in and of itself, displays a mental health issue. However, the author simply portrayed such behavior as being practiced by perverts where a call to the local police to arrest the pervert was extremely satisfying to her. I wonder if a call to a crisis worker for intervention might have worked better?
The other issue I had with the book was the teen girlish attempt at cynicism and edginess that pervades the book. It's a constant presence that leaves you feeling as though you're listening to a teen girl attempting to be edgy and cynical in order to appear special. I would have liked it better if the author had allowed the book to stand on its own merits. There was much good interesting material but I found the cynicism more than a bit tiresome.
I had hopes for a book that would help describe the hidden life a people who frequent porn. What are they privately into, who are they and how do they practice their porn consumption. In many ways this book did not disappoint in that area. However, the negative aspects were a bit tough to get past although I did manage it. It's only 45 minutes so I was able to roll my eyes a bit and endure it for the good parts.

Snobbery
The author makes it pretty clear that she's only watching the show just to get interviews for a report and that she's not into porn, so we automatically know what kind of report she's writing: an elitist snobbish piece, and all we have to do to verify this is to listen through to the end where she basically forces herself to say one nice thing. I was looking for erotic fiction or nonfiction and got what amounts to a dry book report. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for this, or I'd have been asking for a refund halfway through.
