SB: 1 or God Karl Maddox; But Why's the Rum Gone? Johnny Depp

"But Why's the Rum Gone?" (Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean)

When an actor can deliver a line like "But Why's the Rum Gone?" with the same depth and angst as the philosophical line: "But why are we here (on this planet, in this solar system, etc.)," he probably "gets it." as much as anyone can. So it was with interest that I read the Johnny Depp review on Amazon of the THE GOD CODE: The Secret of Our Past, the Promise of Our Future by Gregg Braden. I had some interest in the book, but after reading Depp's review, I figured I would skip THE GOD CODE. Instead I ordered SB: 1 OR GOD by Karl Maddox which Depp recommended in his review.

So, I'll let you know.

I have a lopsided stack of books sitting on my coffee table - lopsided as in ready to topple over, but also lopsided in content. Have you ever read MIDDLEMARCH? I'm tired of hearing how great this classic is; it's on the list. So are FOLLOW THE RIVER, DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY, JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR. NORRELL, a Clancy book, a Critchon novel and MY FATHER'S DRAGON which was a childhood favorite I ordered it for my grandson but can't wait to read the stories (3) again myself. The author is Ruth Stiles Gannett - it's got that BABAR look to the artwork, so I'll bet (and hope) it's French in origin.

The French. Seems they "get it" as well.
