See this, it may also widen your view and give it a distinct accuracy.

Jonah is good. He had a dispute with Frum, I think, that was kind of amusing.
Its a shame how much reading I have available that would "widen my view and give it a distinct accuracy" but not yet taken advantage of. From where I am, I can see on the bookshelf: Big black book of communism, Liberalism is a mental disorder, several books by Dinesh D'Souza, and others like that. Luckily, favorites of mine like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Michelle Markin, David Limbaugh, and others on Townhall.com are always available online. Limited amounts of Rush & Glenn Beck are good, I think. History lessons (on Beck's TV show) are off-putting to me, though.
Now I am name-dropping. sheesh. But I am being honest with myself.
All this to say that the reading of fiction and the tendency toward mysticism is not all bad. They provide a balance to the stresses of work, home, and current events. Heh.
