Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't by me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Alien Art by Gordon R. Dickson

Alien Art by Gordon R. Dickson


It could be a decade since I read a Dickson. I'm finally getting around to reading some of the many, many books I've collected.  Dickson's been deceased for more than 25 years, yet his voice and his symbolism still flourish. 

This book demonstrates the power of symbolism and how it can change the face of society. 

It also shows that our nation has lacked a cohesive symbolism.  We, as a nation, need something to bring us together, rather than drive us apart.  

A book published in 1973 drives home the need people have for something to believe, something to follow, something that satisfies the urge to be better than we are. 

Dickson is gone but his power lives on.
