What beeth the definition of a genius per se? Is it a specimen of great knowledge or one that beholdeth great wisdom?

"the lucifer principle: a scientific expedition into the forces of history" by howard k. bloom

Should I ever find myself Exporing Minnesota, I may just take you up on that offer. :)

I've been wanting to read that book for a while now. I bought a DVD called 'Disinformation' and he was one of the featured guests. He had some pretty 'out there' ideas, but I like to read authors that challenge my perceptions of reality. I think I'll be headed to the local bookshop today...

The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. It's his first novel and it's a bit dated but still a good read.

I started reading iWoz from Steve Wozniack (sp?) sorry the book isn't next to me as I type this. When I finish that I'll start reading "Leadership" from Rudy Giuliani, then John Maxwell's book "The 360 Leader" so I've got a few books lined up for the next couple of weeks.
