Here are the last books of the year...
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE being able to down load FREE books to my Kindle to read? It is awesome!
The Prayers of Agnes Sparrow by Joyce Magnin. This was another free download to my Kindle and I enjoyed it.
What the Dog Saw and other adventures by Malcolm Gladwell. This is a collection of some of his New Yorker articles. Definitely thought provoking, as usual!
I would like to get one more book read to get me to 65 books for the year. Not that it really matters, but that seems like a nice, round number!

Eating Animals
Aren’t humans amazing Animals? They kill wildlife - birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice and foxes by the million in order to protect their domestic animals and their feed.
Then they kill domestic animals by the billion and eat them. This in turn kills people by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - - health conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and cancer.
So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing millions of more animals to look for cures for these diseases.
Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.
Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and once a year send out cards praying for "Peace on Earth."
