Thanks for the posting, great list, would also like to recommend this new book by Dr Gary Chapman -"Love is a Verb" It's all about love and relationships, very moving and inspiring true stories –

Great list! Thanks for posting this! I am pretty sure that I will find something here that can help me enlighten from the problems that I had experienced for the past few months.
Jeremy,
I'd love to see you hack Borg. Take your critical eye to Borg and - as a sympathetic reader - tell us where you see the cracks and questions.
Most readings of Borg I see are either critics who point out all his faults or fans who point out none of them. I'd love to have a critic who writes of his strengths or a fan who looks for his weaknesses.
John, thanks for the suggestion. I haven't read Borg's book since then (except for a paper in undergrad), so looking back might be an interesting exercise and, as you mention, perhaps a needed one.
