Wonderful pieces of literature we should all read.  The Tibetan Book of
the 
Dead, even Plato's Timaes, and The Republic, maybe the Pistis Sophia.  Al 
could be enlightening.  But thsoe are  not the kind of book  curmudgeon
was 
considering for his particular study.
And what, pray tell, is the Pagan Christ?
