Title: The History of Hell
Post by: chaoticpsyche on December 02, 2010, 12:04:42 PM: It's a book Called the History of Hell by Alice K. Turner. It's a really good presentation about how Hell came about, it not only covers Catholic, and Christian versions but also many religions and how hell came to be. It also has really pretty pictures. <:smurf

I read most of it, but I think I have ADHD it's always hard for me to finish most books, even with really pretty pictures lol, I tend to look more at the pictures than the actual text on the pages. :p

Huh. I find your bashing funny, as a guy who doesn't even know a Wendigo's modus operandi after reading about one on monstropedia. :roll:

@CP - good book choice. The illustrations are nice, too.

Post by: chaoticpsyche on December 19, 2010, 10:16:22 AM: I doubt that there will be a movie on this book, and cylinder I got to page 23 before I started to look at the pictures. It's very interesting information, I just have a very short attention span.

The "customers also bought" list was pretty interesting.

Particularly, "Introduction to Clinical Psychology (7th Edition)"

Post by: Ravening on January 09, 2011, 03:01:40 PM: A clinical psychologist would probably have a field day diagnosing and trying to fix some people here. pfft to that. Diagnoses are merely labels and fixing is unnecessary; we're not broken.
But psychology is interesting, of course.
