Life, the World, and All That
Taylor Caldwell and the Romance of Atlantis
Caldwell wrote the Romance of Atlantis when she was 12, based on a series of vivid dreams about Atlantis. It is a sophisticated work finally published 60 years later.

Bot book club reading pick: Maracot Deep, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1929 exploration of Atlantis.
The Book of the Month Club, or, What’s Bot Reading Now?

Are We a Universe, or a Speck? – the Macrocosm Inside
Turns out the universe looks like a neural network. Oddly, this is reminiscent of a vision I had when I was 7. Cool stuff.
Lizards wear t-shirts, too
Great dinosaur art t-shirt plugged here.
