If you're out there Al, this ones for you.

Our forebears, Adam and Eve, sought to become "like gods" without God, relying on the magical power of the beautiful "apple." This is how many of our contemporaries dream of being saved: with the Gospel, but without the Church and without the God-man. They hope on the book of the Gospel exactly as Adam and Eve hope on the paradise apple. The book, however, does not have the power to give them a new life.
    St. Hilarion (Troitsky)

Have you ever read House of Leaves ? I bet you'd like it a whole lot. I'm an avid reader, and a muser as well.
