Alfred Hitchcock's best film was Notorious. Stephen King has become a brand name. I doubt that he writes anything other than story outlines for ghost writers to expound upon. V.C. Andrews (Cleo Virginia Andrews, June 6, 1923 – December 19, 1986) is still writing tomes. Her mega-productive years are yet to come. I can't find an affinity with today's Western culture. I am pulled to the East. Much of what I enjoy emanates from the Orient, from music to women; to musical, Mongoloidal women. The last novel I read was The Decay of the Angel by Yukio Mishima (which was his last novel, finished the morning of the afternoon that he was beheaded). Feng Shui leads to astrological considerations that tire me to panic, because I'd have to be mindful of the placement of beds with relation to the flow of piped water. I've planted 2 dozen trees. Their location relative to topography must be considered. A picture of my wife's family fell from the wall & shattered the day she was to depart for Vietnam. She went anyway. Nothing came of it. Nancy planned Ronald Reagan's trips around stellar meanderings. He got shot all the same. Yoko did likewise with John Lennon. He got shot with 2 calibers of bullets: .357 & .38, and his autopsy records remain sealed to the public still yet. I live 35 miles from the spiritualist camp town of Cassadaga, Fla. I visited there once (in 1983). I'll not go back. Bad vibes.
