still reading "the Spear of Destiny" by Trevor Ravenscroft. it's a supposedly true book about how Hitler got hold of the Spear of Longinus (the spear which, supposedly again, pierced the side of Christ) and attempted to use its power to conquer the world. apparently the spear has some sort of supernatural powers. it also delves into a bunch of "grail theory" type stuff and even some alchemy.

it's a very heady read, and one that I am taking slow so that I can really grasp all of the concepts that are discussed.
