Current readings
I recently picked up a book by Malcom Muggeridge entitled "Christ in the Media". It is a fascinating, although to me somewhat difficult, read as he packs a lot of thought into a few words throughout. His basic premise is that media, specifically television, is a fantasy world that creates false expectations and delusions people from the truth. He links some results from this that in many cases I would have to agree with. I will report some thoughts at a later time. Has anyone else read much of Muggeridge?

Heard of him, but haven't read. But it made me think of another book called "Everyday Apocalypse" by David Dark, that takes the other position - media (well at least the kind like The Simpsons, Beck, Coen Brothers, The Matrix, etc.) can do the job of revealing the true nature of things and make us see ourselves rightly.
