Thank You Jackie – those look promising. I tried various combos of monk+kite+looney fraud and the like, but got nothing that jogged my memory like these did. (Somehow), I’m on good terms with the librarians of our small town’s two libraries, but we only found “Dr.” Tuesday’s Chapters of Life. That one is more Madame Blavatsky-like. I like the message; promoting contemplation and peacefulness, just don’t ask me for money or my first born.
wow, it seems like you got it too! Rampa it is. I’ll let you know which ones are the adventure stories when I finally get my eyes on them again.
I’d be well served by Jackie’s book of Googling Tips too, etaoin.
jheem, do you know what the cat’s native tongue was?
Thank you all. You’re amazing.
OK, what am I thinking now…?
PS When I do "Check spelling" here, the alternate choices are so interesting and unusual. I wonder if this is by design.
