I have a pretty large library of spiritual books myself. I actually met Alanis once, I'm sure she does not even remember, in Los Angeles at the old iconic Bodhi Tree bookstore. And sat at a table next to her right down the street at the Urth Caffe for lunch. Sadly the Bodhi Tree bookstore closed a few years ago. One of the saddest days for Los Angeles. That bookstore was such a valuable Beacon for the growth of so many...
