Free ebooks from Iain Spence


Iain Spence, mentioned in this recent blog post, has announced that all three of his currently available ebooks are being made available free Saturday and Sunday. 

"All three titles will be free over the weekend, worldwide. No restrictions. I'm not sure if they'll appear by way of east coast or west coast time in the USA. I do know that they (Amazon) go by US time and not UK when it comes to Kindle Direct, but I don't know which zone," he reports.

Links (for the U.S. Amazon, listed in order of publication): 

The Hare Hypothesis: The Quest for Wholeness Within Atavistic Pop Culture; blurb: "The Hare Hypothesis invites us to view pop cultural trends in relation to the four Life Positions of Optimistic Weakness, Pessimistic Weakness, Optimistic Strength and Pessimistic Strength. The study views pop cultural trends as atavistic symbols.

"An exploration of Timothy Leary's Interpersonal Diagnosis of Personality with special emphasis on pop cultural trends of a symbolic nature. The book also includes essays on the origins of the four Life Positions in folklore, children's stories and in the four classical humours. It ends with an analysis of quaternities which crop up in modern literature." 

Dreams of the Hare. Blurb: "Essays on The Hare Hypothesis, the current fuss over gender fluidity, the cult of celebrity, quaternary symbolism in mythology and the works of Robert Anton Wilson."

The Breath of the Hare. Blurb: "A series of essays by Iain Spence."

Thank you for sharing the links here. I hope you're on the mend. Which reminds me, I must buy some vitamin Ds for the winter.
