Lily Dale, the book: yet another disappointment in my continued efforts to research Spiritualism. The author spends far too much time regurgitating her personal impressions and not enough time expanding upon the rich history of this enchanting place. This might have been bearable if the author was somewhat interesting but she's a total bore.

Some more positive notes: I desperately want to meet all of the inhabitants of this scarcely populated town. And I'd like to visit there. Not even shoddy writing could take that from me. I also found the couple who use witching rods to grocery shop to be fascinating. I intend to tell my boyfriend's parent's about it this weekend. The book also mentioned several other studies on Lily Dale/Spiritualism that I intend to read immediately. I've added them all to my "to-read list" as they all seem to be written by intelligent enlightened souls who might shed some light on this topic (eg: Carl Jung and Einstein among others).
