> Black Box Voting, Ballot Tampering in the 21st Century by Bev Harris

> Bloodlines of the Illuminati by Fritz Springmeier

These two were the most interesting on the list to me. Not sure why he cared about the first , but the second (and other titles about conspiracies) is really strange to me. Has anyone here read that book?

Interestingly enough there's also an occult-related book called The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly Hall (1928). That book is more or less an overview of esoteric beliefs in the West. Why was he fascinated in this stuff?

It's very possible some of those were simply gifts.
