If you could recomend any 3 books what would they be? I'll get the ball rolling.
1. The Thunder: Perfect Mind 2. The Marriage of Heaven and Earth by William Blake 3. The Book of Lambspring
These are the books that really inspired me spiritualy. I'm a major book worm and im going to make a serious atempt to read everything you guys suggest.

Always changing... but currently... they are:
On the Road - Jack Kerouac The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho Ultimate Journey - Robert Monroe
it was hard - wanted to include some Castaneda, Burroughs and Huxley... but not enough room!
