So far, it's great.

Chomsky is a genius with words.

Before I read Chomsky, I thought a Linguistics major couldn't be good for much beyond teaching Linguistics.

Even though I haven't picked them up in a while I'm reading The Cosmic Serpent which is about the link between psychadelic use and shamanic knowledge, especially in South America, and the Gunslinger. They're both great so far.

Jack Kerovac The Dharma Bums

Yeah a collegue actually is reading that and recommended it. I don't know much about it though...can you give me a brief synopsis?

Thanks, by the way. I've been looking for a book like that for a while.

Some might argue you were right in the first place.

By the way, The Book is pretty kickass. Alan Watts was a smart and articulate man.

I'm in the middle of DMT: The Spirit Molecule. Very good book, brings up some very interesting points and makes me wanted to play around with some naptha and lye. :smile:
Also from time to time I'm reading from The Teachings Of Don Carlos, which is pretty good. :smile:

It has been a long time since I read it.  But, I think I can give you a brief summary of it:

Jack Kerouac hitched rides all over America and did a bunch of stuff. 

Tada!  :smirk:

Anthony Storr - Feet Of Clay (HarperCollins ISBN:0006384234)

I love this book. I've read it a couple of times now.

It's a study of gurus from David Koresh to Jesus. It explores the wide range of motivations behind their need to gain followers and the equally wide range of motivations that drive people to follow them. It makes interesting comparisons between their indestructible belief systems and modern science. Covering about ten gurus in 280 pages it?s not the most comprehensive study available on any individual but it?s an interesting psychological investigation.

Highly Recommended
