I just started Raymond Chandler's "The Big Sleep," his first novel about private detective Philip Marlowe.

All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

"The Psychadelic Experience" by Timothy Leary and company... Served it's purpose quite nicely when I was tripping in the wilderness for 8 days

Hey blissed.
I love both the Leary books you guys are reading, though only parts of T.I., T.O., D.O. really do it for me.

right now i'm rereading the song of ice and fire series, but i haven't read in like a week and a half. i have a really bad habit of getting half way through books and not finishing them.
if anyone wants a recommendation read house of leaves by mark danielewski. you'll thank me later.

I are reading The Book of Nonsense by Edward Lear.
There was an Old Person of Spain,
Who hated all trouble and pain;
So he sat on a chair,
With his feet in the air,
That umbrageous Old Person of Spain.

this stuff is amazing..I think I had a dream about reading a fasinating book, but I woke up and found out I must have been bored over the same old things in life, that is most likely why I dreamt it...

In the middle of Shunryu Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind

They compliment eachother nicely.
