I just finished reading Women by Charles Bukowski yesterday. (I love characters I can relate to.)

Today I think I might go get Man and His Symbols by Carl Gustav Jung 'cause--ever since my last mushroom trip a week ago, and every time I trip, I guess, for that matter--I can't shake the idea that all things are merely symbols.

Just started Even Cowgirls Get The Blues by Tom Robbins, who is such a great author. Also just checked out the complete works of E. E. Cummings from the library, to throw in a poem here and there.
Books in this thread I also hype:
Dharma Bums
DMT: The Spirit Molecule
Vonnegut!!!!!!
More Tom Robbins (Jitterbug Perfume)

Next: ????? Maybe one of the books in this thread. I hear Pynchon mentioned along with Vonnegut and Robbins, so...

Book threads are always great. You remember all the ones you've been wanting to read that have slipped your mind, and all the ones you've already read that have become so much a part of you you take them for granted.

CRime and Punishment was a good read. I am kind of reading a fantasy novel by R.A. Salvatore, but I haven't picked it up in a few weeks. Damn summer and it's fun festivities!!:crankey:

I really want to read this copy of Searching for the Sound, by Phil Lesh, but he is such a douche that I might not ever get around to it.

If you're into computers at all, let me recommend In the Beginning was the Command Line by Neil Stevenson (I think.)


--------------------
The story goes, or the way that I was told
There was a king that always felt too high and then he fell too low
And so he called all the wise men to the hall
And begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls
But here’s the thing, they came back with a ring
It was simple and was plainly unbefitting of a king
Engraved in black, it had no front or back
But there were words around the band that said
Just know: This Too Shall Pass

Summer makes it so easy to put down a book and forget to pick it back up again. :frown:

Summer makes it easier for me to read, but then again, I tend to sit at home a lot...

Suprisingly, summer if when I get most of my reading done. I've already put away like five or six books since school ended.

I need to read a TON when I'm in Europe. I'm aiming to churn through five books in the month.

All the time on trains you have two choices of book types.

Choice chiseled checkloslvokian chicks
or Chuck Norris Chilli cook off.

Both books would be a great read. I know it will be a blast.
Have a bottle of wine, a book, a lot of time, and an open mind.

How exciting. Imagine the faces of the people over there. Wow.

I was really on a good track earlier in May, but I have slacked off a bit recently. I read Stephen King's The Stand (1200 pages) in six days.

I guess having a job slows me down now as well.

I hung out with Ani two nights ago, just smoked a bunch of herb and listened to music and looked at maps and at all of her pictures from Wakarusa and Bonnaroo, I'm so jealous she got to meet Elijah (not to mention his esteemed parents), she was gushing over him. :tongue:

Yeah the pictures were grrrrrreat. :grin:

RandalFlagg gave me a copy of The Brothers Karamazov at the Canadian Ski Gathering but it's just too hefty for me to bring along in my pack, I gotta keep shit light.  I dunno, I'll probably bring Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins and a couple of others TBD.  Definitely bringing my tiny book of William Blake poetry.

Thats great. I just finished Half Asleep in frog pajamas, Tom Robbins. it was a good read that mirrored many events in my life right now, like most good books do. Then, after i started posting, i noticed that the first post suggested Food of the Gods - McKenna, which is alluded to many times in this book. if youre addicted to your synchonicities then read this.

next up: the autobiography of Malcom X, i hear its the one of the best autobiographies ever written.
