Any Book Recommendations?
    #5918051 - 07/31/06 09:29 AM (16 years, 7 months ago)

Does anyone have any book recommendations? I saw "A Scanner Darkly" yesterday and I am planning on ordering the book. I'd like to add a few more things to make the order worthwhile.

Shame on you if you only read books about drug use. :monkeydance:

Another Philip K. Dick book, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"...the movie Blade Runner was based on it. It is great.
Also, Neuromancer by William Gibson is really good.

I would suggest "Haunted" by Chuck Palahniuk

What kind of books are you into? I mostly read non-fiction, most of which is either on political or spiritual subjects. I can give you some reccomendations if either of these topics interest you.

despisedicon, you are an idiot. Where in my post does it say I only want to read books about drug use?

To all others who posted suggestions, thank you, thats what I was looking for.

Silversoul, I haven't really read many books in either of those genres and would definitely be open to some recommendations.

"Cosmic Trigger" by Robert Anton Willson was my most resent read, I highly recomend it.

Well, I recommend reading Natural Capitalism, by Paul Hawken and Amory Lovins. It's about how we can have both a prosperous economy and a sustainable environment without sacrificing either.

On the spiritual side, I recommend Zig Zag Zen. It's a compilation of writings about Buddhism, psychedelics, and the counterculture.

"Dune" by Frank Herbert

"The Great and Secret Show" by Clive Barker


--------------------
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”

I suggest "A collection of Short Stories and Poems" by Edgar Allen Poe. The stories included are such a breath of fresh air, in terms of complete originality. It's quite safe to say the experience will be a huge leap from today's mundane.

Unless you've really studied Poe's work, your going to find almost all of this stuff new. It's just a massive collection of his work.
