need book suggestions for creating better models of the world
    #5952128 -

Well I'm looking to start a small library of non-fiction books and some culturally significant books like the quaran. These books are for self development and a better understanding of the world. Any suggestions?

truth isn't only in non-fiction. I have gained more insight from fictional books by authors such as Tom Robbins and Carlos Casteneda than I have from non-fiction books.

True but I just wanted to steer clear from the literary equivalent of popular television.

well, just dont read the Da Vinci Code and you will be fine then....

just go to the book store and spend a few hours loafing and skimming. About once every 6 months I do that and come back with about 12 books: a few on Quantum Physics, a biography of Caligula, one about lucid dreaming, Tom Robbins short stories, essays and articles, and one from Raymond Kurzweil regarding the technological Singularity.

I don't consider books like the Quran, the bible, the tibetan book of the dead etc to be non-fiction.

neither do I, that's why I also said culturally significant books. I feel that they are excellent resources for learning about the motives of millions of people and where they are coming from. Ummmm... make that hundreds of millions.

look up john lilly's "metaprogramming in the human biocomputer" if you haven't already... full text can be found online.

i'd say better to watch other poeple for models than get it from books.
