What book to read?
    #6224211 - 10/29/06 03:05 PM (17 years, 4 months ago)

Most people have that one, or even two books in there mind that is an absolute must read recommendation.

I'm trying to decide what will be my next read for my free time, and would love to hear what other people's favorite books are.

My own recommendations for other people looking for a good book(s) is;
Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson, and also The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, by Carlos Castaneda.

Both amazing books.

Well, what about you guys?

Gary Zukav's books

Dave Eggers' books


--------------------
History says, Don't hope

On this side of the grave.

But then, once in a lifetime

The longed-for tidal wave

Of justice can rise up

And hope and history rhyme.

Well, I set my monkey on the log
And ordered him to do the Dog
He wagged his tail and shook his head
And he went and did the Cat instead
He's a weird monkey, very funky.

I was half tempted to order PiHKAL, but my chemistry sucks, I can barely keep up in lab practicals. I'm afraid of the book not being accessible to someone with limited chem experience.

Gotta mention that I love amazon, and being able to read excerpts and book info :smile:

Also anyone read DMT: The spirit molecule?
