Anything by Friedrich Nietzsche... I started with "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" but any of his books will do.

Yeah Alan Watts is pretty awesome. I'll double vouch for him.

What others said, Alan Watts is really accessible and a great read. It's refreshing to read a deep book free of pretentions and erroneous bs.

Reefer, I think all of the Dalai Lama's books are great reads as well.

:hippie:

You're thinking of The Celestine Prophecy Gomp.

While not particularly well written, it is a good introduction to some very useful principles...

That is correct. And I could not agree more! Well put!

I read all three books. Old news to me, but neatly presented, and catching story. Some of the few books that just kept me reading. To find out what happens next, and next and next.. :p

Alan Watts is :blowjob: though.

I'm currently reading Gödel Escher Bach : An Eternal Golden Braid.
I have over 1gb of philosophy books in pdf format if you want any.

The Tao of Pooh or The Tao of Piglet or really any of the Pooh characters, this is a great series especially if you are down
Thus Spoke Zarathustra was a good suggestion..
Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz

I like reading anything Mckenna wrote, Simulacra and Simulations by Jean Baudrillard is extremely dense, but the parts I understood - I fucking LOVED. The unabomber's manifesto is a cool read. Walden by Henry David Thoreau, Alan Watts is golden, uhhh yeah. Those should keep you busy. :thumbup:

Great thread btw
