In Search Of The Miraculous
by P.D. Ouspensky  (this book contains fierce truth, seriously) :sun::sun::sun::sun:



If you dig Tim Leary, Robert Anton Wilson or Ram Dass, you will love this interactive book.

Im not going to state this as fact, but maybe some other people who have read both Stranger in a Strange land and A brave new world can chime in.

But I think that Stanger in a Strange Land was better written, and has just as much "food for thought" as A Brave New World. Huxley wrote so dry and has always had very robotic and unrealistic dialogue. His only saving grace, IMO, is his actualization he creates in the reader for being not poetically detailed, but rather detailed in realistic scenarios of fictional accounts.
Stranger in a Strange Land is very visceral and extremely captivating every single page.

I started reading "Island" and am enjoying it very much. It's hard to put down.

I think Huxley can right some pretty decent dialogue though it's not always filled with emotion he can really capture human thought..

The best Fear & Loathing is "On the Campaign Trail 72" - we are in for a crazy ride this year and Hunter S ought to be around for it...
