My fave Books? |
Hey, I'm genX -we don't read!
-Just kidding.
Michael Moorcock writes good junk fiction and can be addictable.
Yukio Mishima is just plain amazing.
Mostly I read computer manuals, comicbooks and books relating
to mysticism .
Mysticism: Aleister Crowley's Magick Without Tears (perhaps
his only book not designed to grossly mislead), The Wilhelm translated
I-Ching, The Golden Bough, by Frazer, The Hare
Krishna Bhagavad-Gita (The translation and notes make
it very approachable), The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels,
Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler (the best into to
modern paganism), The Golden Dawn from Israel Regardie
(an encyclopedia of western ceremonial magic), stuff from and
about the SUFI and the Kabballah, C.S. Lewis' various and the
Cosmic Trigger series from Robert Anton Wilson..also King
James and Catholic Bibles, The Koran, The Upanisads,
various Buddhist Sutras (Thich Naht Hahn{sp!} does good
translations and commentary)...

Japanese MAI the Psychic Girl , Squeak the Mouse
