Neil Gaiman - 'Sandman: A Dream Of A Thousand Cats'

"book 4 by Aleister Crowley"
You shouldn't read Liber ABA until you have read Liber vel Jugorum. As far as crowlian yoga goes, Liber vel Jugorum is the first two steps. You don't want to start doing yoga(liber aba is based on yoga) until you've mastered those two or you could potentially go insane like Krishna.

Doing pranayama and the asanas(energy working) come well after you've learned to control your mind, because you don't want energy in places in your mind that could 'activate your mind' when you can't control it properly. It can actually make you quite sick, especially if you are considering the asanas as a means to moving/freeing blood throughout the body.

I'm reading Cosmic Trigger by robert anton wilson. Good book.

Are the new Dark Tower series worth reading?

The Stand - Stephen King

Its funny you should mention that because I just finished reading the first two books in the series and am starting up on the third one. I've really liked what I've read so far but I've heard some pretty steep criticisms about the later books.

Battle Royale: Volume 1 - Koushun Takami

Dean Koontz "Forever Odd." I read the first one "Odd Thomas" and that was great. This one hasn't grabbed me yet.

I just finished reading the third Dark Tower story, Charlie the Choo-Choo train has got to be the best example of foreshadowing I've ever seen in a book.

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes can't understand what happens unless you understand how it all began.

I'm kind of reading three books:

"Lucy's Child" by Donald Johanson and James Shreeve - It'st he sequel to Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind. It's about paleoanthropology. :eek

"The Blank Slate" by Steven Pinker - I just finished "How the Mind Works" and was enamored so I picked this up :eek

"Under the Banner of Heaven: A History of Violent Faith" by Jon Krakauer - It's about freaky polygamist Mormons. :eek

Just finished: Darren Shan - Trials of Death
Now reading: Darren Shan - The Vampire Prince

The Stand - Stephen King

Cell-Stephen King

The Dark Tower VII by Stephen King
(We sure do like his novels, no?)

i don't

I bought that "Fastfood nation" book and will be reading it on the plane tomorrow

I read that back in '02 for a Social Science class. The professor thought that we needed to be rounded out by something contemporary. I loved it, but the writing is banal and predictable. All journalistic articles of the past decade have the exact same structure to them (NOT the inverted pyramid), and Schlosser begins each and every chapter like he's doing a human interests piece in US Weekly. I guess it's because modern Americans don't like reading about facts and figures unless they're written as being one investigator's quest for the truth, which incidentally happens to be a bunch of facts and figures.

I read Catch 22 by Joseph Heller when I'm not reading literature for my thesis.
I just finished Foucault's Pendulum which was one of my favourite books so far.

Jonny Couth:
I've been meaning to pick up Hesse again when I get the time, I really enjoyed Goldmund and Narcissus. Tell me what you thought of Siddharta when you're done with it

Koroshiya 1, book 10, page where Kakihara's penis gets chopped in half.

Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein

The movie just took out all of the good parts and replaced them with action scenes.
It made interesting points about Value, Morals, and Character.
Very, Very Good.
Has my personal recommendation.

Heavy Metal: May 2oo6

I'm getting ready to read "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon.

After that I'll be reading "Cell" by Stephen King. I hope that is a good one.

finished "Cyberia" by Douglass Rushkoff last night. I chose Communication Studies as my major because I had just read a couple books by him and he's supposed to be a "media theorist", but then I found out it wasn't a real major.

Fistful of Blood by Kevin Eastman and Simon Bisley.

I love rooting around old secondhand bookshops, and the other day I came across this old Kipling book of poems for £2.50, Songs From Books. It intrigued me because of the swastika on the cover, and also because the quality of paper and printing was so much better than today's issues. Of course Kipling used the swastika because it was an ancient Indian sign of good luck and peace and when the Nazis started to use the symbol he stopped using it. But I still felt a bit self-consciousÂ*when I bought it, and it reminded me of Winston Smith furtively buying an old diary in '1984'. Anyway although I don't usually like poetry much, I enjoyed reading it and I recommend it.

Also I'm enjoying reading Jarhead by Anthony Swofford.
