I just finished reading On The Road by Jack Kerouac, really really an awesome book!
Makes me want to hop in a car and drive straight down to the Land of Fire.
I am about to start another one, The Tarahumaran by Antonin Artaud, it is written by a surrealist poet, just before he gets interned into an asylium. The guy went to Mexico (in 1936) to learn about its history and write a theatre thang from it, but instead deciced to go to a really really isolated region, where he met the Tarahumaras, a nation of natives americans, who often perform peyote circle rituals, a bit like in Castaneda's A Separate Reality. I am pretty sure I will like it to be honest!

This is why I like to keep this thread alive, lots of books suggestion, its kinda fun to see everyone's taste for books!
I also bought 2 other books last week,
The Tibetan Book of the Deads
And also The Yage Letters, by William S. Burroughs & Allan Ginsberg
I can't wait to read both!

I tried giving it a read but only got 40 pages into it. It's written by a female so it's hard for me to grasp. everything is just some college chick blushing over this rich dude

I didnt make it that far, although I was getting close. Not sure if I still have the ebook on my computer or not. I dont know, I couldnt stand her writing style. It seemed like it was written by a 15 year old girl. The writing was terrible
Fractal- That is an awesome read!!!
I just finished the first book called "infinity," and working on "invincible," now which are the first 2 books in a Saga called "The Chronicles of Nick," by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It's kind of a vampire, zombie, Ancient God's saga involving a young man who grows up through the series and finds out that he has powers to control the dead and shit. It's just my bathroom/ pool book but it keeps me entertained between the violence, humor, and the romance scenes.
I am also working on "The Republic," by Plato. Which is a fucking aweeeesome read, it is just very deep and complex and takes a lot of time to get through little parts of the book because the concepts are deep.

ive been readig the golden compass
trying to half the compass in my head
I need my old compass again, which only showed one direction, the one I needed to go
these days the compass has not been working too well
I stopped reading when the little girl entered the land of the dead and lost her most precious love in the entire world
I think the book broke my heart or something
:/

I've definately got to get back to the bookstore soon!
In the middle of reading: "The illustrated encyclopedia of natural remedies" by C Norman Shealy.
Will probably either get another plant I.D. book, a chemistry book, or psychedelic philosophy.

I love how the book really challenges you mentally. Like, you read a paragraph and then you have to sit there for a second and let it digest.

I have an awesome .pdf of "General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry," by Smith. It's just under 1000 pages, but probably one of the best Chemistry resources I have come across.
