What book(s) are you currently reading?

Started to read the first few pages but i fell asleep last night.It's called Strangers by taichi yamada.I can't wait to read the other couple of books i wrote down in my notebook.

 

Whitethorn, by Bryce Courteny (probably mispelt)

Deals with the racism between the english and boers in South Africa, like "The Power of One".

 

The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley

I love it.

It's about a mescaline experience that Aldous took in the mid-fifties. He recorded the entire thing and played it back to himself, writing dialogue about what he was experiencing. Mind at Large(The concept that the human mind limits off the amount of data it takes in from the conscious of the universe. We are the universe, yet just parts of it. We only take in so much; however psychedelic psychoactives[Mescaline, peyote, LSD, psilocybe mushrooms, etc] open up that "filter" that limits the data that comes from "Mind at Large". Thus giving us the visuals and puts us in the state of mind to properly take in the universe, in all of its beauty) and what-not. No real spoilers to it, just intro and extrospection during a psychedelic experience. :3

Edit: Excerpt from it, to make more sense of Mind at Large...

 

the autobiographical trilogy by rick bragg, including all over but the shoutin', ava's man and the prince of frogtown. the writing's powerfully evocative. the man can write. he should. he's a pulizter prize-winning reporter for the new york times...or was. can't tell if he still is from the biographical blurbs on the back covers. anyway, all are recommended reads in my book.

off to read, perchance to sleep a couple hours.

 

How is that one going? I have a few of the other Jerry and Esther Hicks books but i haven't read this one yet. Is it worth buying?

 

I normally read books to study the author and their ideas.
These are the books I am currently reading.

Black Boy by Richard Wright

Racial dissonance -- The story in its entirety is quite melancholic. Beautifully written; Wright's writing is apt and simply, but with abstract connotation. (I'm sure INFJs would enjoy this memoir hence Wright's writing has a Dostoevski philosophical aura.)

 

Grimms fairy tales
The Decamerone of Boccaccio
Pride and prejudice.

Around the World in 80 Days


Classics!

Gasp! I loved Pride and Prejudice... Mr. Darcy has ruined men for me..

 

Any Jane Austen book ruins men for all of us women...Le sigh

 

I haven't read all of her books yet. The 2005 movie of Pride and Prejudice was almost as good as the book, which surprised me. Usually I hate the movie after having read the book.
