    That's a really good book. I've read it 3 times.

    It has a lot in for a book of its size. It has less than 190 pages, but I don't feel that a page is wasted. I don't give good reviews, but I like investigating how and why everything is the way it is and I found on a lot of stuff in the book to consider. It's not a lot of new stuff - it's basically some of his lectures from Cambridge.

    It's almost as good as some of Asimov's nonfiction in that it is very understandable.

    World Wide Mind by Michael Chorost


    It was a good book, I wish I understood (astro) physics better though. The concepts were understandable but I had to take a lot of it at face value, and there were quite a few theories mentioned in the book, only a few of which I retained.

    I just finished Design For Dying by Timothy Leary a few days ago. It was a really good read, it really got me thinking and it actually made a noticeable change in me. I'd really recommend this book.

    I'm currently reading Signifying Rappers by David Foster Wallace and Mark Costello. It's a fairly short essay written in 1989 iirc. It's a fairly interesting read covering the rap culture at the time, including the white mans place in the scene.

    I should be done with that in a day or two. I don't know what I'm going to pick up next though, I just bought some books that I'm excited about so it's going to be hard to choose

    I just looked up World Wide Mind. I read the description and a couple of reviews. Sounds like a really cool book. I've scaled back my reading time lately by about 90% but that might be one of my next reads.

    I had to stop reading that, interesting subject matter but I found it pretty eerie. I may pick it up again after some the psychedelic lit I am reading.

    this sounds good. he was realy into mysticism and perennial tradition which are both very fascinating.
