'War God - pt2 Return of the Plumed Serpent' by Graham Hancock.

 

The book of drugs and american on purpose...still

 

Yes - he's written 2 volumes of 'War God', and another one 'Entangled'. I've enjoyed all 3.

 

Freud

I believe it's in a series put out by Encyclopedia Britannica but basically it's many of his lectures.


I'm realizing learning this stuff in school is like listening to a greatest hits album. You get the gist of the ideas but like a regular album, this book on his lectures is way more in depth, thematic, and involved.

Like some of his ideas about how children manifest sexuality which are not very well received by popular psychology today, (not sure they were then) are more in depth and layered then what I learned in school.

 

Ernest Hemingway Selected Letters

edited by Carlos Baker

 

Hello,

I got most of Adalbert Stifter's writings in two volumes recently. I started with the novella 'Hochwald', because that's why I bought the books .

I jusr finished two books - Dad is Fat by Jim Gaffigan and My Life in France by Julia Child

 

Hippies from Atoz by skip stone

 

Rendezvous with Rama

 

I'm still reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I think I posted the same thing a few pages back. Its okay but it hasn't drawn me in to the point where I carry it around with me and contemplate reading it at red lights. Its more of a read a few pages at bedtime then fall asleep kind of book.

 

The Historian. I've been reading it off and on now for 15 years. It's really good, but not exciting enough to compel me to ever finish it.

 

I'm reading Law in a Lawless Land by Michael Taussig.

 

Consider Phlebas by Iain H Banks
Naked by David Sedaris

 

just finished Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke. pretty good book, the first i've read by him.

i went to the library today and checked out a few more:
The Songs of Distant Earth
and 2001 A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke

Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany

and a few by Robert Heinlein:
Methuselah's Children
Red Planet
Farmer in the Sky
The Rolling Stones
Starman Jones

 

what was strange about Heinlein? i'm not really familiar with him as a person, just his books. he is probably my favorite author.

 

Starman Jones is a kid's book. I read it when I was about 13.
