[/quote] Yes - but our thoughts are shaped by our experiences - and books contain, in my opinion, the potential for transmitting pure experience. Sure its book learning at whatever rate, but thats still a good foundation for hitting the ground running - be it with woodworking knowledge, or knowledge of Jung's metaphysical constructs....

Original Message
Many books are read and re-shelved, and forgotten. But few, be it fiction or non-fiction, speaks so loud, and so clear and compellingly that you just can't ignore it. You make some changes, or at least you think your steps. Those are the ones I wish to make sure I read in this lifetime. Any suggestions?
