I am reading this now, very good so far.

'The Gift of Fear' I mean, I am going to look into the other, thanks.

This is a great thread Mia.

Going to look at all 5 pages and take notes.

Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Watership Down by Richard Adams

Thank you, I come back every hour and write down every single one of them in a notebook (small one that fits in purse) that I keep important notes in.

I am looking up each one and reading the info on it.

I've been gone since NY eve. Got a lot of catching up to do.

Thank You! just downloaded three..

The Initiation- Elisabeth Haich
The Mists of Avalon- Marion Zimmer Bradley
Autobiography of a Modern Profit- Harold Klemp
Eyes of Horus- Joan Grant

I couldn't agree more about these, but particularly "Initiation" by Haich!!
One of the BEST books I've ever read by far! Used to be very hard to find.
Oh yes, and ANYTHING by Joan Grant... :-)
EXCELLENT AC 923772 you're on it!!!

Most definately, it is reinforcing that which many are self aware of and engaged in already, since the upward causation model of materialism is already dead. This gives solid applicable solutions for a viable agent of change.

check out 'underground empire'

it over a thousand pages and it is about three major smuggling groups.

donald steinberg and lynn mizner is one of them and they brought one-third of the pot into the u.s. and they made the cover of time mag back in the eighties.

they made so much dough they weighed it because it took so long to count.

Also: We by Yevgeny Zamyatin - a precursor to both those novels.

Other suggestions:

Umberto Eco: Foucault's Pendulum
Umberto Eco: Name of the Rose

Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment - a real page turner!

Italo Calvino, Edgar Allan Poe, HP Lovecraft - good short horror stories.

THEM by Jon Ronson

I've been reading the classics lately and I've really come to appreciate the writings. Sherlock Holmes is great reading. It really shows you how to pay attention to detail.

The Giants novels: Patrick Hogan. It may also be called :The Minerva Experiment

Forget the rest Iain M Banks The Culture books

Novel: 'The Island Beneath the Sea' by Isabel Allende.

Humanistic 'The Power of Intention' by Dr. Wayne. Dyer.

Esoteric 'Seth Speaks' by Jane Roberts.

I would recommend,

'The Terrible Truth about Liberals' and 'The Fair Tax Book' both by Neil Boortz.

The Terrible Truth About Liberals

"Boortz at his insightful, inflammatory, in-your-face best. He calls it 'a strong dose of anti-liberal venom'. His philosophical opponents will call it a full frontal attack. Readers will call it a hoot.
From questioning the true definitions of democracy and racism to challenging the entire social security system, Boortz provides insights into nagging social and political issues. He may be contentious, but he's never dull."


The Fair Tax Book.

"Wouldn't you love to abolish the IRS ...Keep all the money in your paycheck ...Pay taxes on what you spend, not what you earn ...And eliminate all the fraud, hassle, and waste of our current system?

Then the FairTax is for you. In the face of the outlandish American tax burden, talk-radio firebrand Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder are leading the charge to phase out our current, unfair system and enact the FairTax Plan, replacing the federal income tax and withholding system with a simple 23 percent retail sales tax on new goods and services. This dramatic revision of the current system, which would eliminate the reviled IRS, has already caught fire in the American heartland, with more than six hundred thousand taxpayers signing on in support of the plan…"

Cat in the Hat. He's wicked.

I didnt read the whole thread so someone may have said it already.

Watchers by Dean Koontz

Indeed

Ishmael is a 1992 philosophical novel by Daniel Quinn.

It examines mythology, its effect on ethics, and how that relates to sustainability. The novel uses a style of Socratic dialogue to deconstruct the notion that humans are the end product, the pinnacle of biological evolution. It posits that human supremacy is a cultural myth, and asserts that modern civilization is enacting that myth.

Ishmael was awarded the $500,000 Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award. The book is the first of a trilogy including The Story of B and My Ishmael.

I have gifted many copies of this book.

Absolutely The Fourth Turning -- written in 1998, it explains how the dynamics of history and sociology create cycles of events.

YES! JOAN GRANT!!

I had Winged Pharaoh and another of her books, but lost them in my many many moves. :(

I have to admit you are a troll, A silly dumb blonde amassing information for tagastock.

Bummer about losing her books in so many moves... I know now that goes. :( That said, I notice most are reprinted now and selling on Amazon and the like.
Take care ~

This on a bibliophile thread. LOL

Personally, not a blonde, never a dumb moment in my entire life. Ok, I'm silly, sue me.

And my feet are pretty, not a troll.
