I just finished reading every e-book thus far released by Cory Doctorow. I began with Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom, then A Place So Foreign & 8 More, followed by Someone Comes To Town, Someone Leaves Town, and finally Eastern Standarn Tribe. The guy can write a good science fiction story, and I'm eager to read more. Check out http://www.craphound.com/ for free electronic versions of the texts.

Cosmic Trigger- Robert Anton Wilson Cartoon History of the Modern world Vol. 1- Gonick
I have read several of R.A.W's Books and find Cliff Pickover to be just as interesting and mind expanding. The entire cartoon history of the world series is fun, Gonick pulls no punches and presents history in a unique way without being dry.

I just finished reading Reality Is What You Can Get Away With by Robert Anton Wilson, and it was great. It is a must read for sure, very funny and gives you a lot of information.

I'm reading B.K.S. Iyengar's Light on Life, along with Amy Tan's Saving FIsh from Drowing...and the Hobbit...
Actually I'm studying.. Light on Life, it gets a bit heavy at times, so when I need a break I read the Hobbit...Saving Fish From drowing... is a little slow at times...but that's OK, because I'm not in a hurry....

Currently: Dancing Naked in the Mind Field, Dr. Kary Mullis, The Razor's Edge, Somerset Maughm, and Death in Venice by Thomas Mann. I would highly recommend The Sorcer's Apprentice by Tarim Shaw (?), and Focault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco (and his fabulous Travels in Hyperreality). Also Pico Iyer's Video Night in Kathmandu...that is all I can come up with this late in the evening with absinthe in hand.

The cure for everything is salt water - Sweat, Tears, or the Sea...
Not a book but I love the quote.

I'm rereading The Turning Point by Capra. It's a good primer for understanding what's going on in the world and why. I just finished Chaos, Creativity, and Consciousness by McKenna, Sheldrake, and Abraham which is a very interesting book. I believe that many topics covered by books should utilize multimedia presentations as video and audio seem to convey information more thoroughly than the written word alone. Maybe include a weblink to the presentations that help illuminate the ideas trying to be conveyed in the book.
