Thread: What are you reading?

I am currently reading Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain.
Pretty short book, I enjoy it though.

Just finished Robert Monroe's books, probably gonna reread them because they are awesome.

I just finished reading:
-Trance-Portation: Learning to Navigate The Inner World by Diana Paxson
-Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge
-Astral Travel for Beginners by Richard Webster

I am currently reading:
-Hypnosis for Beginners by William W. Hewitt

All I highly recommend!

About a third of the way through the book and it's fairly entertaining. It's interesting seeing how many of the things in the book are true today (book was written in the '50s (I think) and based in 1984), and also a little bit creepy.

Exploring the world of lucid dreaming - Stephen Laberge ??

I made another completely random mid-train-ride selection from what I had on my tablet: Ratner's Star by Don DeLillo.


For the first chapter or two I wasn't sure if I would continue with it, but now I'm drawn into the absurdist humor at least, without much notion of where the book is going. So far it's very Vonnegut-esque, with the nominally sci-fi premise providing more of an excuse than an organizing principle for the sequence of odd interactions among damaged individuals.

Carrion Comfort was a very satisfying horror story, by the way--creepy on many levels. It was also epic in scope, with several full-on battles against and among the big baddies.

No way, I am reading it as well.

I'm reading this interesting book about a guy who tries to destroy his identity by making all decision by throwing dice.

That sounds awesome, I used to that with a wooden dice that my dad carved for me when I was 6, surprisingy it answered my questions right 80% of the time.

I know it's outdated but I just read "Life in the Fat Lane" by Cherrie Bennet and I love it.

Started the Multidimensional Human. It's actually a fascinating book that helps us learn how to get to 'other' states like lucid dreaming, astral projection and various OOBs, etc. It's a book written in a different style, it's not the typical cookbook step by step way, so I'm really enjoying it now.

Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am?

Fallen Masters, by John Edward.

I am only 150 pages through, but so far so good. It is a fictional mystery and combines science, spirituality, politics, and various religions to face a growing dark matter. But what is that dark matter?

Agent Zigzag, known to those around him as Eddie Chapman, was by any measure Britain’s most unlikely intelligence asset. He was a longtime criminal turned double agent who, in the course of his career as a spy, would flit back and forth between Britain and Germany, occupied France and occupied Norway on one top-secret mission after another.

6th book in the series "The Horus Heresy" which is about humanity 30.000 years into the future. Based on the "Warhammer 40k" universe. Betrayal, mysterious powers, loyalty and lots of action. Great series and extra rewarding for those who plays/have played the miniature game.

Lovecraft out the wazoo

Of all the places Lovecraft's horrors emerged, I recall none exiting the wazoo. His was a more innocent age.

several things

just finished The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, was good but that was to be expected.

im really struggling through hemmingway's The Old Man and The Sea right now. it's just. . .boring. i actually like complicated and unnecessary prose, which old ernest is severely lacking of. it feels like i'm reading a chapter book

also going through a collection of nicolai gogol's short stories which are great. particulary liked The Overcoat and The Nose

and every single one of my english classes is having a 'british postmodernism' crisis which isn't as bad as i thought it would be

and apparently you can't edit posts any more. maybe it's just me

..

maybe it's always just been me. . .



does this mean death is near

Just finished Mad in America. I am now disgusted with the history of psychiatry.

Currently reading Galapagos by Vonnegut. Also Ficciones, by Borges, and learning lots of new words in the process.

Now reading The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. It's free and online and about the singularity and I'm 7 chapters in and it's awesome so far.

Just finished Bitten - werewolf book. Pretty good. Wanted something easy

Now I'm reading Y: The Last Man because I put it on my Goodreads and it got such high ratings.

I really want a challenging book but an interesting one, and it seems like all the difficult ones are plain boring. IDK. PM me suggestions?
