"Towards Democracy" by Edward Carpenter. It was written in 1912, and is basically a man's musings on humans and their nature. Very interesting and inspiring at the same time.

The Last of the Mountain Men


it's a true story about this guy named Sylvan Hart who lived out in the Idaho wilderness for 30 years. He had an engineering degree, and built a really nice house, made his own clothes, etc.

oh btw, I've got "wisdom of insecurity" in my bookshelf along with a bunch of other old books of my Mom's. ...haven't read it yet.
Baby don't you holler, darlin'
don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man

Go ask Alice. just got the book today and i couldnt put it down. i went 5 hours today without a smoke just because i didnt want to stop reading. fascinating story written in the form of a young girls diary who gets slipped lsd at a party and tumbles through a fucked up life.

No one frolics,
Like we alcoholics.

Come the Autumn, come Spring, do your thing,
Come the river, come the mountain,
Come the ocean, what swell will you bring?

You should just add to this thread about reading books.

but anyway I'm currently reading Wake Up, A Life of the Buddha. Much different than his other books.

Actually, I definitely would have posted there had I noticed that. I should be more thorough in my searches. :D
