  1. Never been much of a reader, but I have found that I just don't like "entertainment" books. So I'm lookin for a good book on philosophy, psychology or science.
     
  2. i enjoyed Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser, can't suggest anything heavier though. I never have the time to read anymore >__<
     
  3. Jose Silva's Mind Control Method
     
  4. Tao Te Ching.

    His books are actually pretty deep, you just have to understand everything he writes is a commentary on society.

  13. Redwall by Brian Jacques
     
  14. The definitive book of body language - Pease

    The warrior within, The philosophies of Bruce Lee - Little

    The black science - Lung
     

  15. I read The Atlantis Blueprint years ago, fascinating read.

  17. Catch 22!
     
  18. I saw someone else already said Chuang Tzu; I'd just add that I'd recommend the Brook Ziporyn translation. I second Ishmael too. That book is fucking tits.

    The books on Diogenes of Sinope by Luis Navia are sort of expensive, but worth the money. One of the founders of Cynicism, he once went thru the streets with a lit lamp looking for "an honest man." A philosophical giant who gets overlooked because none of his work (if he wrote anything) survived.
    Plus, he was just too damn radical.

    A History of Western Philosophy - Bertrand Russell (Good in-depth book which tracks the development of philosophy from ancient times to the 20th century)

    Dharma Bums - Jack Kerouac

    Perrenial Philosophy - Aldous Huxley
    Quote: "The politics of those whose goal is beyond time are always pacific; it is the idolaters of past and future, reactionary memory and Utopian dream, who do the persecuting and make the wars."

    The Bhagavad-Gita
