Book List (3 book maximum)
OK. so I had a borders gift card for Christmas (of 07' heh)
and I just got around to using it in Janurary. Borders notoriously has a poor slection of the kind of books I generally like to buy. So I ordered a very expensive kundalini manual. turns out 3 1/2 months after I ordered,.I finally figured out it will never ship and called them up which they conceded. so now i have a $25 credit. I don't want to go over this credit as I think this company is really mediocre. So i am looking to buy probably 1 book or possibly 2 small soft-covers.
anyway..I just searched for 5 books I'd actually like to read and it carries 0 of them. not to mention they don't sell used books (I try not to buy new things ever)
EDIT: turns out they DO have used books So I am ordering a couple of these right now!
anyone know of any more mainstream books that have come out in recent years that are MUST haves?
Usually I only buy non-fiction or something that has alot of great re-read or reference value...like graphic novels or picture books.
No raw food books

Lamb by Christopher Moore
It's seriously the best ever. It's fiction. And it's satire. It's Monty Python in a book, and it's amaaaazing. I've reread it 5-6 times, and better yet it's a great intro into other Chris Moore stuff.
But then, if you wanted non-fiction, I really loved "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman. I wasn't completely daftly about globalization when I read it, so I didn't go crazy with realization and the topics weren't foreign to me, but for most people it's a bit mind blowing. Really well written, definite recommendation.

I agree totally...Moore is a genius...it takes a unique gift to make someone actually laugh out loud from reading....:)
Jasper Fforde is great too, if you like that kind of book :)

I really want to read Greg Braden's "Fractal Time" book that just came out.

I recommend The World Without Us by Alan Weisman, Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, and anything by Michael Pollan.

Blink is really good! If you want something funny, David Sedaris is great. I think Eat, Pray, Love is a must-have. I couldn't put it down- it was very touching and it made me laugh out loud more than once.

Mainstream must haves? Pulling my leg? :-)
OK, if you want indispensable non-fiction, I'd recommend only Naomi Klein's book The Shock Doctrine -- it's just amazing.
And Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker, is also excellent.

Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. The best book I have ever read in my life.

In Europe, people don't have psychologists, I'm told, they have friends, get me? (I had a friend, she said talking made it worse, with her it sure did, for me anyways, was all we talked about, her issues. I just wanted to do her, had the chance to...
The Krishnamurti stuff seems right up my alley. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thank you AU. You read my mind, I love camomile tea! I'll try to slow things down & keep a diary.

Group tattoo, that's awesome. I like the camaraderie when someone with a misfit tattoo points to mine.

Ajonus seems to phoney to me. He gives like 5 different reasons on why he choose to eat the way he does. Although he does have some good insight on certain subjects. He comes off as to much of a con IMO.
My tattoo artist used approved UV reactive inks, so it's not really glow in the dark but glow under blacklight. Neither me, nor the 8 other people that got the tattoo together have had a reaction or a rejection of the ink so far. It's very faint o...

Right. And from what I've seen, it seems as though the variation in dietary needs seems very specific to what a person is healing from, rather than an actual anatomical difference. Whether you're eating raw meat, fermented foods, green juices, or ...
