Some recent good reads...
Atlas Shrugged (Rand) -> pretty epic. one of my favorite novels ever.
The Fourth Turning
Prometheus Rising (Robert Anton Wilson) -> made a bunch of my friends read it because it's an easy intro to psych and getting "out of the box"
Mind Lines (Michael Hall) -> fuck I've gotta re-read this shit to fully integrate it
The Ethical Slut -> got a new perspective on sex and open relationships...
Models (Mark Manson) -> one of the best books on pickup/seduction I've read.
Radical Honesty (Brad Blanton) -> pick it up, will change your life.
I just ordered:
Practically Shameless (Barry)... it's about working with your "shadow" as Carl Jung talked about. I read the intro and first chapter and it's hit home already.
Turtles All The Way Down (John Grinder)... a book about psychology and NLP if anyone's familiar with that... apparently a must read. pretty excited to get these two books soon.
Good list. If you/ or anyone is interested in doing a book trade, i'd be happy to mail some stuff off.
I just finished Cuck Palhniuk's 'Invisable Monsters'. Quite dark to read over xmas. If you're interested in transgender studies and people getting fucked up, this is could be a winner.
Currently reading:
Drive - Daniel H. Pink
Food of the Gods - Terence McKenna (druggggssss)
What Makes a Great Exhibtion? - Marincola
Consider the Lobster - David Foster Wallace
oh and im struggling through The Sound and Fury. fucking garbage, sorry.
I wanna read all of Daniel Pink's books.
Do you have a goodreads account? I'm actually moving across the country and I gotta get rid of most of my books. I'll update the books I own now tonight and if you or anyone wants any of them I'll mail them if you pay for shipping. I'll add the link here to the books I own once I've updated the list. I'm in Canada so shipping should be something under $10 if you're in the states, I've no idea.
I just finished 5 books by Robert A. Johnson. He's like Joseph Cambell, but rather than comparing myths about the Hero's journey, he dissects archetypes of myths and relates them to human psychology and transformation, inner work, female psych, male psych, relationship psych, "shadow work". I'm on a binge and gonna read everything by him this month if I can get my hands of them all. I just ordered He and Living Your Unlived Life.
I also finished Practically Shameless and if anyone's interested in Carl Jung's shadow work, I highly recommend it.
