it is an excellent place to begin with watts.

i also have a fairly good selection of his speeches on audio and often start people with those. i find his voice hypnotizing in and of itself, and...

:thumbsup:

re-read that one earlier this year
alan watts is always good stuff

you recommend which, the book or fucking anthony bourdain? :evil:

excellent brian. i've already re-read it twice this year. yes, i can admit it. i'm a tolkien junkie. :D

i'm taking partial credit for that one. :D

i owed you one for the time traveler's wife

thanks to someone being so fucking cool and getting me my own copy, sjayson is about to begin a much-anticipated mutual read of this...

this series of books certainly has my non-fiction side covered for a while to come. :D

i encourage you to only read it somewhere it is safe to doze off. :P

for me, faulkner cures insomnia in about three sentences.

exactly. one minute it was just odd and mildly disturbing (like all good chuck p) and the next, well, you've read it, you know. :)

my first attempt through invisible monsters made eating somewhat difficult for a few days. i still haven't been able to finish the book, but it's really to chuck's credit that he can so effectively...

I read it via...

Let me know how you like this one Seymour. I read it last year and really enjoyed it a lot. It was the first Chabon I've read.
