Hi all!
After a long waiting the time has come and i'm flying again to India for couple of weeks. I need recommendations for 1 or 2 books taht might help me to focus there from time to time :)
Which one to take? I'm looking for mind expenders books but not too deep, though.
Any ideas?

The Seth books by Jane Roberts make a fine mind expanding reading.

Man if you liked Adams you should definitely cheak out this book called "Good Omens", written by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman.
Would you believe it, the 2 best living authors wrote a book together, fucking insane

Timothy Leary has quite a few interesting books.

I would recommend:
ram dass - be here now
leary (most books)
mckenna(most books)
alan watts(most books)
huxley - island
hope all these are not too deep (which they probably are)
have a nice trip

Hey.
I just bought this one the other day
Folktales from India. This book is a collection of tales compiled by 111 by the poet Ramanujan.
This is a really nice book but since you're going to India maybe you'll experience those same tales in person.
Enjoy your trip. |

Or actually, since you will already be in India, why not try something radically different?
Say, something utterly American like Charlie Bukowski. I recommend Ham on Rye (or Ham and Rye, whichever way)
