Nick hornby's "31 songs" is an easy and yet wonderful book with reflections over life and music. Fast & esay to read but stays with you a long time.
At the moment I'm reading "falling angels" by Tracy Chevalier ... love her way of writing, highly recommended.
keep on chilling ...

Great thread, I was just thinking to open a similar topic. Maybe it´s because the days are getting shorter!?
I just finished "The cosmic serpent" by Jeremy Narby. An easy reading book with lot´s of information, making connection between the mystical serpent and DNA (the footnotes are almost as good as the book).
"Hundret years of solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. A spaced out book, telling the story of the imagenary village Macondo. Very slow, surreal in many ways. I remember finding it difficult to get into it first, cause of the spanish names, but it´s well worth it.
"The Perfume" by Patrik Suesskind. I just heared, that the guy wrote it whilst he was working, selling tickets in the subway. Remember only that it was great and it is the story of somebody with incredible sense of smell. Gotta read it again.
And another one I just decided to read again as well: "Gulliver`s Travels" by Jonathan Swift.
Enough words, otherwise I´ll be told to write my own book...  |

Carneiro, you should really try Black Spring by Miller too. There is no other book that succeeded in making me cry and laugh simultaneously throughout the whole thing. Miller really is the master of prose of the twentieth century while he transcending time altogether. Apart from the three H's (Hesse, Huxley and Heinlein) it is hard to think of another fiction writer that could capture the essence of what it means to be human as well as he did.

Im a book-freak.. heheh Here are some I thought about now:
Essential Sufism - Little stories and sayings from Sufi sages.. AMAZING.... But you cannot read it like a book in order, a lot at a time, because each saying reaches so deep down in your Self, you will get a spiritual indigestion hehehe. Have to read little by little, or opening in random pages
Bhagavad Gita
Tibetan Book of Great Liberation
Tao te ching
Man and his symbols - Carl Jung
Siddharta, and SteppenWolf (sp?) by Herman Hesse
Almost anything by Aldous Huxley
and for a life-changing experience, all books by Gurdjieff.. but not for the faint-hearted =) |

The best series I have read, I actually like it as much as Tolkien, is The word of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.
http://www.terrygoodkind.com/
very well written mythical adventures, but very intess with entwining realtionships and emotions. I've read the entire series at least 3-4 times and not gotten bored yet... |
