Here's some advice. Go to library or book shop and get whichever book(s) look interesting to you. I think that's your best bet.

Ok if you ant some suggestions I will give you a couple of books that really made an impression on me:
Tao Teh Ching - the Translation by CH Wu is one I like. I can email this to you if you can't find it as a PDF or it is available from Shambalah. Hua Hu Ching - translated by Brian Browne Walker - love it. I Ching - by same translator Hagakure - most people on here agree that is a classic I think... Musashi - Eiji Yoshikawa - GREAT novel...easy reading...if you wanna ease into reading... The Soul of Rumi - Coleman Barks - beautiful poetry.... Dhamapada - The Buddha....get's deep with this one.. Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki The Autobiography of Malcom X I tried to give a broad spectrum...also, where I said the translator...that is because I have also seen the same text by other translators and I didn't like it. That should keep you busy a while...

Is that monkey one this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Journey-West...109034-5167061 I think that's the one I have...I really didn't feel that one at all...didn't even read half of it...it was a real let down from Monkey Magic lol. Yeah Mushashi is great. I stayed up nights reading that. I just saw Catcher in the Rye like 5 mins ago in this library...must be a sign. A couple of other great books if you're willing to order online are Muata Ashby's Egyptian Book of the Dead And Metu Neter 1 &2 Why was this thread moved from Know the Ledge to scriptures?

If you like horror get some stephen king shit.
Everythings eventual is a good one because it's a bunch of short stories(some really good, others not so good). http://www.amazon.com/Everythings-Ev...6206771&sr=8-1 The shining is a fucking amazing book, much better and different to the movie (even though kubrick made it). |
