    Doors of perception - Aldous Huxley
    Marriage of Heaven and Hell - William Blake

    Elliot Wave Principle by Frost & Prechter
    Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
    Dune by Frank Herbert

    Reading is such a great thing. If it wasn't for music and books life would pretty much suck.

    celestine prophecy.... wow. i read the 3 books he wrote. while using a fictional story, he wrote about some of the best ideas on living life i have ever seen. there was an underlying message throughout those books about keeping aroudn people who have positive impact on your life, treating others with compassion and so so much more.

    forgot aobut those. might have to go re read.
