The Year of Living Biblically : One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible by AJ Jacobs

Secular guy tries to closely follow the Bible. Great quick read, pretty funny, & at times sweet and surprising.

A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking

Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming - Stephen Laberge:thumbsup:

ABHT is not an easy read but is mind blowing. EtWoLD is one of my fav books of all time. After the movie Waking Life I tried to learn as much as possible about the art. Out of all the books out there this was the only one that really got me somewhere. If you have any interest in the subject you must get it. $4 used on Amazon!!

Waking Life is an amazing movie!

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. It's about Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters and their journey across the country and the Grateful Dead and all sorts of 60s counterculture icons. I guess it's being turned into a movie next year but who knows how that will turn out.

and if you are a Doors fan No One Here Gets Out Alive by Jerry Sugerman is phenomenal. I'm not big on biographies but that one is fantastic.

Benjamin Franklin: An American Life by Walter Isaacson. A good insight into how and why the country was formed. Should be required reading for those who misinterpret history and use it to protest the application of basic human rights.
