"choke" is an exceptional book.
"god knows," by joseph heller (also author of highly recommended "catch-22") is probably the best book i have ever read.
"fear and loathing in las vegas," by hunter s. thompson. if you thought the movie was crazy, the book will blow you away.
"the god of small things," by arundati roy. written the way my train of thought runs sometimes. |

I STRONGLY second Ishmael, as it truley changed the way that I view the world and the human species as a whole. I have not read those others you mentioned, but I'm assuming they are a continuation of the saga of our favorite gorilla philosopher? ;) :conf:

I've read another of his works called Living Buddha, Living Christ, and it's quite good. He does contradict himself a bit though as one might expect from discussing such a subject.
Currently, I'm reading The State of Native America edited and compiled by M. Annette Jaimes of the University of Colorado @ Boulder. It's a compilation of essays by Native American scholars (the few that there are) meant to enlighten those living in the dark (i.e. me) about the history and plight of the native peoples of N. America.
Frankly, it's worse than I ever could have imagined, but perhaps there are less radical works out there that are just as informative. I'll create a thread later about the issue when I have more time.
I just glanced at my shelf and noticed this one:
Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin
This particular book I read as a younger child, and was life-changing for me as well. The late Griffin was already an accomplished and well known (Caucasian) writer when he decided to artificially darken his skin pigment and experience what it was like to live as an anonymous black man in the deep south of the US during the late 1950s-early 60s. Needless to say the picture he paints is very disturbing.:( |
