“This is Your Brain on Music” is a good one, all about how your brain changes when you’re listening to music.

I quite like “Physics of the Future” by Michio Kaku. He basically interviews all the top engineers and physicists working on breakthrough technologies and then gives an explanation on how our world will be changed by said technologies while also giving an explanation as to how they could work. Very good read.

Philosophy wise, Thus Spoke Zarathustra is my favourite.

Well mythology and science fiction got my interest most; Iliad was one of the best among all the books I have read. I also recommend The Hero With A Thousand Faces written by Joseph Campbell.

I rate his book “Hyperspace”. Cosmic super string theory for the layperson. Scientifically unprovable as yet but fascinating.

“Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintainance”, Robert M Pirsig, is probably the most difficult book I’ve read. VERY scatty, jumps all over the place. Worth it in the end but took me years – I’m a pretty logical straight line thinker and that was hard work. It’s partly about the divorce between belief and science, but comes at that from the very human angle of an ex-psychiatric patient being reconciled with his son.

“Psychic Warrior”, David Morehouse, is an insider’s view of the American paranormal warfare program. It’s pretty easy to read compared to the others I’ve listed, just VERY hard to believe. From what I understand it is largely accurate. Bear in mind I’ve been studying it for nearly 11 and a half years. To most people it sounds like completely unbelievable bullshit.

Remote viewing?

Hmmm… bit more to it than that. Author was an Army Ranger (Airborne) officer who had a freakish accident in the 1980s. It’s what set me off, anyway. Kind of a “Deliverance” epic.

Whether you consider it fact or fiction it’s still a rattlin’ good tale. If you want to try double blind scientific testing, be my guest. If you just want a good story, it does that too.

Me, I thought “No fucking way” so I just had to test reality. Wow, did I get a shock. 🙂

Ham on rye is my favourite, there is a part in the story where hanks standing outside the prom, face bandaged up and he looks in the window to see all the goodlooking popular kids dance…that really gets to me. @bukowski 479245 wrote:

Factotum by Bukowski and On The Road by Kerouac would probably be my two favourite books that I’d recommend to anyone.
Also any fante…(buk adored him)
“Killing yourself to live” by Chuck Klosterman is a really interesting book about his journey around america visiting the deathsites of various musicians. The Basketball Diaries is a really good autobiographical novel about Jim Carroll’s decent into heroin addiction (the film with Leo Dicaprio is ridiculously good too). Also, Anthony Kiedis’ biography “Scar Tissue” is brilliant, really couldn’t put it down. (Into the Wild is also unputdownable)

Catch 22 by Joseph hellier is what I’m reading currently, tis pretty damn good.
