In reply to: Carlos Casteneda Johnathon Livingston Seagull I can't fully remember the title "One Straw" as a youngster Playboy and Penthouse had a very major impact on my life
also:
"Sidhartha"
it was "The One Straw Revolution"
and for a second listing because of the major impact and influence it had upon my life "The Whole Earth Catalog"

I'm still waiting for a convincing "coincidence".

In reply to: In reply to: The Celestine ProphecyEwww. Couldn't finish it. I was all over Carlos Casteneda, though. Way back when he still had people convinced it was non-fiction. When he admitted that it was basically a hoax, I was devastated.
Well, there's "The Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley
