| Bible, The.
See info on this book at Amazon.com This is perhaps the most important literature to have under one's belt to understand Western culture and history. This familiarity with Christian scripture was the best thing to come out of my early history with the fundamentalist church. |
Diary, Etty Hillesum
A beautiful, diary. Incredible displays of humanity, intellect, and introspection.. "Sometimes when I pass a woman in the street, a beautiful, well-groomed, wholly feminine, albeit dull woman, I completely lose my poise. Then I feel that my intellect, my struggle, my suffering, are oppressive, ugly, unwomanly; then I, too, want to be beautiful and dull, a desirable plaything for a man. It's typical that I always do end up wanting to be desired by a man, the ultimate confirmation of our worth and womanhood, but in fact it is only a primitive instinct. Feelings of friendship, respect and love for us as human beings, these are all very well, but don't we ultimately want men to desire us as women?" |
| Confessions, Jean Jacques Rousseau
See info on this book at Amazon.com I learned here to write, to speak, to expose my petty weirdnesses in order to live more freely. |
Games People Play, Eric Berne, M.D.
See info on this book at Amazon.com I learned how to deconstruct human interaction. This is a deeply flawed work, hard to read, and extremely rewarding in places. |
Lucid Dreaming, Stephen Laberge
See info on this book at Amazon.com It's a radical concept that people can be both asleep and conscious, but the ramifications are tremendous. I have a smallish page on lucid dreaming. |
Myth of Male Power, The., Warren Farrell, PhD.
See info on this book at Amazon.com This work revealed to me that I wasn't the only one who thought current gender socialization is fscked up. |
Programming Perl, Larry Wall (Editor), Randal L. Schwartz, Tom Christiansen, Stephen Potter
See info on this book at Amazon.com I know, it's odd to have a technical reference on this list. But this reference has gotten me through many tough spots in the past 3 years (in the earlier pink version). Affectionately known as the Camel Book, the perl ref is complete, helpful, and has a real sense of humor about itself. If you do any kind of web or unix scripting, do yourself a favor and snag a copy. |
| Thursday Night Tarot, Jason Lotterhand
See info on this book at Amazon.com This was my first glance of how one could live a path of spiritual unfoldment.

Your Money or Your Life : Transforming Your Relationship With Money and Achieving Financial Independence, Dominguez and Robin.
See info on this book at Amazon.com A workbook that caused me to take a radically different, healthier approach to money and life. A doozy. |
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Pirsig.
See info on this book at Amazon.com I've read it three times so far; every time I find things I missed the time before. This book always tweaks and informs my academic tendencies. |
The Structure of Magic: A Book about Language and Therapy, Bandler and Grinder.
See info on this book at Amazon.com This book was instrumental in helping me understand how people communicate, how they model the world. Brilliant, difficult. |
