    no complaints here. i need to peruse a bit more, but if anything it shall keep me motivated to maintain religious reading habits which i so often fail to do. i noticed your collection of books is far more eclectic than mine. i'm quite floored & impressed. & you are yet another person who holds the dharma bums in high esteem. i'm gonna have to give it a whirl. greg & i were discussing books last nite, so i may be lending you guys some books sometime soon. also, check out forgottenbooks.org. that website has thousands of books online that you can read for free.

  • The Ancient One

    The Ancient One says

    They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

    Jack Kerouac
    On the Road (1957)

    Hi! Thanks for adding me to your friends. It's always good to meet another Kerouac and Zen reader. Take care and have a great week :)

    That's Ken Follett, right? I've never read anything by him, though he's on my "I plan to read" list. I've been writing some lately- my creativity comes in spurts. I am reading "Digital Fortress" by Dan Brown- it is so-so so far. I will have read all four of his books when I am through with this one. I am not sure what I'll read next, but my budget is dictating right now that I use the library instead of purchasing books...that's about it. Don't be a stranger. Jason

    No judgement here- there is much to be said for sentimentality. I am re-reading the Dale Carnegie self-help books- they really helped me when I was in high school- a long time ago- so no guilt for guilty pleasures! Jason

    Hi- I was just writing to let you know the same thing that Maria O did- I got your invitation to Daniel Quinn, but unfortunately I am not familiar with his work- maybe I will check something out sometimes. Have you read the other Mitch Albom book that has been popular- "Tuesdays With Morrie"? I haven't read it, but was curious about it.

    Hi dear! Thank you for your invitation to join your Daniel Quinn's group! I will be happy to be a member but...unfortunately I don't know this author! :( Will you help me giving me some suggestions and general view on his work? Thanks a lot! Maria

    How did you like "The Five People You Meet in Heaven"? I read it this past week and thought it was pleasant, but not remarkable. Any thoughts? I hope all is well in CA. Jason

    Hi, FawnE -
    Your profile says you love to read books that make you think. Uh-oh. Dangerous.
    Recommendations:
    "The Known World" by Edward P. Jones (very Faulkner-esque, but without the stream-o-consce.)
    "The Journey to the East" by Herman Hesse
    "Giovanni's Room" by James Baldwin
    ANYTHING by Virginia Woolf or Vladimir Nabokov

    Happy reading,
    Justin

    Thanks for the friendship invite- it appears as if we have a mutual interest in Kerouac. We'll have to work to make the group more active. Happy reading. Jason
