Hiya Sweet Souls,
Just thought of an idea. Who all are interested in starting a little book club? Yeah yeah..I know...I keep stealing ideas from Oprah, but hey, if it works, why ever not?
Here is my scratch-plan. Last week of every month, members suggest the name of a book with a little summary on premise and intent, and the members vote on it. Next two-three weeks we actually read the book. Last week of the month, we discuss the book together and vote on a new book.
Since this is a drug education forum and the board attracts a HUGE personality pool, each individual with his/her own needs/interests, let's eliminate too much indecision by having one pre-requisite. The Book HAS to be drug related SOMEHOW. It could be a documentary. It could be a history of drugs. It could be pure fiction. It could be written on drugs....ANYTHING...but SOMETHING drug related. And having a character in the book with a distant cousin who fled town because his neighbors did drugs, doesn't count.
Anyone interested? Do you think this is a possible plan...or is it really far fetched?
Loads of loves,

I'm in. As long as I don't have to read anything pointless. Pointless books are a tool of Satan.

I've been thinking of reading some more Carlos Castaneda. I read The Teachings of Don Juan, and have a copy of Further Conversations with Don Juan.
If you haven't read the first though, it should probably precede the second. And I guess it would do me well to re-read the first one as well, since the first time I read it was before I had done any drugs at all.
Thoughts?

"Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castenada" seems like an aboslutely fantastic book to read.
I'll buy my copy this evening and start right away

Errrg I HATE Barnes & Noble ... they did, surprisingly, have this book, but of course I thought I'd never find it. They had none of the other books I was looking for, and only the most well-known books by most authors. No wonder people don't read, when that's what you have to go through to get a good book!
But anyway, I survived my ordeal, and there was even a really cute guy at the register

so I'm ready to go when everyone else is. Probably start reading on the plane on the way to Brownrave this weekend woohoo!!

Hi guys! I'm never in the "Words" section but I love love love reading. I'm always reading some sort of book
smile.gif

I will pick this book up today and start on it! This is a great idea!

I have a few I'd like to recommend !
 
I reccomend "A separate reality" or "a journey to Ixtlan" by Carlos Castaneda...anything after that, just doesn't have the same magic as those first two.
 
yeah, cool! funny i just finished The Teachings of Don Juan and just recently bought A Separate Reality. Loved The Teachings . . . and can't wait to read Separate Reality. I'm also reading High Priest by Timothy Leary right now which details more than a dozen trips he took with acid and mushrooms. i feel like i took a tab every time i pick it up. i'm also reading Cosmic Trigger for the second time by Robert Anton Wilson. Great book. Does any one else read Wilson? I've read a handful of his books and they're all great reads. Count me in the club!
 
i finished Maraboue stork nightmares a while ago by Irvine Welsh, not very drug related but his other books like Trainspotting (a must read) and Acid House are very good, and drug related, havent read Ecstacy yet but im sure it wont be long, right now im reading On The Road by Jack Karouac, good book but not very drug related (at least not yet)
Peace!

i got a letter from the government the other day, i opened it read it, it said they were suckers, they wanted me for the army or whatever, imagine me giving a damn i said never
 
All right, I'm in...but why does it have to do with drugs? I mean, as you said, this board attracts quite the spectrum of people, so it only seems fitting that we dabble in everything in the literary world,eh?
E-bow
 
Hey guys, I've never done anything like this before but if ya'll don't mind I'd sure like to get in..."Teachings of Don Juan Costenda" is this still the book to get?

Well, I already dropped my cash on a copy, so I hope that's still the right book.
We could start a parallel effort for other books, I think, for those of us who are ambitious enough to tackle multiple books at once. I'd be up for that.
But for this one, I think the idea will be to try to further our understanding of our own experiences through reading those of others. Does that sound like a mission statement? That's the way I want to approach it.
