What Else is On My Reading Table

Ken Lum's Tapping the Source;
Daniel Pinchbeck's Breaking Open the Head;
Candice Pert's Molecules of Emotion;
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's Flow;
Dean Hamer's The God Gene;
Elkhonon Goldgerg's The Wisdom Paradox;
James Austin's Zen and the Brain;
Rob Schultheis' Bone Games: Extreme Sport, Shamanism, Zen and the Search For Transcendance;
Garth Batista's Runner's High: Illumination and Ecstasy in Motion;
Steven Johnson's Mind Wide Open on the neuroscience of everyday life;
John Skoyles' and Dorian Sagan's Up From Dragons on the evolution of human intelligence;
Norman Maclean (who I LOVE) has drawn me like a moth to a flame into his writing on early Montana smokejumpers Young Men and Fire with the passage:
"They were still so young they hadn't learned to count the odds and to sense they might owe the universe a tragedy."


Yeah, I'm going to be busy for a while...
