this list of links goes to the actual work - for any budding scholar or anyone interested in who we are, where we came from, and generally things less shallow than new cellphone skins and fashion, these are essential readings. |

This is great! Thanks Marlowe :) |

I wish I could just zap this entire list into my Amazon.com "wish list" |

I really do hope there is some interest in this thread -- these are some incredibly interesting and important texts stretching back centuries, some even millenia... they will furnish the reader with new knowledge and new perspective! PLEASE READ THEM! |

that site is awesome, thanks again! Take a loom at the Mystics of Islam (on sufism), reading it at the moment... |

I would like to turn them all into eBooks - I am in the process of saving them all as HTML files. I also aim to learn how to bind, so I can actually make hard copies of them all, too. I have already started converting Crowley Libers to eBooks, which can be found |

i trruly don't have the time to rread all of them anymorre (kind of a good thing), but i'll add this thrread to my fav's and maybe see if therre is anything of interrest to me at a laterr date. |

reading is nice but that list is a little much. i say trim it down to essentials, i've read alot of those and i must say i wasn't particularly enlightened by some of them. just because somethings 1,000,000 years old doesn't make it good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
01. That IS the trimmed-down list. 02. Detail exactly WHICH books you've read from that list and WHY they didn't provoke your thoughts. 03. The fact that something is millenia old indicates it is a fascinating historical glimpse - I never said it made it 'good', whatever that means. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, but i find history much less than stimulating (i wish i liked it i just dont). and by "i've read alot of those books" i meant to say "i've read 'art of war', 'iliad', 'aesops fables', and the 'qur'an'". sorry for exagerating. the reasons for not liking those books are all different blablablablablabla. and the reason i dont find old books to be "fascinating" (excuse my previous blunt language) is because i'm always forced to read them and i'm too concerned with my own future to busy myself with other's pasts. however the pagan society stuff does interest me but i haven't read any of the books you mentioned on that subject, i may if i get around to it. |
||||||||

|
|
yes, I intentionally chose a list of wide-ranging issues, so people who aren't interested in Comparative Religion might enjoy the Occult, etc. And yes, 4 books is just a SLIGHT exaggeration :P |
||||||||
|
|

i like my historical readings predigested and preferably on PBS. |

Man I remember this one Koontz novel that ended with everyone laughing at these puppies. It was like a Super Friends episode. |

Added to my favs! Marlowe, you on slsk at the moment? |

Dean R Koontz (or something like that) : a door over winter (or something like that) i still have to finish it, but its relaxing cool do you mean 'the door to december'? if so, great book, one of my favorites of his. marlowe: i've read some of some of those (tao te ching, bhagavad-gita, the art of war) but i always have such a hard time understanding them. i have the same problem with nietzsche and dostoevsky. i don't have very good written comprehension. oh well. |

what a find! |

|
|
Indeed. Fav+ Checks in later. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Das Kapital and The Prince are good for thought-provoking, I thinks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tractatus Logico Philosophicus that is a book |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Now that we've brought this back, I have a question: How exactly are you supposed to read online books? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reading is stupid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How exactly are you supposed to read online books? You start at the left and read across to the right when the words stop go to the line directly below. When there is no line below you have finished and can start again with the same book or a new one. enjoy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha enjoyed reading recommended by me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That was the worst answer that has ever existed in the history of this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Fav+ Thanks Paul, it's nice to have a handy list of links to online versions of all of those. Smooches! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) no problem - right now I'm starting up my attempt to type up all 43 Three Investigator books and make them into e-books. I've done two full texts so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Greg Egan - Luminous A great book of science fiction short stories that make you question the nature of reality, sanity and your own consciousness. See k_maty, I have lots of fav+ bookmarks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is in my Fav+ I think I'll rremove it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So will I. I never had/have the time to check these titles out. Sorry thread, bye for now... |
