books
Here are the books I've read this month, I recommend them all:
1.) The Heart Sutra (Red Pine translation)
2.) The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are (Alan Watts)
3.) The Dhammapada (translation by Gil Fronsdal)
4.) The Diamond Sutra (Translation by A.F. Price and Wong Mou-lam)
5.) and almost done with Money, Sex, War, Karma: Notes for a Buddhist Revolution (David R. Loy)
hmmm... notice a theme? If you are interested at all in eastern philosophy, Buddhism, or alternative ways of thinking then these are a great place to start!
If you are new to the ideas of Buddhism, that last book is written with a Westerner upbringing in mind so it eases into things.

The anniversary of the death of one of my great heroes prompted me to write a lengthy, two-part article chronicling both his life and my interest in his work. Check out our Mongrel Digs page and read my article on beloved Gonzo Journalist, Hunter S. Thompson. Then stop by our Amazon store and pick up some of his books as well as movies and books about him. You'd be surprised what you'll learn.
