Guest 277: 930-933 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Just sort of going on the fact you mentioned HST. Jack Kerouac William S. Boroughs Everbody should read Infinite Jest by David Wallace. Check out some Thomas Pynchon as well.

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

To put it simply, would subscribing to Tolle's belief system still allow me to screw hookers? As much as I'm curious about say, Buddhism, I can't get very engaged in anything that advocates detachment. Not sure if Tolle does... the basic premise of the book is that you can find peace by being aware in the moment. he doesn't really go into things you should or shouldn't do, which i like. in a way he advocates detachment - i.e., not getting caught up in your patterns of thinking - but in a way it's also the opposite of detachment, a harmony of observation and action. it's totally new agey and it totally works for me. your mileage may vary. sorry to hijack thread, there are some great recommendations in here. you didn't like Lila, quixote? it was pretty weird, but worth reading imo!
