Jonathan Livingston Seagull
| Author | Richard Bach |
| ISBN | 0743278909 |
This is a story for people who follow their hearts and make their own rules...people who get special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves...people who know there's more to this living than meets the eye: they’ll be right there with Jonathan, flying higher and faster than...
Welcome to Dostoyevsky's world of absurdities. A story with no end.
A couple goes to see a crocodile and the man is gulped down by the crocodile. The friend is the only one who attempts to get him out of there. But, it is the 'economic principle' that succeeds at the end (of the endless story).

The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You

This is the book I’ve been longing to find: A gem of a story that’s been waiting for rediscovery as new age fiction. Dorothy Bryant’s 1971 novel, originally promoted as science fiction, is described as “part love story, part science fiction, and at once Jungian myth and utopian allegory.”...
| Author | Thomas Moore |
| ISBN | 0060922249 |
SECOND REVIEW, MARCH 2008:
There will be many revisions of this review because I will probably have to read and re-read this book for my entire life just to fully absorb it.
Freaking Thomas Moore. He grabs my soul where no other nonfiction spiritual author has managed. The other night, I...
| Author | Bohumil Hrabal |
| ISBN | 0349102627 |

| Author | James Hillman |
| ISBN | 0060921013 |
As some others noted, Hillman is very cerebral and can be pompous (I do not always agree with him)
This is not a breezy book at all. But Hillman is a stunningly original thinker, and I come back and dip into this now and then.
He is an offshoot from Jung- but definitely does not see eye to eye with...

Absolutely outstanding!
The House of Belonging

The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness
| Author | Maureen Murdock |
| ISBN | 0877734852 |
This book is DATED. Which is interesting because it was published 18 years ago. It's kind of wild that a book like this can seem so old because it indicates to me that quite a lot has happened in the last 18 years. This book came out when I was beginning my most radical feminist years and if I'd read it then, I'd...

Hypersanity: Thinking Beyond Thinking
R.D. Laing presented madness as a voyage of discovery that could open out onto a free state of higher consciousness, or hypersanity. But if there is such a thing as hypersanity, then mere sanity is not all it’s cracked up to be, a state of dormancy and dullness with less vital potential even than madness....
