...and wackos, 'highlights' doesn't count.

Post your reading recommendations here...here's mine:

1. American Scream , The Bill Hicks Story - Cynthia True....the funniest and most important comedian you've never heard of.

2. Imperial Hubris - Anonymous....scathing criticism of the Bush administration's bumbling ineptitude waging the 'war on terror'.

3. Through Our Enemie's Eyes - Anonymous...better read this book if you want to begin to grasp the gravity of the aforementioned ineptitude.

4. The Brother's K - David James Duncan...perhaps the most beautiful book about family ever written.

5. The River Why? - David James Duncan....quirky novel centers around the first person author's steelhead and salmon fishing obsession....a coming of age tale of sorts.

6. Holy Blood, Holy Grail - Micheal Baigent....excruciatingly researched and verified, this book claims an alternate symbolism for 'the vessel', fascinating iof not a hard swallow.

7. Tom Clancy - Battle Ready....yup, Bush still an idiot. Even a hardened conservative like Tom Clancy can see that another four years of incompetency could be disastrous for this country.

8. Plan of Attack - Bob Woodward....oh look, war with Iraq at all costs. SURPRISE!!

9. The Baghavad Gita...don't just ssay you'll read it someday, read it now.

10. The Gnostic Gospels...this is the stuff modern christians love to tear down. How might women's role in society be different if God were both the Mother and the Father?

11. The Bible...if only to keep in perspective that nearly the entire old testament comes from other texts (and I can't get enough begatting).
