Bhagavad-gita

This book was given to me from someone I thought highly of, A very old story, the Bhagavad-gita can change ones life, This was my introduction to Hindu scripture. I have since read many books on the subject, but this book is the one that I hold onto, and have reread many times

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

This was the first book that I read from Tom Wolfe, This book has aged into a history book for the underground hippy culture of the 60's. Covering many important scenes that would probably have been forgotten if this book was not written. Covers the Grateful dead , The Merry Pranksters, Neal Cassidy, and many more, as LSD ran free through the culture, and how the government made the flower power drug illegal. Tom Wolfe is wonderful at capturing the essence of a time with his books, Since reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, I have gone on to read many of his books, and at times when I want to get some reading done, his books are first to be taken off the shelves.

The Good Earth

Another book that Ive read a few times, This is one of those books, that gives you a window into another culture. another time. Ive seen the movie made from The Good Earth, in all its black and white glory(released in 1937). It would be nice to see this one remade. Written By Pearl S. Buck , and First published in 1931, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1932. It is the first book in a trilogy that includes Sons (1932) and A House Divided (1935). If you ever have felt connected to the land under your feet give this a read.
