There's nothing wrong with reading Evasion. As long as you don't consider it any sort of Bible for travelers, or a guideline for your future travels. Remember that despite how much the author romanticizes his tales, it's mostly fiction. Good read, anyway.

bible? bahahaha. if anyone did, i think they'd have to be slapped in the face.
it's pretty obvious that the story is fiction cause nothing bad ever happens. entertaining none the less though.
 
Well I just got done reading a ton of books in jail :p.
The last one was the scalotti inherotence.
Now I have a salty piece of land by jimmy biffett sitting here waiting till I leave to start it.
For neone who hasnt checked out jimmy buffett,he is acctually a really good story teller and quite a good wrighter.
 
well, just got done reading Michael Baigent's(coauthor of Holy Blood,Holy Grail) new book: Racing Toward Armageddon: The Three Great Religions and the Plot to end the World, anyone interested in getting more informed on the subject about the extremes of christianity,islam and judaism should check this out, great read, best book i've read in awhile..
another one i've almost completed, The Jornals of Lewis & Clark by Anthony Brandt(national geographic), rewritten in modern-day english for the average reader, if you wanna know more about the expansion and history of the states, its a very revealing and educational book, i highly recommend both of these books.
 
I'm into The Day Philosophy Dies by Casey Maddox. It's weird, but intriguing, and I think it's really gonna pay off by the end.
 
I just finished reading The Acid House and am now starting up on Porno and in between I read a lot of comics.
 
im currently reading down and out in cambridge...its alright..so slow. but i like how lost he is. its also an autobiography so that makes up for the slowness i guess.
 
Tom Robbins: Even Cowgirls Get The Blues.
Its long all about a girl whos born with extreamly large thumbs and is the fastest hitchhiker in the world. just starting part two.
 
I usually don't read more than 1 book at once, but these two kinda go together...

"Meditation for Dummies" and "Being Peace" by Thich Nhat Hanh. I don't like to put lables on complicated things like spirituality, but I find myself to identify a lot with Zen Buddhism. Thich Nhat Hanh is one of those writers who can say something really deep in a way that is simple and easy to grasp. reading his book was kinda the final push for me to start meditating every day, and even though I'm on day 4 or 5, I already notice subtle changes in my mindset and ability to focus.
 
I just finished My Life in Orange by Tim.. Guest? (I gave the book back to my friend already) about this guy who grew up in an Ashram/cult. I'm just finishing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Dummies, and I'm in the middle of re-reading Borderlands, a collection of short stories (horror, dark fantasy, suspense literature, and splatterpunk) Edited by Thomas F. Moneleone.... the only reason I have it is for Poppy Z. Brite's addition to the book. Its not that great and I wouldnt recommend it, but I'm still reading it.
 
im readin the teachings of don juan a yaqui way of knowledge by carlos castaneda, and the tibetan book of the dead...
trippy shit
 
tropic of capricorn by henry miller. his style of writing is amazing..also check out tropic of cancer, black spring, the air conditioned nightmare. and anything else by henry miller. and if you havent already read the jungle by upton sinclair... and johnny got his gun by dalton trumbo
 
Just finished off the map, one of those crimethinc zine-books. Pretty good I thought. Not as repetitive as evasion, way shorter too. Now I'm into clockwork orange and the various 19th century Russian greats. Always into a bit of JD Salinger too.
