Everyone is reading such great books. I have been working my way through "The Cannabis Breeder's Bible" by Greg Green. It seems to be a great book on the depths of breeding a strain and the science behind it.
Every morning I also enjoy a few excerpts from "Confessions of a Barbarian" the diary of Edward Abbey. He was quite the philosopher. |

I've read some great books lately Solaris by Stanislaw Lem and The Black Cloud by Fred Hoyle are a couple that really stand out.

Riding The Iron Rooster.
I'm really enjoying these Paul Theroux travel books. This one's about traveling China by rail in the 1980's. |

Heh heh. . . yeah he has a lot of great insights into the cultures he traverses. . . but sometimes I have to cringe at some of his statements !
but at least he calls it as he sees it, good reads ! |

lol yes, he can sometimes be a little cruel in the way he describes some people, but your right, he calls it as he see's it.

"The Greatest Salesman in the World" By Og Mandino.
This one isn't just for salesmen, it's a reprogramming manual for replacing your accumulated bad habits with very good ones. Everyone wants to be successful in life, yes? Awesomely powerful information and method."Influence The Psychology of Persuasion" This one will teach you the basic triggers present in every (normal) human brain and how to recognize and guard against being manipulated by them. Very cool stuff.

Scar Tissue. Anthony Kiedis's autobiography. There's some crazy stories in there.
After that I'm going to to read another Theroux travel book - Dark Star Safari. |
