Recently re-read Walden and have now started on Brave New World, Sort of an Orwellian 1984 tribute.

 

Umm... Brave New World by Aldous Huxley was written eighteen years before 1984.

 

:cloud9: Such and amazing piece of literature.

 

Too add.

 

I'm reading the Doors of Perception also by Mr. Huxley. It accounts his experience with

mescaline.

Huxley of course taught Eric Arthur Blair French at Eton.

Strangely enough I've just finished reading the Jim Morrison biography 'No One Here Gets Out Alive'.

Too add onto this string of events, I actually recently finished watching "When Your're Strange".

 

Do you recommend the book?

I wouldn't recommend the book, even though I'm a big Doors fan. You get to realize just how much of a dikk Morrison was for all of his life.

Years ago, I watched the Oliver Stone film on Jim Morrison that starred Val Kilmer. The only reason I finished the movie was to see how he died. I guess he has his place in music history but can't see where he was a positive contributor on a personal level to those around him.

Amazing adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Michael Chabon

Life of Pi, Yann Martel

Let the great world spin,Colum Mcann

Anything by Douglas Coupland

 

And if you are in anyway interested in politics and/or journalism you cannot do better than the late great Dr Gonzo; Hunter S. Thompson.
