Here we have a wonderful interactive view of The Universe
You need a more recent...
Library
Here are some books. All pdfs. You can either read them on line or download them. Up to you. Copy them, give them away, share them. As me old mate Scroobius Pip says " Don't use Art Literature and Philosophy to get into girls pants! Use it to get into their heads!" I used to have loads more but.....My main book site is on Scribd , The Youtube of Books . Click here to go there I like printed books but personally I find it hard to justify the cost to the environment. So I content myself with online pdfs. If you have any online books that need a good read please let me know. My site has had 66k reads so is quite popular.
- Alaska, A guide. Lots of information. Maybe a little old now
- The Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam for Ravenlea
- As a Man [sic] Thinketh. An inspirational work
- Charles Bukowski The Rooming House Madrigals. Pure genious
- The Dhammapada. The Buddhist "Bible". I used to chant the whole of this in my temple in Bodh Gaya. It would take a few days. The temple was gorgeous, marble with the biggest brass Buddha in India. I used to stand on his hand to dust him. At first I found it very difficult to bless pilgrims that came in. I was full of self doubt. Then I realised that that too had to be given up.
- I, Robot Script - Dialogue Transcript. I enjoyed the movie
- Ulysses James Joyce
- C.S. Lewis Out of The Silent Planet. C.S. Lewis blew me away when I was a kid with his cosmogeny (is that the right word?)
- MANDY: So, you're astrologers,are you? Well, what is he then? WISE MAN #2: Hmm? MANDY: What star sign is he? WISE MAN #2: Uh, Capricorn. MANDY: Uhh, Capricorn, eh? What are they like? WISE MAN #2: Ooh, but... he is the son of God, our Messiah. WISE MAN #1: King of the Jews. MANDY: And that's Capricorn, is it?

- The following is all about brackets. When we write we often, by way of explanation put something in brackets to explain, reference or to expand on what we have written. What if that which is in brackets had a persona? An intelligence? A character all of its own? And surfaced in a blog…..Ok ok ok I slipped this in because I had fun writing it. : OnlyBrackets
- The Prajna Paramer Sutra, the perfection of wisdom sutra
- Native American Literature
Thats all for now. Will add some more as I find them. But here is my all time fav:
NB : Me and my friend Mick just spent 2 hours on what is below. I would read the line, he would "guess" the author and the book. Fom memory. He had read most of the books. He would then give me anecdotes about the authors,, we discussed the books (I have read alot of them) and laughed and thought. It was great. I love you Mick.!
