(en) Daily Meditations by Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov.





Apart from that, I'd also like to share something else, that is not a book.
Once, some years back, I got quite captivated in reading a certain thread on the shroomery.org forum...



...,which consists a colourful and well written account by a forum member (and follow up by other members), of the forum's annual Northeast gathering of 2005, in Ohio;
where members from all over the US and Canada get together for a week of camping in the woods and doing their thing.

"There and Back Again: A Shroomerites Tale"

Spoiler!

I did not know the forum, I must have discovered it somewhat randomly, but personally found it to be an extremely entertaining and extremely immersive read, like a good short story. I was visualizing it all in my head, like a movie.

I liked it so much that, after I read it the first time, and then proceeded to loose track of its web whereabouts, I didn't give up on trying to find it again for years, like some cool song you heard on the radio as a kid, until I recently finally found it and thoroughly rejoiced at reading it again.

The character descriptions, the inside jokes, the accounts of contact with the Divine, the photos that adorn the story... what a non-fiction blast. ♥

This girl who's the author has a tallent for writing, as many others have pointed out.


God, this Shroomery forum...
we ain't got shit on them.

She's a Jewess. It doesn't stand against her. Just maybe think of it where it may be of relevance. Regardless of this I heard postive feed back regarding her books, including from my mother.

"Die Langobarden" by Stefan Esders from the very good and respected series "Beck Wissen". I observed that undertaking since some years and it now was published on the 15th of March 2023 and I immediately bought it.

This series is pretty odd and an interesting approach. All books have 127 or 128 pages only. The authors are selected by the respected publisher to only be the most recognized experts and on the other hand all footnotes with sources etc. are refrained from (sic). An interesting policy but I can report that also as a very critical reader I never had any serious complaints about products from this series that comprises of many hundreds of books.

What's more relevant than being Jewish is that she's not a historian. If she was a suburban housewife who wrote about WW1 would anyone have cared? There is a benefit to being born in one family instead of another.

The Fall by Camus. I'm trying to read more fiction.
