I got a Barnes and Nobles gift certificate(and all their books are way over priced), there were a bunch of books i wanted, but they were all like ten dollars cheaper at amazon then they were at Bn, so I just ordered from Amazon. Now I'm looking for new shinier reccomendations for Occult and metaphysical books. DELIGHT YOURSELVES IN YOUR RECCOMENDATIONS.

No vampire shit, nobody wants to read about your Guano.

I'm not sure if I should be insulted or clap like a five year old school girl, but either way, fuck you!

Try and find a translation of the Necronomicon. I hear it's the oldest occult text in existence.

LOL, the necromonicon? There's so much crap surrounding that, that either H.P. Lovecraft wrote and distributed it himself to boost his Cthulean books, or some random other stuff. I already have a copy of that, anyway. You want a copy, pern? i have some other stuff by Lovecraft as well.

I've got all the Lovecraft I need right now, thanks.

It's sad because I've wasted all of our time with this thread, and I knew i would be doing so too. WHAT A DEVIL I AM.

I'd recommend The Golden Ratio. I think it would keep your interest, and it's better than that other crap you'll probably buy.

Um, that's Okay. I have eno ugh books about sacred geometry, and I'm pretty sure I've already read that one ;/
Besides, I have books that are actually about real sacred geometry, not scratching-the-surface-geometry.

Everybody Poops... the only philosophical book that you'll ever need. For example, are you aware that Jesus himself shit several times a week?

I thought punkgirl's joke, if it was a joke, was excellent.

I think I'm just going to go for a book on the study between the the Qabalah and modern physics, and hegels phenemonology(i need a mobile addition, i love his stuff). I kind of want something mobile of blatavatskies stuff since it gets eye hurtful to read it on my computer, but what can i do. It's only for 25 dollars.


On another note I'm getting a copyof; Philosophy of 'As If'
by H. Vaihinger :-d

Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s 'A Life in the Twentieth Century: Innocent Beginnings.'

Very compelling, and added much to my political viewpoints. Or rather, gave me plentiful material with which to defend my admittedly unpopular political beliefs. :)

My favorite "Political Writing" is by hekim bey. I HOPE THAT EXPLAINS THINGS TO YOUR SATISFACTION SIR.

CHAOS NEVER DIED, primordial uncarved block, sole worshipful monster. Inert and spontaneous, more ultraviolet than any mythology(like the shadows before babylon) the original undifferentiated oneness of being still radiates serene as the black pennants of assassins, random and perpetually intoxicated.
