Book - "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud - A comic book about how
comic books "work". I have absolutely no interest in comics whatsoever, but
this is easily the most fascinating book I've ever read. If you have any
interest in art and how the human mind works, you REALLY should check it
out. One of my all-time favorites.

Movie - "Bottle Rocket" directed by Wes Anderson - Everyone here should see
this movie.

Music - "I See a Darkness" by Bonnie "Prince" Billie - This record has been
out for a while (early 99), but I just got it a few days ago and it's
rocking my world. Possibly the most bizzarely enjoyable album I've heard
since "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea". The title track is so beautiful you
could pass out and bang your head on something.

i'm in the middle of reading a book called "the unbearable lightness of 
being" by milan kundera. it is so very excellent. and an added bonus for any 
bright eyes fans is that they obviously thought highly of the book as well. 
many songs carry similar themes that the book deals with, and on "letting off 
the happiness" the last song is called tomas and tereza, after 2 main 
characters in the book. go read it. - GINA

I actually didn't get into On the Road. I mean, I guess I liked it, but it 
did nothing for me the way other books have.

the way of the peaceful warrior by dan millman
possible one of the greatest books ever that when you put it down you 
have all chills. it is a book that makes you live life in a totally new way. 
youll understand :)
the author has more books on the same subject as peaceful warrior, so 
Everyday Enlightenment is good too.

My favorite book (The History of Luminous Motion, by Scott Bradfield) was just 
released as a film. This project has been in the works since 1994, and from what I saw 
of it on "At the Angelika", the filmmakers screwed up, big time. Makes me sad...

  I've seen this before and considered picking it up.  I didn't.  Maybe 
I will.

  Three recommendations;

  Title:  Slaughterhouse-Five (or The Children's Crusade)
  By:  Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
  Genre:  Fiction

  I'm not entirely sure commentary is even needed for this one, as it's 
become a near-classic.  Vonnegut describes his experiences in World War II, 
culminating with the bombing of Dresden, Germany, in third-person with a 
sci-fi twist involving his admission into a human zoo on the planet of 
Tralfamadore, where they have a very different outlook on the concept of 
time.  It's just really damned good.  Probably my favorite book ever.

  --

  Title:  The Teachings of Don Juan; A Yaqui Way Of Knowledge
  By:  Carlos Castaneda
  Genre:  Philosophy/Anthropology/New Age

  Although it's in the non-fiction section of bookstores and libraries, 
it's so extraordinary that you can't really tell if Castaneda is lying or 
not.  This book details Castaneda's magical training through the use of 
natural hallucinogenic plants (namely peyote and mescaline) under the 
tutelage of a Yaqui Indian sorceror named Don Juan down near Sonora, 
Mexico.  I cannot stress how fantastic this book is, as long as you're into 
the subject matter.

  --

  Title(s):  Dragons of Autumn Twilight
   Dragons of Winter Night
   Dragons of Spring Dawning
  By:  Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
  Genre:  Fantasy

  This is actually the Chronicles trilogy in the TSR/DD Dragonlance 
line of fantasy novels.  In retrospect, the books are somewhat amateurish 
and sometimes cliched, but for a good year in my early teens, I never 
stopped reading it.  It was also the first novels to ever come out of the 
DD gaming machine.  Of course, you have to be into fantasy in the first 
place to even like it -- if you are and you haven't read this trilogy, it's 
Grade A Material, guaranteed.  Once in a while I'll still re-read 
chapters.  This series also includes one of my favorite literary characters 
of all time, Raistlin Majere.  Yes, I am a dork at heart.
