The Mind's Own Physician: A Scientific Dialogue with the Dalai Lama on the Healing Power of Meditation This is basically the transcripts of a summit which brought the Dalai Llama and many of his contemporaries together with leaders in the forefront of neuroscience and contemplative psychology to discuss the psychological and physical benefits of meditation. So far it's been a very enlightening read. Pun intended.
 The Lives They Left Behind: Suitcases From a State Hospital Attic I grew up across the street from one of the oldest and largest mental asylums in the state of New York: The Willard State Asylum, later to be renamed Willard Psychiatric Center. Surprisingly, it wasn't until very recently that I became curious enough to go digging into its history. This was the only book on Amazon that I was able to find. I've only briefly skimmed through it, but I'm sure it's going to be a very interesting.

A Drink Before the War by Dennis Lehane
 About 3/4 of the way through now, and it's remarkable. Picking up the whole series after this.

 i got the first volume last night and read the entire 150+ comic in less than a half hour.....seriously it was that good and that gripping "A cross between Bambi and Cormac McCarthy's The Road" the art is actually really fitting for the feel of the story, and i love the fact that layout is in a very traditional comic way.....which i'm sure helped with the flow of the story i'm just pissed at myself for only buying Vol 1.....i ordered 2-4 last night and will have to wait til november for 5 i highly suggest this |

Twice a Spy by Keith Thompson
After tearing through the first book, 'Once a Spy' last year in a fit of epic boredom, I decided to pick this up to see what Thopson had in store. He comes across extremely long-winded and overly detailed at times, but if you power through it, the character development and storyline make up for the difference. I'm about 150 pages in and so far I would recommend it for any fan of suspense/action novels. My only caveat being, read the first book first.
