^^^^^I've read this (not the Journey of Socrates) several times, and it's definitely one of my favorites, However I haven't gotten to any of Millman's follow up books. I know he's written several.

I feel like he fell off in the deep end of the self-help genre, which isn't always bad, but I couldn't get into them. Also, I got a little turned off with The Way of the Peaceful Warrior movie.

i forgot to mention Catcher in the Rye

probably my favorite novel:

and the less serious version

eeek! do you make time to read? i feel like just getting through infinite jest, either/or, being and nothingness and das kapital would take me a few years.

some of my favorite philosophy works: finite and infinite games, simulacra and simulation, athens and jerusalem, society of the spectacle, myth of sisyphus, negative dialectics, phenomenology of spirit, beyond good and evil, tractatus logico-philosophicus, (spinoza's) ethics, anything meister eckhart, differance, pleasure of the text and death of the author

I was actually looking into getting dhalgren, how is it?

in my eyes it is pure awesomeness. it's circular meta-fiction, incredibly well written, great characters, a deconstruction of the sci-fi epic, very relevant and interesting for its politics and social relations... read it, definitely.

I love R.A. Wilson's non-fiction, but I simply couldn't get into The Illuminatus Trilogy.

I am also looking into getting more into phenomenology of spirit.
Any recommendations?

One of my favourite authors and books...it's angsty..not existential angst or anything like that...just a prick writing about his experiences...it's funny as all hell though.

The main storyline in most dostoevsky books usually take place over the course of the week or so...he captures human psychology really well, even secondary characters are fully fleshed out. You could replace this with the devils or crime and punishment. I just know I likes this one.


...also most raymond chandler and william styrons "confessions of nat turner".

Black, gay and writes sci-fi. I'm downloading this shizznit...:|

recommendations in terms of novels, you mean?
