The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker
The Automatic Homeowner Millionaire by David Bach
All about commodities by Russel R.Wasendorf
The power of Alpha-thinking by Jess Stern
The Great Gatsby by (scotts fitzgerald?)
Gangster by Lorenzo Carcaterra (do not be fooled by the title, very meaningful book).
reads like a bill gates reading list
Said the Shotgun to the Head by Saul Williams (the man is fucking insane...bothy meanings apply)
apparently, he's a pretty decent poet. i'm surprised; because, he's a fucking awful rapper
i haven't been reading too much lately. i've been enjoying my few weeks off from school. i have been listening to steve reich and a bunch of bossa nova, though; so, i think i'm cultured enough w/o the books
He is a pretty decent poet, but honestly I think he's a better musician. If you think he's an awful rapper, you should listen to a song that's not on NiggyTardust. I mean, I like that album, but it's not good as a rap album. His earlier stuff is much more interesting.
@ the music: meh. Check out theorchestral shit the Ian Anderson does/did during the Secret Language of Birds and Rupi's Dance eras up to now. Some really fuckin' interesting stuff there. But also...read.
@SeBas: I've read parts of the Inferno, if that does anything for you. I'd recommend it for sure.
