Book List
1. Wilderness Survival – great book, lots of diagrams. now i know how to tie some knots, how to tell edible plants, and how to tie turniquets, and some other random stuff. Left the book in a guesthouse in Cambodia.
2. Lucifers Hammer – about a group of people trying to survive a near apocalyptic comet strike. PREPARE people! Canned food and ammunition. Gave the book to a friend.
3. 1984 – random trivia: George Orwell’s real name is Eric Arthur Blair. You learn something new every day, you’re welcome. Borrowed and gave back to Becky from Canada.
4. F.B.I. by Robert Kessler – inside look at the organization, its strenghts as well as all its flaws. I may apply, if they are lucky and arm me accordingly. Left in a gueshouse in Cambodia.
5. Fire Ice by Clive Cussler – an easy read, generic thriller. Gave to Becky, I think she lost it after not reading it…no loss.
6. First They Killed My Father by Loung Ung – gripping first hand account of life through the Khemer Rouge era in Cambodia. Stark and real. Bought in Cambodia, gave to Becky.
7. Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol – crazy ass book. classic. this guy was weird. left somewhere or gave to Becky.
8. Buddhism Explained by Laurence-Khantipalo Mills – what buddhism is all about. weird shit. they believe in other realms of existence, higher gods than christianity and islam, who they claim are gods, but lower gods deluded into thinking they are eternal…the buddha apparently visted a few of them and told them whats up. lower down the chain are humans, then animals, then hungry ghosts, then the people in hell (who apparently can be on earth in the form of mentally deranged people). Very informative. Meditation is key. Gave the book back to Becky, it was hers.
9. The Beach by Alex Garland – the book is fucking sweet. his writing is spot on to what its like in a few parts of Thailand, and it was cool to be in the exact places he talks about, as well as where the movie was filmed. A great book regardless.
10. The Life of Pi by Vaan Martel – GREAT BOOK about a person stuck on a raft in the middle of the ocean for about 170 days with a bengal tiger. Borrowed from Myra (holland) OMSTERDOM! and gave back to her before she went back home. Highly recomend this one. easy and fun.
11. 7 Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence – The book written by the real man, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. After the first 10 chapters it gets really cool, and thats where I’m at now.
12. Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis – Part of ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ , great book. Thought it was childish in the beginning, but it unravels nicely into a good tale.
13. Return of the King, Tolkien. Classic.
