Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming - by: Stephen LaBerge, Ph.D and Howard Rheingold (1990)

I have read about lucid dreams before (many years ago) and have had lots of lucid dreams myself. But I'm hoping to start having even more and learning to be a real oneisonaut (dream explorer). This book has exactly all the information I need to do so, I'm really excited about the possibilities.

The Idiot - by: Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1913 Garnett translation, 2003 Dover edition)

A lucky find on the Seatac FDC bookcart. I've read two of Dostoyevsky's other books in the past (Anna Karenina and Crime and Punishment), but I like this one best so far. Prince Myshkin is Dostoyevsky's best character yet.

Fahrenheit 451 - by: Ray Bradbury (1953)

I had been interested in reading this book for some time and I got lucky and found it on the bookcart at Ada County Jail. I've always enjoyed Bradbury's poetic flair, and especially his later works. This was one of his earliest, but still a good one.

I Confess - by: Johannes Mario Simmel (1968, 1977 translation from German: Ich Gestehe Alles)

When I arrived at Seatac Federal Detention I asked for, "something to read". This is one of two books I was handed through the bean-slot. The other book was a genre I could never palate (romance, but this one wasn't bad at all, for fiction. It was written in post-war Germany, so it had some interesting cultural references that typically get lost with time.

11/22/63 - by: Stephen King (Fiction 2011)

Another inmate loaned me this book to read. I think it is the best King book yet, and I enjoyed it very much.

Under the Dome - by: Stephen King (Fiction 2009)

I don't generally read fiction very much, but when I do I like King's intelligence, imagination, and attention to detail (well researched stories). His books seem to get better as he gets older also.

The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory - by: Brian Greene (1999)

I heard this book refered to in a science fiction movie and thought I'd read it to understand the reference better. I think Greene, and other physicists like him, would make a lot more progress if they simply let go of the rigid constructs of their religion (i.e. science) and followed their bliss (as Joseph Campbell might say).
