5 Very Good Reasons To Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth - by: Matthew Inman (2011)

I found this book on the prison bookcart and grabbed it thinking it'd be good for a chuckle; it wasn't. It's just a book of tacky cartoons that would hardly impress a three-year-old, though judging by the language used it was meant for adults. The popularity of a book like this, and the Website it was taken from, is frightening.

Kundalin: The Evolutionary Energy in Man - by: Gopi Krishna (1967), With Psychological Commentary - by: James Hillman (1970)

An interesting account of the author's own unexpected incounter with "Kundalini" energy (i.e. pure conscious energy). I especially appreciated the psychological commentary which were decidedly Jungian. These comments helped to bring the author's experiences into a more "Western" light of understanding.

Memories, Dreams, Reflections - by: C. G. Jung (1961, 1989) Translated from the German by Richard and Clara Winston

When I found out (just recently) that Jung had written a memoir just before he died, I asked for a copy to be sent in to me so I could read it. Now, having done so, Jung is more of a hero in my eyes than ever. Of all the philosophers I have ever read (many), though Jung himself would probably choke if someone called him a philosopher to his face, I have found the fewest departures in Jungs thoughts from my own (though there are one or two). I would almost say I love this man, as a historical figure, which I have never said about anyone else. I can certainly identify with him.

Openness Mind: Self-Knowledge and Inner Peace Through Meditation - by: Tarthang Tulku (1978, 1990)

I got this book to help with my meditation in relation to lucid dreaming. I was surprised to find it to be one of the best books on meditation I have ever read (though I haven't read many).

Malevil (Fiction) - by: Robert Merle (1972), translated from the French by Derek Coltman (1973)

This book was recommended by a friend. I like the theme (post apocalyptic world) which I dream about often. It was also very well imagined and written. I found it engaging and especially liked the fact that the author actually took the theme to write a proper ending rather than just cut the story off after the climax. Bravo.

Discourses - by: Meher Baba (1967, 1987)

I picked this book off of the FDC bookcart because it claimed to be about devine love and yet wasn't Christian. I found it interesting, even if Baba was a bit deluded (he called himself the "Avatar of our age" and considered himself the second coming of Christ).

Dealing In Futures (sci-fi) - by: Joe Haldeman (1986)

A collection of short, well written stories. In the back, Haldeman says, "... if you're honest with yourself and not stupid, you must know that every writer has only one story, the one big story, and if he could live forever he would tell it a million different ways and never get it quite right."
