The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama.


That book changed my life spoon.

for about 2 yrs, and then i rapidly became the brown crack whore of surrey. But seriously, everyone should read that book.

A book which took me an hour to read.

Paul Arden's "God Explained in a Taxi Ride"... simple and beautiful.

Ways of seeing - John Berger. I kid you not, i died reading this @ uni, read it again a few months ago and really understood it more.. it's funny what age does to you.

I've just finished Shantaram... Thought it was interesting to say the least...


it takes about 30/45 mins to get through ONE chapter, but it's thoroughly enjoyable.

Yeah, Art of Happiness is a good one, but was a bit strange in that alot of the things that the DL said were things that I say and treat the way I live my life anyway.
I am enlightened all by myself !
