In reply to Books I'm thinking of reading. any suggestions?, posted by bookgurl99 on May 20, 2003, at 22:28:29
I have "Going to Pieces without falling apart" and I was reading it before my terminal sonolence struck (not caused by the book:) He has another book that's very good, "Thoughts Without A Thinker". Maybe if the Provigil works, I'll be able to get back to it, and not just dust it once in a while!
I haven't read the yoga book, but it is interesting sometimes to go back and read something you read years ago and see how far you've come (hopefully).
