Daytripper is about a Brazillian writer who goes through a surreal journey of existentialism. He reflects on life and death and spirituality. If you're into reading a great comic not about a superhero. I can highly recommend it.







huge cosine, this is a great work.

This is maybe the best book I've read in a long time. Therapeautic healing, lucid dreaming and creativity lessons Jodorowsky style.










Hey Spidey, I just wanted to sincerely thank you for this recommendation. I've been going through some life changes recently, and Jodorowsky's writing came at the absolute perfect moment. I've seen his films, of course, and knew about his comics, but did not know about Psychomagic. I watched an hour long thing on Psychomagic on youtube, read his Spiritual Journey first, and now this, and I find much of the content truly exhilarating. I'm sure it's a bit too far out there for most people, but I loved it, so thanks.




Cool man, I'm glad you got something from tgat book. I've been re-reading bits of it just to analyze his thought process, and explanations. I feel like observing his thoughts has definitely help lift my creativity to another level.





saludo,

Just finished these two and I now I understand why they're so popular. Solid reads for the thinking man.

On Saturday afternoon I posted a pic (on FB) of this book that I'm reading while at lunch at the university campus. I was only two chapters in but I was compelled to share it to see if any of my friends were up on it, especially my old graf buddies. As it turns out, the author's a friend of O-Dub and by some weird coincidence, the dude was speaking at the book festival at the same time I posted a pic at the same university. (He was literally across the street from where I was having lunch. I had absolutely no idea.) Less than 24 hours later I'm hanging out with the dude eating Mexican food and taking him to some local record spots. Social networking is a TRIP.

As far as the book goes...like I said, I'm only two chapters in but I'm really diggin' it. I don't know where the story goes yet so I don't know who to recommend it too, but I will say the first couple chapters had me itchin' to rock a burner and I haven't touched a can in ages!





P.S. Dude also wrote Go The F*k To Sleep.
 
Is this thread for books we are reading right now or can we post our our books as subjects of objectification? I am cool with either.
