obviously these are not exhaustive. when it comes to the Big Deal writers, i try to read as much of their stuff as i can get my hands on. and so the books here are unsurprisingly the major works of major authors, but you will come to understand why that is so the more of them you read. i have spent a fair bit of time dwelling on Land, but my obsession with him came out of lots of other guys, and ultimately to get a sense of why i was so agitated by cynicism. now i know, but it's one of those 'we solve all our problems with bigger problems' things. meme politics sucks, but the philosophers don't really have the answers either. i still check ufblog and his twitter daily, but just trying to be a decent human being now is enough for me. hence the mysticism and perennial philosophy.

in the end it's all just so many jewels in indra's net, i think. to just try to be pleasant and appreciate the mystery, a water-bug on the surface of a deep ocean.
