Good evening, /lit/. Hopefully you're all having a pleasant night.

As of late, I've been interested in checking out Buddhism, but I don't know where to start. Any recommendations?

Books about Siddhartha's life are probably the usual starting point.

Thank you. I'll be watching the final episode of Twin Peaks later. My first time watching the series, and the idea of finishing it fills me with a great sadness. Of course, I still have the movie to look forward to, but..

And thank you. Seems obvious enough, but something I completely overlooked regardless!

Hey, dumbass, siddartha isn't about siddartha gautma
(buddah), but rather a fictonal character sharing his name.

Clearly has not read Siddhartha.

Read the book anyway, OP. It's a good one.

Will do.

Well, that song certainly cracked me up. It was somewhat sad at the same time, seeing so many scenes from the show as I'm nearing its end..

It's funny you should mention that book.. I've been meaning to look into Kerouac's works.

Hopefully you're still browsing.. I'm watching on CBS.com. They have the entire series in their "classics" section, with the exception of the Pilot and episode #25, "Wounds and Scars". Fortunately, I have links to both.

Pilot: http://tvmoviecentral.com/Twin-Peaks/tv/season-1/episode-1-pilot/source-primary

#25, "Wounds and Scars": http://www.tv.com/video/10464537/twin-peaks--wounds-and-scars?tag=vid_carousel;vid;4

Enjoy.. It really is a wonderful series!
