Recently read books and movies I, Others? like

[Joseph Tracy]

Some folks are paranoid or perhaps just wisely cautious  these days about personal info but I'm going to list a few media inputs I have found worthwhile lately and would love to hear from others.

  This is Terrance Mckenna doing a wonderfully rich lecture about Finnegan's Wake. He also delves into Marshall Mcluhan and many interesting and appropriate  side trips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq9jmELA00U 

 The Japanese film Departures I found to be beautiful.

The Tao Te Ching in a variety of translations

Gary Snyder's  Practice of the Wild

The Man Who Planted Trees by Jim Robbins  ( This is not the famous short story  but a nonfiction work by a NYT science writer about a man who had a near death experience that caused him to start making clones of the largest and oldest trees in North America and now other bioregions. It leads into fascinating current science on trees.)

When the Moors ruled Europe  ( Netflix)
