AtD Pre-Read Reading

"In the protracted journey which was to follow, covering eventually most of the World-Island, it would not escape the boys' attention that something very peculiar indeed was going on down on the Surface. More and more often, detours became necessary. Entire blocks of sky were posted as off-limits. Now and then there would arrive, from nowhere immediately visible, great explosions of a deep and unprecedented intensity which caused structural members of the skycraft to groan and tremble."

Against the Day, p. 1022

I also think Prime Obsession by John Derbyshire is a good read too. The Michelson Morley experiment and the Vector/Quartnion debate (don't know good book on subject) and maybe some familiarity with Physics pre-Quantum & Relativity...

Some Jung. Some Hillman. He tries to go to new places in psychological understanding. Maybe The Proud Tower. All the Tom Swift you can find. Bridge on the Drina ( maybe). Gravity & Grace. Jules Verne. Ross McDonald.
