Speaking of, I.made this for my son from a pizza pan from Walmart. Some hammers (3# sledge), a hitch of some sort (O shaped, 3 inch radius, and a smooth round metal ball. And a $20 auto dent repair kit with hammers included.

Had a lot of fun. Plastic larp stuff is cheaper, but hearing that metal sing from a good.blow? Priceless.


All right, Iā€™ll stay on topic from now on.

For herbs I like
The master grimoire herbs, oils, and incenses: their magickal uses and formulas by Pat Kirven Sawyer
The Herbal Magic Correspondences Guide by Brianna Blair
Cunninghamā€™s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs by Scott Cunningham

This classic is free on google books

The art of war by Sun Tzu
(Note on his name: The actual pinyin spelling of his name is Sun Zi 孫子 though which literally translates as ā€œgrandsonā€, and ā€œTzuā€ is the anglicized version. I think his birth name is Sun Wu)

Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Sadly, itā€™s based upon reality.

Thus Spake Zarathustra
Itā€™s a real head kicker. And have a marker pen for all the great quotes.

Aliceā€™s Adventures in Wonderland
Itā€™s the third most quoted book in English, after the Bible and Shakespeare, so it isnā€™t really a kidsā€™ book.

Hope these help!

Love Alice in wonderlandl!
Fiction wise I also loved Philip K Dickā€™s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Itā€™s short and a quick read.

I was recommended this book and Iā€™m about to start when Iā€™m done with exams in a week. It sounds good and I trust the person who recommended it (my physics professor who happens to have graduated from the same tiny weirdo college I went to for undergrad)
Einsteinā€™s Dreams by Alan Lightman.
Itā€™s a collection of Einsteinā€™s dreams when he was working on his theory of relativity, which actually was influenced by a dream about cows.

I havenā€™t finished this from cover to cover, but I like what I have read and it is practical
Chinese Shamanic Cosmic Orbit Qigo
: Esoteric Talismans, Mantras, and Mudras in Healing and Inner Cultivation by Zhongxian Wu

You and others probably have this one and itā€™s probably my first grimoire that I found in a small used book store for $3 when it fell off the shelf I was leaning on while nodding off on heroin. Lost it for a few years and then found it again when I got clean. The Necronomicon by ā€œSimonā€(Peter Levenda)

Iā€™ll add more when I think of anything.
I really like this thread! Always love hearing about books to read

Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka (never read this)

To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee (classic)

My nitpicked list of books, theyā€™re all a little heavy. The Kite Runner will make you cry, just a heads up.
