“Evelyn Waugh's stories on South East Asia.
Stephen Venables Climb of the Kangshung Face of Everest.
The Tibetan Book Of the Dead.
Hippos Go Beserk!”

“Bunyip reminds me of a book I loved:

The American Book of the Dead by EJ Gold... I liked it even more than the Tibetan Book... There are several different versions, but the original was the best.

He also has an abbreviated version called "The Lazy Man's Guide to Death and Dying" and a tape called "How to Raise yourself from the Dead in 49 days or less."

(PS: I wasn't the best student with this series, and was unable to fully raise myself from the dead)”

“Thankyou for the vote of confidence, new.
I also suggest Sherman Alexy's books, "The Toughest Indian in the World", and "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven". Pure enjoyment and gives you some insight into what it's like to be a modern Indian.”

“Dunadan, my brother sent me both of those books and they await my attention. From him, that was quite an endorsement, as he reads voraciously and is not one to praise lightly.”

“tehipite, I got part way into Libra when it first came out, but it didn't click for me at the time. My wife has read Underworld, and that giant volume sits on her dresser daring me to pick it up. Between teaching and my own sagging bookshelves, I'm overwhelmed with reading options for the forseeable future.”
