Post DaDornta's July-August Booklist!

Well I went to the bookstore the other day and I decided on a few books. I'm still reading "The Tibetan Book of the Dead", but once done I plan to read the 4 I just bought used for 20$

1. Some old book on runes

2. "I Ching - An Introductory Guide to Working with the Chinese Oracle of Change" by Stephen Karcher

3. The Upanishads - Translated from Sandskrit by Swami Prabhavananda and Fredrick Manchester

4. The Bhagavad Gita - Translated and with preface by Eknath Easwaran

Thats my my next few books...anyone else currently reading these? Or if you want to, we could start a discussion on them as we read them concurently.

Yay for new books!

I own and have read all of those books except the first one on your list. They are all "classics". The Book of the deadvis heavy shit and don't waste time skimming over it. I use it now more of a reference book more than anything else. the Gita and Upanishads are both relatively short, however, they encompass an eternity's worth of knowlege. They are books that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Although it is off the Hindu path, I would also HIGHLY reccomend getting a copy of the Tao Te Ching, if you havn't already read it.
