have not been tagged, not gonna tag, not gonna name 10. but books that have stayed with me? -The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks did more to change my mind about the mind than any other. Once you meet the lady whos All Right, or chatted with that Tragic Mariner you can never see your own point of view the same way again. ive recommended this book to all comers for decades. An easy summer read. An entirely humane author. A mind-blowing discovery. -Talking at the Boundries by David Anton is an oddly fomatted book. All caps and no punctuation. But in it Anton revolutionized my thinking about maps, perception, the inner vs outer and the nature of life and learning. - A Spy in the House of Love by Anais Nin was a revelation about writing and the femenine. Discovering her five novels was to find an entirely new kind of expression. Opposite of most trajectories, it was the writing of Anna Kavan that turned me onto Anais and Nin who turned me onto Henry Miller - somehow like me to start with the most obscure and work backwards. -I see my battery is dying so Ill end with Galactic Pot Healer by Philip K. Dick. His best book is inarguably Man in The High Castle, but his OTHER best... Well he just seems so relaxed at this writing. Hes at his wittiest and most inventive, here. God, at one point in this book, becomes depressed. And why should that be so suprising?
