Extended Profile
From the list of books I've registered you could probably conclude that I mostly read science fiction, and for a lot of my formative years that was pretty true. These days I find myself reading far less Sci-fi and fantasy and a lot more Eastern philosophy
and esoteric, spiritual stuff. Actually I don't think the two are that different and it's only now as I discover more about the human mind, the Universe and quantum physics that I begin to understand how closely related the two really are. I was more interested
in the intoxicating lure of light sabers and fast spaceships to notice the spiritual and philosophical undertones of almost everything I read and watched. I realise now that I was only half reading books...
The ability to read is a great gift and a great way to get to know yourself.
