Books. I adore them. They've been my window to the world, other people, and to myself.
Although I enjoy fiction (that teaches), you'll see that non-fiction is my
true passion. My
taste in books has changed over the years. Putting this list together has been like a
visual representation of “where I've been, and where I am” .
The titles are organized similarly to a book store, by subject matter, then alphabetically by
author. I have rated what I believe to be  “must read” books.

Illusions, The Adventure of a Reluctant Messiah
by Richard Bach
This lighthearted, mystical adventure story about two barnstorming vagabonds
follows a thought-provoking dialogue between a guy named Richard and
a real Messiah who quit. I experienced my first “aha” experience
reading this book in college. It was like I was remembering something
I knew a long time ago, or had found a precious ring
after a long arduous search. Insight and humor abound.

What if we could meet the people we are destined to be in twenty years?
What if we could confront the people we were in the past, and those we
are right now in parallel
lifetimes, in alternate worlds?

If you've ever felt alone in a world of strangers, missing someone you've
never met, you'll find a message in this book. A GREAT love story!!

Out On A Limb
by Shirley MacLaine
I liked this book for many reasons. But the primary reason is, this woman
has
balls! She knew damn well she was going to get a lot of flack about this
book. She knew the possibility of ridicule, but she wrote it anyway.
She takes you on an intimate yet
powerful journey into her personal life and inner self. I enjoyed traveling
with her from Stockholm to Hawaii to the mountains of Peru. I was with
her as she struggled with her
disbelief till she reached radiant affirmation of who she was and discovered
her very roots of existence.

Conversations
With God
(Book 1)
by Neale Donald Walsch
A God with wit, humor, and who doesn't speak in parables? About time.
Neale isn't claiming to be the Messiah of a new religion, just a man
who sat down one day with pen in
his hand and some tough questions in his heart. As he wrote his questions
to God, he realized that God was answering them... directly... through
Walsch's pen. The result, far
from the apocalyptic predictions orcultic eccentricities you might expect,
turns out to be matter-fact, in-your-face wisdom that rings so true it's
hard to put down. As I started
reading this book, it was more like I was REMEMBERING the truths for
the first time.

If happiness was a science, Mr. Kaufman would be the premier scientist

The book shows how we as a society support unhappiness and gives us a
fresh perspective on who truly holds the reins of control in our
lives.

This book clarifies the complications and differences in "styles" between
men and women. I laughed all the way through it. And I can't tell you the number of times
I said "Honey, listen to this..." as I read to him stories
and situations we had been through also. The book stresses the importance
of TALKING to each other and HOW to
communicate. Ever wonder why men won't ask for directions? Read the book,
it's in there!

To Love is to

by Barry Neil
Kaufman
A must read for anyone that's in a relationship or wants to have a relationship
or has contact with other people. Have I missed anyone? Incredibly
simple yet packed full of insights into how we think and behave in relationships.
Mr. Kaufman shines
a light on all the beliefs we hold about love and relationships, and
how those beliefs lead us to fear, anxiety, distance, confusion, and
distrust, not love. Once I saw the
beliefs, it gave me the power to change them, and have the type of relationship
I always dreamed about. In my opinion, this book should be studied from
1st grade through life.
