I don't think ye can get it on amazon. The book is now out of print. My mother went through hell to get it for me. She ended up getting it for me for Christmas from somewhere in NY.
Great book, BTW, I am learning quite a bit....it is scary how much the game is straight inc./khk/pathways/safe/kidsetc.....
I am learning better ways to get involved through this book. It is simply amazing.

Last night, I finished a slim copy of Robert J. Lifton’s Boundaries: Psychological Man in Revolution. Chapter 4 outlines his Protean Man. I’m making my way through Guernica. I can’t wait to get to Sean Carroll’s Endless Forms Most Beautiful which will lead nicely into Maria Sybylla Merian’s Chrysalis, my interest in which was reignited by a friend giving me Thomas Marent’s lavishly photographed Butterfly. I’m procrastinating a lot of other reading in favor of my current fantasy of running off and becoming a lepidopterist.

Live Through This: On Creativity and Self-Destruction Edited by Sabrina Chapadjiev (http://http://www.sevenstories.com/book/?GCOI=58322100238060)
And to ask if anyone happens to know if Unclaimed Experience: Trauma, Narrative and History by Cathy Caruth would be worth the while.

The woman is making me read some book titled, "Dragon House," for my personal betterment. So far I'm noticing I'm only getting crankier with each passing chapter.

Long Day's Journey Into Night, by Eugene O'Neill. I put off this classic for the longest time, and I'm glad I did. Not sure I would have appreciated it as much when I was younger...

Yes, but it's been a while...that's one I'll have to read again. Another thing of his I've got into reading (again, in part) during these recent years is the VALIS trilogy. Sonic Youth sparked my interest in PKD by mentioning the trilogy in an article I happened to see in SPIN magazine back in the late 80's; it was soon after this that I started reading his books, beginning with VALIS.

Sadly, refused to pay the exorbitant fees for John Briere’s texts on the list.
Additionally, a skim of Belen Mena's Pachanga was coveted dearly and deemed too rich for my blood at $195

Journey to the End of Night by Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Side Effects by Woody Allen
I liked reading those little books by Woody Allen; I read that one, and one called "Horsefeathers."
I got turned on to Celine via reading Bukowsi; read "Journey to the End of the Night" years ago (Also, I had known that Jim Morrison wrote a song inspired by its title, if not its thematics.) Later on I found a copy of another good one by him called "Guignol's Band," which I still have...

Have you ever read Castle To Castle by Celine? KInd of an erratic read, but interesting. It's the true story of the author and a bunch of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers and collaborators retreating from the advancing Allied armies. Celine actually did write some propaganda pamphlets for the Nazis during the Vichy France regime, and so earned a spot with the retreating Germans. No one in the party really knew who he was or what exactly he was doing with them; they had a vague notion that somehow he had ties to Partei big shots, so he was reluctantly accepted as they retreated from "Castle To Castle".
