The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3) 882 reviews Philip Pullman
Del Rey, 2001
Book 3 worth getting to
+ Excellent! + Classic experience
I though Book 2 (Subtle Knife) was a bit slow, but book 3 takes it (and its characters) all the way to an exciting end, if not a brave new world.

Astral Projection And the Nature of Reality: Exploring the Out-of-body State 9 reviews John Magnus
Hampton Roads Pub Co, 2005
A very interesting perspective...
+ good book
Of all of the books about astral travel that I've read, this one has a totally unique perspective on the subject. I can't readily say that I agree with all of the details, but it really gives you a new way of looking at the entire OBE process...And sometimes that's just what you need!
Great book, ...

At first glance, one might think of Huxley's 'Brave New World' but this book goes beyond just showing one course that the future of man might take. 'Anthem' shows the course our future will take if mankind loses the most important aspect of being man - the ability to recognize individuality, the ...
