The Freeway: Two Young Artists In Love, On The Road In Search of Home 1 review Dori DeCamillis
BookSurge Publishing, 2002
Great read!
I'm glad to see this book is still in print. It deserved far more publicity from its publisher -- it's funny, moving, interesting. If there had been reality TV back when Dori and Joe were traveling, their journey would have made one great show, and they'd be stars right now. I highly recommend this ...

Cave in the Snow: Tenzin Palmo's Quest for Enlightenment 31 reviews Vicki Mackenzie
Bloomsbury USA, 1999
A Woman Apart
+ True Tale of a Bodhisattva-to-Be + Alone on a Mountaintop
This book exceeded my high expectations.
First off it is a well told life story of a western woman drawn to Buddhism. That spiritual attraction is not so unusual, but her subseqent move to India, and the related discomforts she overcame long before starting her years of seclusion were truly ...

Woman on the Edge of Time 90 reviews Marge Piercy
Fawcett, 1985
If you were inspired by this novel, check on books on social ecology!
+ Simply amazing + Neat !
Marge Piercy's "Woman on the Edge of Time," is perhaps my favorite utopian novel. I speak here of utopia as a "good place," not a "perfect imaginary place," though the two are often confused. This novel is a prime example of a wonderful critical utopia, showing utopia not as a static "end of ...

Herland 25 reviews Charlotte Perkins Gilman
BiblioBazaar, 2007
Where No Men Exist
+ Misunderstood + good service
In her novel of a positive utopia made up only of women, Gilman gives us a vision of what perfection would be like, if only the inevitable power, money and sex did not get in the way of things. In Herland, there are no men thus eliminating the sex motivations. And they live a highly socialized ...

I borrowed this CD from a friend, had no idea who LJ was, and immediately recognized their hit "Naked Eye." After listening to that song over and over, I listened to the rest of the CD, and it's all wonderful. They're creative and inventive, interesting, and the music is delicious. It's now my ...
