My usual reading is of a spiritual and historical nature. I have recently been sampling some recommended fiction too. Virginia Woolf has been suggested, any thoughts on her, best work etc?

Hi Ron,
Out of curiousity, which book are you using? I used to teach QM until a few years ago and I am always curious to see who prefers which book.

I'm reading "The Quiet American", by Graham Greene.

I'm sure I saw it as a film some years ago, but you can't improve on the images that arise from reading.

Yes, Woodscooter, The images in your head from reading far exceed most if not all the images you get from watching a show. 100% on the button. So to speak.

Hi everybody,
I'm reading (again) one of Ajahn Brahm's books : "the Art of Disappearing".

Quotes :
" The true purpose of practicing Buddhism is to let go of everything. (...) All successful meditators are losers. They lose their attachments. Enlightened ones lose everything. They truly are the Biggest Loser. (...) May you all Get Lost".

"Wherever you live -in a monastery, in a city, or on a quiet tree-lined street- you will always experience problems and difficulties. This is just the nature of life. So when you have problems with your health, you shouldn't say : Doctor, there is something wrong with me, I'm sick.
Rather you should say : Doctor, there is something right with me, I'm sick today."

I must admit, it's hard to say so ...

Thanks for that, Cyril. Your Ajahn Brahm quotes gave me the best laugh of the day. I laugh because they are true!
