i got 'book on taboo against knowing who you are' 'buddhism, religion of no religion', and 'what is zen' about halfway done with the buddhism one, it's really awesome and explains buddhism much better than the 'buddhism for dummies' book i got a few years ago. he seems like a really insightful guy, makes buddhism sound a lot better, he have any other good books?

Humm humm humm...

I've heard good stuff about him.

I'll have to check it out. Sounds interesting.

Any online versions to give it a read-through before I buy something? :D

I used to be obsessed with Alan Watts, back when I was a "zen buddhist".


You think his books are good, get them on tape. Seriously. That voice...!

Alan Watt's home page (http://www.alanwatts.com/index.html)

I have a couple of his books, I think.  He explains things well.  Sometimes Zen authors have their heads so far up their own ass they start to lose the ability to converse with other humans, or maybe it's just me.  He makes sense and there is another one, a lady from California, I forget her name.  Carol somebody, I think, but I also think she changed it to some Zen thing. :wink:
