Yes, I'm enjoying it. The Buddhist element is a little bit dour (lacking in humour, as Buddhism can be Wink), but it's a fascinating read. I bought it in Glastonbury, in a rather good bookshop wedged between the ley lines and the Goddess shops. Very Happy I love the place. We camp at a site almost in the shadow of the Tor; so quiet and tranquil. My wife says she never sleeps as peacefully anywhere else as she does there.

OK i'm a little slow with some of the new stuff but off the long time ago best seller a book called "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. He has written a lot of books before and since this one i found to be quite good very Daoist in some respects.

And if you want to read another book out of the past that is done in a very different writing style try "In Watermelon Sugar"
