Alan Watts



I've tried him before--The Supreme Identity was too dense, and The Wisdom of Insecurity made me more anxious. The Book, however, is clear, inventive, and interesting--but there's nothing new here (if you read books about mysticism/sprituality/psychology/quantum mechanics). That's not to say that The Book is entirely derivative, but That Which Laughingly Hides From Itself and makes up this great gooey soup called the universe has already figured out a lot of the stuff here and said it otherwheres.

It is damn nice to have some time to read again.
