hooray a real book forum!


Just finished The Joyous Cosmology by Alan Watts (with foreward by Timothy Leary). Great book (albeit a touch outdated) on the topic of psychedelic drugs: LSD, Mescaline, and Psilocybin (mushrooms).

In the bathroom I'm about 80% done Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. Great book and great "artwork" from a great writer.

Raise the Bar by Jon Taffer (host of Spike TV's 'Bar Rescue'). First book I've finished in a long rear end time and it gave me the hunger for more. I've got a stack of 5 or 6 half-read sitting next to me, next up will either be Terry Pratchett's Thud, Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver or I might even go back and re-read a couple of favourites.

For anyone who's never heard of Taffer/Bar Rescue, it's an absolute gem for those of us in the industry. I highly recommend the book and the show to get a good insight on the bar business, how not to run a business and how to get people to listen to you.
