Your Jedi Library: was created by

Since I began my Jedi Path, I’ve found that there are countless materials out there to read and discover from. I am interested in hearing what your personal favorites have been, which ones had the greatest impact on your lives, and which one’s you discovered the most from. Please list as few or as many as you would like, and feel free express what you got out of said book(s).

I am very interested in seeing what everyone has found to be the most valuable while on their own Jedi Path.

That was a pleasant surprise to be sure, lol. I've updated it in the last 48 hours, check out my Facebook profile or page, and your welcome!

Here's what's on my e reader at the current moment, probably should update it as I see a few older files I've not read in a while...

Not so much a "Jedi" library as a "My" library:

Oxford Concise English Dictionary
World Atlas
Selection of International Newspapers
Stella Gibbons: Cold Comfort Farm
Oxford Book of Tudor Anthems
All my handwritten notebooks; a rather large stack of stolen pens; and a smuggled in packet of mints.

I like both of these, find lots of stuff to vibe with. Zen, I've been idly thinking about whether (and how) Robert Bruce's NEW could make a DQS lesson. His mobile body awareness teaching was a worthwhile experience.

@Preston, you'll see most of my own list in the fullness of time, 'cause I plan to make you read most of them. ;) But you've got Bortolin on there, that was a huge influence in my earliest days. One more freebie: The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle.

Why would you? Once you grok the thesis, there's no point in re-reading it, right? :D

100% true. BUT a bit like Cold Comfort Farm and Tudor Anthems, there's sommat nice about re-reading familiar words/re-singing familiar songs in new places and times. Not tried it with revisiting a timeless idea.
