Facts idk where to start
IMO Alan Watts is the most accessible, thoughtful speaker/writer on spiritual topics of all time. So I'd start there.
I'd also recommend Varieties of Religious Experience early. Although reading the wikipedia entry will probably suffice because that s*** was mad dry to me when i read it a long time ago.
Also all the transcendentalists (Thoreau, Emerson) are great. IDK your exact interests however
Oct 31, 2019I've been on a Houellebecq kick but it is starting to get too depressing lol. I need something healthy for the spirit, thinking maybe Chesterton
