黄易 尋秦記

anticipating my orders from chapters:

The Tao Of Wu
Sequel to the Wu Tang Manual, from the artist group Wu Tang Clan, a bunch of black rappers using Chinese wuxia literature as a theme to their songs. This book documents their road to success in the 90's.



Flood
Ark
Both books are disaster fiction leading to science fiction, Western literature seems to have a craze of an Armageddon. Global Warming leading to flood and then civilization is abandon on earth.  

Food of the Gods: The Search For The Original Tree Of Knowledge A Radical History Of Plants, Drugs
An interesting theory of how drug use shapes our society, the oppression of psychedelics and the promotion of alcohol give space for a male-dominant, egotistical society. We all seem to view psychedelics drugs as dangerous, but it may be the  stepping stone towards an egalitarian society.

The Wire Re-up: The Guardian Guide To The Greatest Tv Show Ever Made
Recap of themes in TV series called the Wire, this epic focus on urban decay and many American institutional failures through the drug trade in Baltimore, Maryland.

西遊記

A lot of my friends and family are complaining to me about my laziness, I am using my precious time to strive for intellect and a peace of mind, isn't that the most important in life? Industrial society think otherwise I suppose. I pay for my own food, pay for rent, pay for my parent's and friend's food sometimes, they say I could be more, meaning more materials? These so-called friends and family want you to conform to their industrial lifestyle, because they feel it's 100% right, they actually have anxiety over other people that are not them.

爭名奪利幾時休?早起遲眠不自由。
騎著驢騾思駿馬,官居宰相望王侯。
只愁衣食耽勞碌,何怕閻君就取勾。
繼子蔭孫圖富貴,更無一個肯回頭。

    I guess, if you are a father you may think otherwise.
I"m not saying they are totally right, but different position....could think differently.

I can't agree more as well. Some people simply "panic" when they see other people living a different lifestyle.
