Ishmael by Daniel Quinn

"The narrator of this extraordinary tale is a man in search for truth. He answers an ad in a local newspaper from a teacher looking for serious pupils, only to find himself alone in an abandoned office with a full-grown gorilla who is nibbling delicately on a slender branch. "You are the teacher?" he asks incredulously. "I am the teacher," the gorilla replies. Ishmael is a creature of immense wisdom and he has a story to tell, one that no other human being has ever heard. It is a story that extends backward and forward over the lifespan of the earth from the birth of time to a future there is still time save. Like all great teachers, Ishmael refuses to make the lesson easy; he demands the final illumination to come from within ourselves. Is it man's destiny to rule the world? Or is it a higher destiny possible for him-- one more wonderful than he has ever imagined?"

FROM Krigh: This is a personal favourite of mine. I recommend it to everyone out there. It's an easy read, but one that may just change the way to see the world for ever. No joke. The quote on the front of the book sums it up so well:

"From now on I will divide all books I have ever read into two categories -- those I have read before Ishmael and those read after."

The Story of B by Daniel Quinn

Father Jared Osborne journeys to Europe to seek out the one the masses call "B"--whom the church calls the Antichrist. B's message returns us to the time, millions of years ago, before mankind's "Great Forgetting," when the earth had a single religion-- a deep spiritual connection to the universe that was as unconscious as breathing. Heald's performance is masterful, almost intoxicating. The very nature of the story demands that it be heard, the way Jared hears B's teachings. Listeners are directly included in the story's final moments. More than a suspenseful story of good versus evil, The STORY OF B is about the power of minds that have changed--and chosen the truth.

No Logo by Naomi Klien

No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies is another one of those everyone should read. In No Logo, Klein patiently demonstrates, step by step, how brands have become ubiquitous, not just in media and on the street but increasingly in the schools as well. It is a book that no smart consumer should be without.

The Beach by Alex Garland

In our ever-shrinking world, where popular Western culture seems to have infected every nation on the planet, it is hard to find even a small niche of unspoiled land--forget searching for pristine islands or continents. This is the situation in Alex Garland's debut novel, The Beach. Human progress has reduced Eden to a secret little beach near Thailand.
