RECOMMENDED
READING LIST
and BOOK REVIEWS
Below, you will find a list of some books that
I've read that were insightful, interesting or just
a plain ole' good read. I put some comments
next to some of them, but that's not to say that
the others aren't as good. I just did not
want to write "good" , next to each one
so I just placed the comments on ones that warranted
extra comments. I have highly recommended some great
books as must reads.
If you are serious about learning to lucid dream,
you really should read at least MUST READS in the
DREAM-RELATED section for best resultzzz.
Many
of them are linked to corresponding pages on Amazon.com
where you can read more in-depth reviews of them,
and HOPEFULLY, this will make it that
much easier for you to BUY and READ them. The
more you read; the quicker you will progress;
so start reading, today. With the links
that are hooked up to them, you have no more excuses.
Just click on the link, buy them, and they will
show up at your door in no time. It doesn't
get any easier than that!!! I have not had
a chance to update this page in quite some time,
but I plan on adding some new good reads as time
allows.
ALWAYZZZ
