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.
