Please state what you are reading right now, this summer! If you would like to recommend anything HOT for those not reading a book right now, please share

I am currently reading "Jim Morrison; Life, Death, Legend" by Stephen Davis.

I like it because it gives a lot of info. about the 60's, in chronological time.

An East Indian Guru....he employs teachings of all the great masters with an emphisis on Eastern (go figure) tradition....he mentions heavily in his teachings Jesus, Buddha and various other "masters."

My favirot books of his, so far are

"love, freedom, alonesess, the koan of relationships." I highly recommend this one for anyone, regardless of religious or spiritual beliefs...

and...

"Maturity"

Formerly the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh....now has left this earthly plane...Osho....

I am also re-reading (I read many books at once---Merc in Aqua???----) a wonderful woman-inspired and inspiring text called "Positive Energy" by Judith Orfoff, MD...she is an "energy psychiatrist" and an empath...wonderful, wonderful read!!!

With blessings I send you all to.....

LOL I also like to read many books at once ~ but I have Merc in Aries.

How did the name Osho come about? I mean, is it his initials?
