			<link>http://thegoreanforum25823.yuku.com/topic/2384/t/Secret-Communication.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ This secret communication has been around a lot longer than people think. And we apparently are not supposed to do it. We at least are not supposed to make it happen the way it usually happens.<br><br>The story of Adam and Eve is about this.<br><br>  Gold told Adam and Eve that they may eat from the fruit of every tree but not the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This was always thought of as an apple tree.<br><br>It wasnt an apple tree.<br><br>It was a human.<br><br>And it wasnt an... ]]></description>

			<link>http://thegoreanforum25823.yuku.com/topic/2385/t/The-Blank-Slate-by-Steven-Pinker.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ This book, if you haven't seen it already, describes how science is more and more finding that human behavior is based largely on the physical operation of the brain, which is itself heavily influenced by genetics.  But more than this Pinker describes how the academic world has resisted these findings, clinging instead to an ideology of pure behaviorism.  As a professor at Harvard, Pinker has had a front row seat to the excesses of ideologues in the academy, including, for our purposes here,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Randy got me started on this series and I'm truly enjoying it.  <br><br>Book one is &quot;The Eye of the World&quot; where we meet the main characters who affect the world around them just by being who they are, and begin to follow their paths as they grow and learn about their abilities and destinies, which, according to the prophesies, will lead them to &quot;the final battle,&quot; the end of the world as it is known.<br><br>Obviously it's more complicated and intriguing than I could... ]]></description>

			<link>http://thegoreanforum25823.yuku.com/topic/2390/t/-quot-First-Seal-quot-Roy-Boehm-amp-Charles-W-Sasser.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ This is the tale of the Founder of the U.S. Navy's SEAL Teams. I will quote, briefly:&quot; A man HAD to do what he thought right, else he wasn't much of a man.&quot; (pg. 132, paperback). Now, I seriously doubt Roy Boehm has ever heard of Norman, or Gor. I'll guarantee he's lived it, in his own way. Read the book, and then tell me otherwise. This sailor came from the days of &quot; wooden ships and iron men.&quot; I recommend it highly, to those who understand that Gor is honor... ]]></description>

			<link>http://thegoreanforum25823.yuku.com/topic/2394/t/Witness-of-Gor-Reader-Feedback-Requested.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Well, the book has been shipped and availble for a little while now. Any feedback? I spoke to one girl who has been reading it and she says it basically sucks. Not much on action. Lot of rehash of old philosophy talk Norman has already gone over in past books. <br><br>I was kinda worried about this because as someone who has read the first 25 books the story was getting kinda old towards the end. Norman is well known for his redundant explaining of the Gorean Philosphy. Might be good for the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ When I went in to get &quot;A game of Thrones&quot; I got to talking with the guy at the check out counter about fantast books.  He said if I liked Tolkien's work and the D &amp; D kind of stuff, I would love this book.  I bought the first one, which is 836 pages long, and come to find out there are (I think) seven books in the series right now.  So, before I start this series, I was wondering if any of you had read them and if you thought they were any good?<br><br>Thanks<br>Sierra {WBL}<br> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If you like science fiction,I would whole heartily recommend anything written by Marion Zimmer Bradley . I love her Darkover series . These books also speak of a world with very different customs and ways of looking at the roles that men and women play in society . Throw in the fact that for generations families have  been bred for various telepathic &quot; gifts&quot; and a political twist that makes it  a world caught in the clash of two cultures and you have a fantastic setting for some... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This list of books, like the literature one I posted below, are books I found either unique or excellent reading.<br><br><br>&quot;Celestial Matters&quot; by Richard Garfinkle<br>     This book is based upon the ideas that the ancient philosophers like Plato were correct in their understanding of nature, ie 4 elements (water, fire, air, and earth).  A very interesting book though like Norman, the subject matter is slightly more interesting than the actual writing.<br><br>&quot;Centurion's... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Sometimes one comes across people with foresight that is difficult to explain.  Toqueville was one such person.  His book, Democracy in America, shines light on not merely some of the strengths of this great country, but also some of the weaknesses and potential flaws to the future.  The french anthropologist writes both well, and with a unique perspective that anyone interested in American Political theory might find both insightful and refreshing.<br><br>Here is a link to an online source... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Though she has written only a few novels, her writing style is very ..... I'm not sure the exact word I am looking for. She is one of those writers who can write a passage in a way that you can close your eyes and picture the scene in every detail. &quot;War for the Oaks&quot; is by far what I consider her best work followed closely by &quot;Falcon&quot; and &quot;Freedom and Necessity&quot;. After a couple other novels she got into editing the &quot;Liavek&quot; anthologies and sort of faded... ]]></description>

			<link>http://thegoreanforum25823.yuku.com/topic/2383/t/Jacqueline-Carey.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ This is a newly published author whose writing is quite simply breaktaking. Her first release, &quot;Kushial's Dart&quot; is an epic on the scale of Dune with the impact and depth of Tolkien. Normally I can go thru a novel somewhere between 3 and 5 hours. A dozen hours of reading after I started this book, I still had more to read. The flow and depth of the book kept causing me to want to flip back a page or three to reread a passage or to admire a well crafted scene. It's easier to show an... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This trio of very talented writers has a two book epic that is quite entertaining while suspenseful and realistic at the same time.<br><br>First is &quot;The Legacy of Heorot&quot;.  Humankind has finally outgrown Earth and a ship called National Geographic has arrived at a planet they name Avalon where they proceed to start mankinds first colony.  The books starts slow, introducing the major characters while easing into the main plot.  While Avalon seems like a paradise, there is a creature... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <br>Considering the intent of this book - dissecting and explaining the Universe - Stephen Hawking does an excellent job of taking a complex subject and making it more understandable to the common audience. While some may still claim this to be "heavy," and rightfully so (again look at the subject itself), the author's presentation is lucid and vivid, sharing one man's wealth of knowledge and understanding in as plain English as possible. <br><br>Hawking is widely considered one of the... ]]></description>
