Reading Recommendations?

I could not resist such a request. Before I make that list, first let me say hello. Hello :) I live in Fuquay-Varina and I am a long way from home...which is Southern California. However, I am aware of the truth in this regard and that is my home is right here under my ass...Gaia. I have no illusions what-so-ever about reality and that really is at the core of all considerations going forward. Also, I love to read out loud. I love language...especially the written form. There is going to be a resurgence of the written form in oral tradition because there will come a day when all technology will vanish and rather than humanity cycle around again to darkness, we will carry on into the never-ending winter, into the light. The following is a partial list of my favorite writers of whom I have read most (if not all) of their works. The work after each is my all-time fave.

Hermann Hesse - Narcissus and Goldmund
Tom Robbins - Jitterbug perfume
David James Duncan - God Laughs and Plays
Hunter S. Thompson - hands down..."the letters"
Arthur C. Clarke - Childhood's End
Robert Heinlein - Job (A Comedy Of Justice)
Frank Herbert - Dune (hello!)
Phillip K. Dick - Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
Isaac Asimov - Foundation Trilogy
Eckhart Tolle - A New Earth
Jack London - Sea Wolf
Alan Watts - This is It
James Clavell - Tai Pan (I read this in one sitting)

This should suffice for now...on the literature side of things.
