I guess I'll be one of the first to lead by example...

Because of a possible upcoming move, I cannot do snail mail exchanges at this time, because I don't know exactly how much longer I'll be living at my current address.

But this doesn't stop me! I've got a plethora of ebooks (including quite a few of our Triska references) that I'm willing to send till the cows come home. Look to this post later for an active list of ebooks that I have that I am more than happy to forward to you.

I'd be more than happy to send/receive books. You can look me up on AIM or pm/e-mail me for the mailing information.

As of this moment, I don't think I own any books that would be related to the Triskabrary - and unless Islington starts referencing Kurt Vonnegut or Stephen King, I don't think I ever will. However, I am making plans (once I have some spare money) to get my hands on Xorandor and maybe a few others.

However, if I receive a book from someone else I'll be happy to pass it on once I'm finished reading it.

So I'm up for anything, really.

Yay!

I really want to encourage folks to participate in this. I can vouch for the fact that the giving of a book really is as fun as the recieving!

As far as whether or not the book is Triskaworthy.....I think that has pretty much been left up to us. We can all see what 'type' of books Islington has steered us towards thus far.....'illuminating' would probably be a good description of them.

I chose Siddhartha because I LOVE the story, because I consider it to be an illuminating book, and because (at that time) I was beginning to see a tilt towards Eastern thought and self-awareness.

I do hope that people post what books they recieve. It will spread the sharing of the book even further if the rest of us can then go out and get it ourselves. (on that note....don't post a book when you send it---I think it is nice for it to be a surprise to the recipient).

I am excited to see what knowledge my fellow Triskamaniacs decide to share! Smile

Curiouser and curiouser....

ps--please send safe travel vibes my way....I have an out of state funeral to attend this weekend. Sad

Kylegumby: don't discount your Kurt Vonnegut collection. The Slaughter-house Five deals with some really interesting ideas of time that Islington would probably find most interesting.

Sure, I'm game. I have few books to send but I'll see what I can dig up. I guess I can also "borrow" some art history books from my wife. I do feel I've not read enough in my life, so anything would be great for me.

Yay!!

I received a book in the post today! There is a sweet note from Orkid on the first page (and, for those of you who are wondering....the package came from Austin, TX). Smile

It is 'The Active Side of Infinity' by Carlos Castaneda. I am sooooo excited about reading it.....I have read several other Castaneda books (the first 4 Don Juan books), but I've not read this one!!! Again, YAY!! Wink

So, thank you, thank you, thank you Orkid!

I am telling ya'll, I have now been on both the giving and the receiving side of this.....very much worth doing! Dust off your favorite illuminating books(or hit Half.com) and start sharing!

Carry on(while I carry myself off to a comfy chair to start reading!)....

If anyone is interested in Anthroposophy, Friedrich Nietzsche, Michael (Michio) Kaku, Rudolph Steiner, Illuminati or Stephen Hawking... let me know. TIME is a wonderful thing; watches will ruin your life.

Hello My Little Triskaphytes!

Just popping a note to let you guys know that when I checked the mail today I had a little white ready post mailing envelope from our dear Orkid waiting for me when I got there. I saw the little tulip/flower on the return address and my heart leaped!

I held my composure long enough to open the envelope with the chat channel so they could experience it with me. You know I'm ALL about the experience! Very Happy

Inside the book, she left me a very nice little note (I'll leave the details out because they're not really pertinent to triska, just a nice little greeting, nothing more. If something comes of it, I can refer to it in a flash. )

The book is The Tides of Time by John Brunner
^{(I have not read this book yet, but I will today, it looks really interesting and I can't wait to get my hands on it...so don't spoil it for me if you have. )}

The book deals with time travel, almost like that of reincarnation.

Page 33/34 was the only page in the book that was dog-eared, and the most striking quote on the page was "The world belongs to all of us." Very Happy

What a wonderful world.... Very Happy
