What are they? tell me some books that have changed your life, fiction, non-fiction, anything.
You should definitely read the book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer (can't remember if that's how u spell his name). It's an amazing book and it changed my whole perspective on my views of marijuana
Nice man I'll add some: Tao of the Wu by RZA, Mushahi, Watch my back by Geoff Thompson, Got Fight by Forrest Griffin ( The funniest and most enjoyable book I've ever read). That's all I can think of at the moment.Quote:

Geoff Thompson- Shape shifter, Watch my back, and Fear-the friend of extraordinary people, all great books! His instructional on 'The Fence' is a must if your serious about self defence.
A Geoff Thompson fan nice :)Quote:

Very true got fight made me look like a crazy person on the train quite a few times, and no when the shit goes down didn't it was still funny but didn't have as many funny stories as got fight.Quote:

Robert Wilson - A Small Death in Lisbon, or anything else he has written (The Company of Strangers, the Javier Falcon series). Amazing writer.
Jean-Claude Izzo - the Marseilles Trilogy (First is "Total Chaos")
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
"The Alaphabet of Manliness". Didnt change me any, but I sure as hell laughed aloud a few times.
