Nano Prep
Books which I am currently reading en masse:
(Feel free to add suggestions)
Heaven and Hell --Emmanuel Swedenborg
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell --William Blake
(And now I realize I should get The Great Divorce , by CS Lewis)
The Western Lands -- William Burroughs (I had to go buy this one, because the library copy smells like a moldy tent)
Naked Lunch --William Burroughs
Dhalgren --Samuel Delany
Diary of a Genius --Salvador Dalí
50 Secrets of Master Craftsmanship --Salvador Dalí
Selected Poems of Lorca and Jimenez
Poems of Saint John of the Cross
Alchemical texts from here.
Some book on the Mongols
I also got The Book of Thoth and a book of Thelemic rituals, and though I didn't get them specifically for Nano-inspiration, I'm sure they'll be helpful.
And I'm still reading Space Magic , David Levine's short story collection. I read one story every morning, since madness and mysticism isn't a good thing to pummel myself with right before a long stressful day at work.
