I often listen to Alan Watts' lectures. I know that's not exactly reading a book, but his lectures are very similar to his books, which I've read. They are the only way I can sleep a lot of the time. He really had a brilliant way with words.
Ah yeah, I spent a lot of time listening to his stuff years back. He does have a way of describing things and getting ideas across that I think really hit home for a lot of different people, I like that about him. He's always good for expanding your thinking for a bit. Have you read the book Be Here Now by Ram Dass? I think a lot of the tone of Watts' stuff and that book come from a similar place.
I haven't read that, but I heard lots of good things about Ram Dass. I'll have to check it out.
