100 Books to Read If You're Going to Become a Buddhist Monk, (Or Live in Isolation) - Page 3

Last night, we posted a LIST of BOOKS for those heading to prison (as a lark, of course), and tonight, we're posting a similar list for those thinking of a solitary life, perhaps becoming a Buddhist monk. Well, that's one way to avoid your relatives, I guess. As always, enjoy and thanks for the support!!!!! PS: Alas, while putting together this list, we found out that novelist Martin Amis died at age 73; one of his many brilliant novels is on this list.
