• Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Debby Macek...and Debby has this to say about the book: "This book painstakingly explains with thorough research the reasoning behind why certain societies/tribes of people were able to conquer others. Great explanations of how societes became farmers, etc. Gives more detail and research to Quinn's statements about farmers vs. hunter-gatherers and why farmers have historically won."

• Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Alan Thornhill...and Alan has this to say about the book: "This is a must read for everyone who found Ishmael compelling. It gives the background for Ishmael and answers the question, "How did things get to be like this?""

"

• Hackers And Painters: Big Ideas From The Computer Age by Paul Graham has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Matthew Paulus...and Matthew has this to say about the book: "This is another book that I only recommend part of. Chapter 3: What You Can't Say...Thinking Heretical Thoughts And What To Do With Them. Graham shows us why it is essential for us to think what we're told not to. But also points out the dangers of going against moral fashion trends. Going against clothing fashions will merely get you laughed at. Going against moral fashions can get you threatened, beaten or killed. But he also gives us hope, by pointing out that many heretics are redeemed as geniuses when they are proved correct. Chapter 3 is an inspiring reading. Unless you are a programmer, a big chunk of this book will be boring. Paul Graham was one of the founders of ViaWeb, a revolutionary online business, so if you are interested in a new way of earning a living, you might also take away many ideas from the chapters describing how ViaWeb was founded, organized, and run until it was bought by Yahoo! and turned into YahooStores! That's the sad part, another great idea and unique approach to the problem of earning a living sold out to a big corporation. But the lessons are still there to be learned."

• Hannibal by Thomas Harris has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Jim Weiler...and Jim has this to say about the book: "I've been trying to figure out what made Hannibal the book (over 1 million copies in print) and the movie box-office hit that it is... and why I liked it as much as I did. While reading My Ishmael, I finally figured it out. It's not the horror of cannibalism that's made it such a hit, it's Hannibal Lector's stepping outside the keeping of food under lock and key, and dining on "free-ranging" human flesh, that fascinates people so much; the violation of a taboo absolutely central to our culture. The point is only heightened by Hannibal's highly intelligent, charismatic, and cultured demeanor in both the book and as portrayed in the movie by Anthony Hopkins (one of the finest actors I've ever watched). Try to imagine either the book or the movie even being published in the 1950s, say? Let alone being a major book and movie hit?"

• Healing the Soul of America by Marianne Williamson has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Chris McCarthy...and Chris has this to say about the book: "What fascinated me about this book was the suggestion to make amends to other cultures as a beginning of the healing process. As a member of a twelve step program, I can see where the author has borrowed concepts from this institution."

• Hello, My Name Is Chellis And I Am In Recovery From Western Civilization by Chellis Glendinning has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Teri Kelly...and Teri has this to say about the book: "Chellis helps us to understand how our disconnectedness to the natural world is affecting our mental state as a culture. She shows us that to become balanced as a culture, we have to being to connect with nature. It is an important book that focuses on the need to heal ourselves in order to heal the world. Classic ecopsychology."

• Hiroshima by John Hershey has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Wythe Marschall...and Wythe has this to say about the book: "War, an outgrowth of Taker dominance and unknown to Leavers, is hell. Hiroshima gives us an unabashed, close up look at the evils of Taker society. Maybe people who've Hiroshima will be more inclined to check out Quinn's books and ideas. For our sakes, I hope so."

• Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Borjan Komarica...and Borjan has this to say about the book: "Well, let's just say it does not contradict one tiny bit to anything DQ said. Of course it's all SF satire, but the view on our Taker culture, as well as his view of everything else he described in the book is quite unique. Everything could be so easily translated into "less serious" methafors for Daniel's Vision. Until I've read Daniel's books, this was my favourite book of all time and I almost know it by heart, so e-mail me if you want examples and similarities between DA's and DQ's visions (if you can't figure it out by yourself)..."

Great writing style with plenty of humor that looks very hard at exactly what humans are built for. If we know what we have evolved to do well, then perhaps we'll do more of it! Truly an amazing book!!! Oh, and the author is very humble about what we really know about the how the brain works, which is nice. He doesn't pretend that we know more than we really do."

• How To Read A book by Mortimer J Adler has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Benjamin Moss...and Benjamin has this to say about the book: "Sorry to say my friends, but this does not directly relate to any of the ideas of our esteemed teacher, Daniel Quinn. What it does do, however, is provide an excellent method of reading that can help us all get more out of every book we read. After having read "How to Read A Book", I wanted to go back and read all the books I read prior to see what I missed. It really is a big help, almost like learning a whole new aspect of language. I hope this helps."

• Human Scale by Kirkpatrick Sale has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Ramey Wood...and Ramey has this to say about the book: "With anecdotes, facts, stories and statistics, this 1980 book surveys our society highlighting how we, humans, have lost our scale. From the construction of our living spaces to our educational systems, from the function of our eyes to transportation, health, government and community, Sale offers us an accessible read for many points to consider. Does it relate directly with Quinn's books? Not exactly...but what does? If taken literally, as gospel, without any consideration, thought, personal application or exploration, any book falls short. This text is worth the read. Again, and again, and again..."

• Initiation by Elizabeth B. Jenkins has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Hummer Pleshe...and Hummer has this to say about the book: "Dan's works center on "there is no one right way" The Incas and their predecessors and descendants, by focusing on energy have lived a facinaringly different cosmology for millenia. Jenkins focuses on a specific Andean process (that of an initation into the Andean priesthood) but to explain the process she and her mentor, Juan Nunez del Prado, give fascinating illustrations from the culture of the Inca. Energy is not "good" or "bad" but finer or denser. Their society was based around the small group in tens and multiples of ten, called "ayllu". They interacted on the basis of "ayni" or reciprocity and taught and cared for each other. And still do. Different; not good/bad, not dominating; not "Taking" for the sake of greed. Recirocity. (I have more at http://humrhums.livejournal.com)"

• Inner Work by Robert A. Johnson has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Josie Kraft...and Josie has this to say about the book: "Explains "conscious living" - how to access our unconscious and how doing so relates to our overall being. Explains how the glaring negligence in this area in today's Taker society has caused so many of our problems, and how inner work can change one's life forever. Explains why and how the "Leaver" societies were and are successful and so much more complete. I believe it is essential to become "conscious" and be at peace with one's Self before significant changes can be made in others around us."
  Check out and/or Order Inner Work from Amazon.com! You can also order from a local bookstore by using BookSense.

• Intimate Nature The Bond Between Women and Animals by Linda Hogan has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Miranda Laufenberg...and Miranda has this to say about the book: "This book includes essays from many women from many different cultures. An exerpt of the intro states: "In recent years, according to Earth-Time, humans have lost their more intimate relationships with animals as peers, teachers, and kindred allies. For centuries now, male priests, doctors and scientists have declared animals a territory to be approached with objectivity and detachment. And in these last centuries we have become increasingly deperated from animals and the natural world. We've been taught to see them as creatures who have no soul, no capacity for pain, emotion, intelligence, or worth. In Claude Bernard's 'Physiology' he states that 'Aman of science no longer hears the cry of animals, the blood that flows....he sees only his ideas.'" The book continues in the form of essays written by women on how they connect with the animal world and how the white-man (as a population-not individual) has, in my words, royally screwed things up. For me, it articulates the same message Ishmael does, but it does so in what we call a non-fiction way."

• Ishtar Rising : Or, Why the Goddess Went to Hell and What to Expect Now That She's Returning by Robert Anton Wilson has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Evan Sarver...and Evan has this to say about the book: "All of Robert Anton Wilson's works might be of interest to a reader of Daniel Quinn's books, but this one in particular might strike a chord. As with all Wilson's writings, he takes you on a deep and often humorous journey through the human mind, leaving you with a new paradigm by the end of the book. Beware to those who have very STRONG opinions, as Wilson will certainly challenge them in ways that might enrage. Wilson is one of those authors that you either love or hate, and most of his books are this way too. Ishtar Rising provides valuable insights into the divine female and the earthly female."

Different visions are offered of humanity's future journey, but all agree on one point: that a continuance of the present way will literally mean the end of the world as we know it."

• Jesus or Jehovah by Patricia Cabaniss has been suggested by Ishmael Network member Patricia Cabaniss...and Patricia has this to say about the book: "The Bible has been traditionally hard to read in that Jesus appears to have said and done two diferent things or said them about the same subject. Whereas in fact two entities or gods have been purposely woven into one in order to create confusion.Common sense is applied to the Ishmael theme story and it is the return to common sense which will take our world forward out of the mess that we have created.This book shows that when things do not make sense there is a reason.It is when we take the blinders off that we understand that if they do not make sense it will not work. So has religion never worked to help the world.It has created separation and that must end."
