This book changed my life at 19 after my mother died. I still have the copy which is now 30 years old! Strange pic on the cover of the author, but the information contained (channelled info gained in the 60s at 'seances' as they were called originally) is mind blowing, reality shattering and absolutely riveting. Now it is more in line with what people would 'get' compared to the 70s when I read it as quantum physics is now explaining much of what is in the book. As I read this book I felt as if my mind was taking in information that it could not 'get' at that age. I knew it rang true, as much as my friends at the time thought I'd lost the plot, talking about reincarnation, parallel worlds, dreamscapes, reality creation etc. This is now more understood having had The Secret plus many other books out there talking about how to create your reality with your beliefs.
i read this book during one week on vacation in the virgin islands. i got sunburned on the backs on my legs. i think it is the best example of david foster wallace's writing when it's neat that it's full of side comments and extras. i liked best the part about "things you learn"... from the perspective, as i remember, of the guy running the halfway house.
