Re: [pct-l] Reading for the Trail

["Karen Elder" <bluesky@rt66.com>]

:Trail reading------ How about a small NIV BIBLE, The NIV is written in
todays
:engish and is easy to read, no thou,s and these. In 75 years, or less, most
of
:us will be hiking in the clouds or bumpass hell ( not a lassen park
either!)

How about:

the _Koran_

the _Dhammapada_ (especially recommended, can be found in a small,
lightweight (physically :-) ) version)

Bertrand Russell (suggested work: _Why I Am Not a Christian_, but _Principia
Mathematica_ would be good, too)

I also find Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin to be quite
inspiring

:Even if you are an unbeliever, you might learn a thing or two.

Especially...
