bethlakshmiAfter chatting on her blog, I decided to go book shopping. It is a bad thing... access to amazon.com and a credit card. $40 later...
The Tale of Genji [Paperback] by Shikibu, Murasaki; Seidensticker, Edward G. [Paperback]
By: Murasaki Shikibu, Edward G. Seidensticker
Translation of an 11th century Japanese novel
The Gnostic Gospels (Vintage) [Paperback]
By: Elaine Pagels (Author)
The text that started this... after reading her selections, I decided to give gnoticism another poke, since I hadn't thought about it in 10 years... and this text seemed immensely readable.
The Tale of Murasaki : A Novel [Paperback]
By: Liza Dalby
She wrote "Geisha" a book I particularly enjoyed, based on her anthropological research on Geisha in Japan. This is actually a novel about the author of Tale of Genji, above. Yep, those book pimps hooked with the "people who bought... also bought..." shtick. Damn them. :)
Tribal Fusion - Yoga Isolations & Drills for Bellydance [DVD]
By: Rachel Brice
OoooOOOoo... She came and taught here this summer, but life commitments were such I did not go. But this was exactly the topic of her workshop... maybe I can pick up some of what I missed. Needless to say this is right up my alley!
It is a very wierd wishlist I must say, that includes books on:
- networks and digital security
- Japanese Geisha stuff
- Indian philosophy
- Asian new age music
- Western yoga stuff
- vegan cookbooks (even though I'm so totally an omnivore)
and now... a whole bunch of gnosticism and various Christian writings...
An interesting study on what I've bought on Amazon in recent years. My textile book purchases have fallen off the map - as I buy those through abebooks. And (thank god) the goofy Dover clip art books finally fell by the wayside.
The really odd thing is to see a book on Cryptography listed right on top of a book on spirituality by a medieval female author, right above the Masala Art Bhangra DVD part I. Gives me a giggle.
Better yet, the last package from the post office was a pink PVC microskirt and pink ruffly satin bra. Whee.
