Alan Watts
I was amazed to see the authors name posted on the board. I have been holding on to the book, "Does it Matter?: Essays on Man's Relation to Materiality," Considering to show some things to the class next time we would meet. I was given the old (1970), worn, and falling paperback from a professor a few years ago. I have lent the book to friends and family since I received it, because I felt that they should all read it. It is funny how often i find myself thinking back on the book and even referencing it in papers because it touches on so many issues. I had no idea that Watts had such an extensive amount of publications and media. Thanks for the suggestion, I am excited to look into his other works. Your right about him having a lot to say and he can sure put it in an agreeable manner. Stefan and Shawn, do you have any favorites or suggested material?

i am not sure being new to the age of technology how to create a new post but i need to know the best way to get a hold on this authors works other than pod cast. also to tie into the discussion about reading persepolis i found it very interesting and have plans to get into the movie soon. the book itself has caused me to just start reading again in general. oh and city of god.... excelent movie. does anyone have a web site or any other sources that could help me dive into more cultural forms of media such as literature and film? let me know even if it is as easy as googling a certain term.
