RECOMMENDED READING LIST
and BOOK REVIEWS

Here's a list of some other books
that I have read which seemed insightful or just "
good reads"

....but you be the judge :)

*I put some comments next to some of them, but that's not to say that the others aren't as good.  I just didn't want to write "good" , next to each one so I just placed the comments on ones I highly recommend

Some are GREAT and should be considered "must-reads" if you are interested in seriously getting the basics of lucid dreaming.  

Many of them are linked to corresponding pages on Amazon.com where you can read more in-depth reviews of them, and HOPEFULLY, this will make it that much easier for you to BUY and READ them.  The more you read; the quicker you will progress; so start reading, today.  With the links that are hooked up to them, you don't have any excuses anymore, just click on them, and then buy them, and they'll be at your door in no time.  It doesn't get any easier than that!!! I have not had a chance to update this page in quite some time, but plan on adding some new good reads when I have some time to upgrade this site.
