The Story of B

If you liked Ishmael, I recommend reading The Story of B. Its subject is very similar to Ishmael but I feel that it does a better job of portraying how the us vs them is woven into the very fabric of civilization. It's also a very entertaining read.

I think you would like The Story of B By Daniel Quinn and his other books. They are light and fun, that one especially. Additionally allthough maybe a little more involved Tom Robbins' books are in this vain as well.

- Ishmael and Story of B by Daniel Quinn His thoughts on religion and interpretation of religion as propaganda and how we've framed our taker society very much influenced my young mind. - 1491 and 1493 by Charles C. Mann The way we look at the new world and how vastly different standard teachings and what actually happened are. - A Guide to the Good Life by William Irvine Put to words what I already mostly practise, it identified my issues I had with buddhism. - A Dictators Handbook by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita An interesting flip on politics, it made me stop worrying so much about the here-and-now of it, and quelled my anger with the (further?) realisation that it is a game. If we want to fix what's happening we need to fix the rules, not the players.

I'm currently reading 1491 by Charles C. Mann, excellent book about the Americas before Columbus and how much of what we have been taught is either incorrect or misinformed. A follow up to this is 1943, what happened in the Americas after the arrival of Columbus. A great pair of books. I'll also say Ishmael by Daniel Quinn and The Story of B are two of my favourite books.
