Ali Baba's Books: Must-Haves Ali Baba's Books: Must-Haves

Books for teachers has expanded and moved to its own section

This is kind of like, "What books would you take with you to a deserted island?" Things I could read over and over and get new meaning out of, would start with my King James Bible. Besides my King James Bible, A Course in Miracles, and my Complete Works of William Shakespeare, annotated, I would have a set of Anthony Burgess Books--(anything but A Clockwork Orange):: The Doctor is Ill,; You've Had Your Time (autobiography II),; Little Wilson and Big God (autobiography I),; The Long Day Wanes, A Malayan Trilogy; Earthly Powers; Homage to QWERTYUIOP
C.G. Jung's: Memories, Dreams, and Reflections; Psychology and Alchemy...., Bollingen Foundation

A Course in Miracles: a life-saving stress buster!
The Dream of the Red Chamber,: Florence(?) and Elizabeth McHugh, transl.; ***Bilingual 6 volume version***; who who who? 5 of 6 volumes done
