This is one of those books that you can pick up and read a few pages, and those couple pages inspire you to image communities building thoughtful structures. It has got me rethinking the structures of my community and exploring the possibilities. Highly recommended!

This goes through the basics of the 9 schools of indian thought, which are all complex and varied in how reality is perceived and is what we deem it to be. I read this when I was steeped in philosophy courses at uni, so much of the stuff was discussed in length and easier to access. Still one can read this without the school thing.

There is a poem in here which is wish I could find; this book is a grove of rhododendrons and laurels and one can easily get lost in it. Perhaps someone remembers this poem- there is an image of a person who thinks too much and has the creases between their eyebrows. Rumi says to them something like "let me smooth them out with my finger" or "smooth the creases in your brow". Is that too ambiguous?

It is quite clear from reading T.H. White that he didn't much care for women, or foreigners otherwise called savages. His examination of the human condition gets bogged down with Merlyn going off on long rants. I was left disappointed that White hadn't explored the implications of Merlyn existence. White certainly writes as a product of his time and sex and places these traits in Merlyn's character. Pity.
