Prince's favourite writers?

We know his favourite musicians by now, but what about his favourite authors & poets?

The ones that I know he loves:

* The Holy Bible

* Betty J. Eadie ( her Embraced by the Light inspired him to write The Gold Experience)

* Gary Zukav (spiritual teacher)

* Erica Jong - Fear of Flying.

I really like Gary Zukav too...Especially, "Dance of the Wu Li Master" And "Seat of the soul"

Embraced by the Light is also good. I bet Prince likes Khalil Gibran too. cool
Hey, what about Joseph Campbell...The Impersonal Self cool

Those are exquisite writerz.

Billions and Billions: Thoughts of Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium by Carl Segan

Here's a brief excert from a review

Sagan notes that ominous changes to the planet have recently occurred overnight--not literally, but in a geologic wink of the eye. In our million years of existence as a species and our first several thousand years of civilization, human activities impacted the environment only locally. Twentieth-century technology changed that. Even technologies developed with benign intent, such as freon-based refrigeration, automotive engines, and electric power plants, now threaten global catastrophe.

The Bible first, tho'!lol

Oh and this one!!



Big Bang: The most important scientific discovery of all time and why you need to know about it is a book written by Simon Singh and published in 2004 by Fourth Estate.

Big Bang chronicles the history and development of the Big Bang model of the universe, from the ancient Greek scientists who first measured the distance to the sun to the 20th century detection of the cosmic radiation still echoing the dawn of time.

The book discusses how different theories of the universe evolved.
