I still have my copies of the Castaneda books...it was a time (at least in my life) of great searching and questioning. I wonder when that phase ends? Unlike you, I loved the last book the best....and still hold the vision of invisible connecting threads upon which spiritual (and physical?) transport happens. The more I learn...and the more sophisticated science becomes, the less strange that seems.
Writing....I give it up every few weeks. Only about two dozen of my faithful friends and family read my essays. Then I think "who cares? That's not really why I persist."
Yeah, I read them religiously. My favorite was Journey to Ixtlan, particularly the chapter with that title. Reads like a beautiful short story. If you haven’t, read the Wikipedia entry on him. It’s a very strange story, which isn’t surprising.

And keep writing. You don’t need a reason! M
