2012 Reading List

~ Kath Thompson

Today I gathered together the books I intend to read this year and amassed them next to my winterized Space Chair for this photo-op.

It’s a good list, I think, but a long one.

The 2012 stack

I have had these books in my possession for a long time but have not “gotten around” to them.

One, the Tantra one, I read awhile ago but feel the  need to re-read now that I have been through so many trainings.

I have also started the Daniel Ingram book multiple times. I have gotten through one chapter doing the exercises in the Contemplative Photography book, as well.

So here’s my rather daunting  list from top to bottom:

Yoga Spandakarika

The Spiritual Teachings of Ramana Maharshi

The Great Good Place

Bringing Home the Dharma

What We Say Matters

A Path With Heart

Tantra: Path of Ecstasy

Transformational Speaking

Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha

Yoga Body

The Beauty of Different

The Practice of Contemplative Photography

The Practical Encyclopedia of Feng Shui

If you made a reading list for this year, care to share?

I love yoga. Teaching and doing. I like to write, but I want to edit much more. Tragically, in order to have something to edit, you have to write something first. I try to scribble 1K words a day in Scrivener. I like wine. My favorite thing in life is having great conversations. I love to share ideas. Good conversation is becoming a lost art, though. If I don't do some yoga, meditate, and read and write every day, things really fall apart. I wish I would post on this blog more regularly. I'm going to work on that.

    1. Nice list. I read The Poisonwood Bible a long time ago. Love Atwood! I bought The Art of Racing the Rain, but G read it first and cried a lot at the end, so I passed on it (dog books, ugh!) Everything else is new to me. I will have to check them out.
      Powells! Love!

    1. Great List!! Am particularly intrigued by Wonderland: The Zen of Alice. Let me know how it is when you finish. Have you ever read “The Zen of Oz”? by Joey Green. That is a really good one, too. Check it out!

      Thanks for sharing!
