A mixed bag: readers should definitely pick and choose essays that seem interesting, and jump around in the book, rather than attempt to read straight through from beginning to end. Had I been editing this collection, I would not necessarily have opened with a section on transformation through psychotropic-induced experiences. Articles on astronomy and mythic cosmologies elucidate theories of 2012 (fascinating stuff!), and an essay on Kubrick made more sense to me than anything I have ever read about the man's work.

Oh, I know it's corny, but this is really one of my favorite books ever. I just love it. Fantasy is nice; I like to fantasize.

** spoiler alert ** Just when you think you know how it's gonna play out - along comes a scene with a wheelchair, a table and a medicine bottle just out of reach.
