Suggestion for a new category on your sidebar:
"Read books by people who would probably become my friends if I ever met them."
For example:
THE 99th MONKEY: A Spiritual Journalist's MIsadventures with Gurus, Messiahs, Sex, Psychedelics and Other Conscoiusness-Raising Adventures
by Eliezer Sobel.
Or at least glance at the prologue here:

Thanks! Eliezer
