"Hippie" Books that Caught the Modern Bohemian's Eye

I like to do searches every once in awhile for sites, products, and other such things that relate to hippies, bohemians, and free-spirits.  This time around, I searched for hippie books and found a whole bunch that I would love to read (if only I could afford them.  Sigh... maybe someday) and that maybe you might be interested in reading too.  Here they are (in no particular order).  If you want to know more about them and/or purchase them, simply click on the picture.




















I want them all! haha  Enjoy everyone.
Peace and Love,
Meagan

A Little Break

Well, you may have noticed that I haven't been around much. This is because I went on a little trip. My boyfriend Will and I went to the U.P. for a week. The U.P. (for anyone NOT from Michigan out there) is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was amazing! Beautiful, relaxing, fun... we had a great time. We went to lighthouses, the Soo Locks, an amazing fish fry at a local restaurant, and spent lots of time walking the beach, reading, playing cards with his parents (who were in the U.P. as well), and even got a chance to visit one of my uncles. It was amazing.
I will have to share more about my life with you all later, but before I go for now, I must mention this: Read "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. I read it in the U.P. and I am telling you, it has to be one of the most amazing books ever written, and it really gets the mind working...
More later...
