At the risk of distracting one's own interpretation of Bosch's work with my own analysis, I will instead implore you to pick up this book and marvel at the beautiful, small, surreal stories going on in each painting.
Memory and time cyclically entwined with mood. It will leave the lasting impression of familiarity.
Most of us have some sort of a grasp on the excitement and horrific history of the early America's during the European Conquest. Woodward looks at these events from the past and shows why areas in the America's have specific attitudes and outlooks that have carried over into modern times.
This book will leave you questioning everything the government has told you about the lasting effects of nuclear testing during the Cold War on the people and the environment.
You don't have to belong to any religion to enjoy the imagery and spiritual nature of this book. Beautiful, lyrical and poetic.
The most unmcompromising, honest and spiritual autobiography you'll ever read.
I am a sucker for any books published by TCM. This one is their classic dinner and a movie book. Pick one of your favorite classic Hollywood films and see what drinks/entrees pair well with them. Perfect for a romantic night in with a loved one!
This is the best encyclopedia of symbols and the meaning(s) behind them that you will ever find. This thing is phenomenal for inspiration of all sorts! I highly recommend this.

When an American physicist has a discussion with an Indian philosopher, it's a guarantee that the conversation will be nothing short of thought-provoking. I urge you to read this, if only to get a different perspective on the world.
Yes, it's a book by the film director David Lynch. Sparse & minimal, Lynch explores the creative process by honing in on the idea of sparking the fire from within. Surrealism & Transcendental Meditation collide!
A mystery wrapped in an enigma, smothered in serendipitous secret sauce... Dreams & nightmares dance with reality in this strange and suspenseful tale.

A story of doubles & doppelgangers. Pay very close attention to each paragraph, sentence and word with this story because as soon as you think you've figured everything out, Nabokov turns everything upside down. The key is to look beneath the surface. A perfect example of the secrets within the wordplay is held within the title itself.—Josef
John Cassavetes was a pioneer in American film-making. The way we view contemporary cinema has much to do with his approach to the medium. Risking his career, business connections and even his own home, Cassavetes persevered in order to tell the stories of human relationships in a way that was lacking significantly during Golden Age of Hollywood.—Josef
