What book are you reading now?

I looked him up. I can't find any info on his credentials (Having some sort of education in physics would be a start but, of course, it's not compulsory.) I don't know an awful lot about the topic of 'quantum mysticism' but I assume that people take very vague things that people said / believed centuries ago and claim that they must have had some innate understanding of quantum mechanics that we've lost touch with because we're bad people. Maybe that's not what this book is about (haven't read it) so apologies if this is irrelevant.

Does the book work as a piece of fiction?

It works as a reference to psychic experiences and paranormal occurrences, and as a reference on the literature written on these topics. I didn't find it particularly entertaining, or well-written even in that respect. It felt quite dry to me. But I'm not exactly attuned to such topics in the first place. Some people seem to like it, this guy has his fans.

I picked this one up at the bookstore. I hadn't done any background checks, but it was cheap and I thought I'd read something I usually don't. Online I would have never bought it. I don't know his credentials, but this book is categorized as 'non-fiction'.

Talbot was also gay, as I found out on wikipedia.
