Id like to look thru your books mustang
Ive got a number of books related to Linguistics, written by Bandler and Grinder.
"Frogs into Princes". TRANCE formations". "Structure of Magic". "Re Framing". These are Hypnosis/ Reframing related. Ive also got "Patterns of the Hypnotic techniques of Milton Erickson". By Bandler and Grinder.And Ericksons own "Creative Choice in Hypnosis".
Wouldnt surprise me if you had a couple of those books yourself
Actually, the subject might better be described as Languages. I collect dictionaries and textbooks on various foreign languages. That includes Bibles!!!

And welcome to the board, I didn't get a chance to do say so prior to this, sorry!
Nice to see another midwesterner here...I'm in Minnesota myself.
Are there any books that you wouldn't recommend because they are poorly written?
I tend to collect extensively on a subject then cull down to the books i think definitive. Eg, out of all the books ive read on The Soviet revolution Ive culled down to about 8 books which represent all sides.
"Harvest of Sorrow" and "The Great terror" By Conquest. And "The Theory and Practise of Communism" by Hunt. Both recognized scholars on the subject.
"On the opposition" ,"Foundations of Leninism" and "Marxism and problems of Linguistics" All by Stalin. "Contradiction" by Mao, and "The Lenin Anthology" A collection of all Lenins major essays. These of course are Communist "doctrinal" books.
And two books by Trotsky, the chief "apostate" of Communism, decrying Stalinism. "The revolution betrayed" and "The Stalin school of Falsification" about Stalinist history fabrication.
Thus Ive got ( hopefully) a relatively balanced perspective on the subject.
You name it, I have it!
The same applies to my Mormon collection.
On the Doctrinal side I have their "Bible" The "Book of Mormon". "Pearl of Great Price" And "Doctrine and Covenants" The key books of utterances by the prophet , Smith. Plus,"A marvellous work and a wonder" and "Articles of faith", two very important books which thoroughly explain all the key Mormon doctrines and their "scriptural" backing. Also "Teaching of Presidents of the Church- Brigham Young". These are all key doctrine books.
On the "Apostate" side Ive got " No man knows my history" by Brodie, THE premier "apostate" book about the TRUE life story of Joe Smith. " Refiners fire" by Brooke, an amazing book about the real foundations of Mormonism. And, perhaps most importantly, Tanners " Changing World of Mormonism", an apostate book about Mormon history fabrication.
RR. Im not trying to brag or anything. I love my book collection and get very excited if I get a chance to talk about it.
Refiners----That was a great synopsis of false prophecy that you put out for us. Thank you. It's a keeper!
Thanks refiners for your hard work. I don't have my volumes yet, but this arcticle seems particularily interesting.
Must read. The council at Jerusalem was not a governing body
