"Ummm ok. I must've lent this one to my ex-boyfriend because I just found his list of contacts in it from when I first suggested he go to an AA meeting. Appropriate bookmark? You bet.
Anyway, I must have gotten this when I was nineteen and knew everything because now I'm too afraid to even crack it open. Those noble truths'll get ya."
"If you're looking for an erudite, comprehensive overview of mainstream Buddhist thought, "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching" is an adequate choice, but prepare for a long, hard slog. Thich Nhat Hanh is at his best when he's telling stories from his own life- his time in Vietnam during the war, or stories about the Buddhist community he started in France. Unfortunately, most of the book isn't told from his personal point of view- it's an academic rundown of major Buddhist ideas (and endlessly listy- sure, you've heard of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, but maybe the reason you're not familiar with The Seven Factors of Awakening and Twelve Links of Inderdependent Co-Arising is because all of the other people who heard about them died of boredom before they could pass on those truths.)
If you're looking for more approachable Dharma teachings, try Pema Chodron."
