Subject: Osho - Books I Have Loved

I never knew much about Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh), but his name came up recently on another forum and someone found and posted the following list of books that he particularly liked. I don't know the context it was originally presented in or why, but I thought it was an interesting list and might provide some ideas for those who haven't already got their summer reading all planned out:


Osho once published a list of books he had specially enjoyed reading
I have been able (after much work to find) that list.

Here it is ( I don't know if there they are presented in any special order.

is tremendously important. It is his testament; his whole experience with Zen
Masters, Zen classics...and he is a man of tremendous intelligence. He was also
a drunkard. Intelligence plus wine have really created a juicy book. I have
loved The Book and I have saved it for last.
Do you remember Jesus' saying, "Blessed are those who stand at the last"?
Yes, this book is blessed. I bless it, and I would like this series of sessions
