Neutral Milk Hotel's in the Aeroplane Over the SeaOf all the recordings to emerge from the Athens via Denver collective called Elephant 6, Neutral Milk Hotel's second album is the one that has worked its way under the most skins.

Of all the recordings to emerge from the Athens-via-Denver collective called Elephant 6, Neutral Milk Hotel's second album is the one that has worked its way under the most skins. Magnet magazine named it the best album of the 1990s, and Creative Loafing recently devoted a cover story to one fan's quest to understand why band leader Jeff Mangum dropped out of sight soon after Aeroplane's release. The record sells steadily to an audience that finds it through word of mouth. Weird, beautiful, absorbing, difficult, In The Aeroplane Over the Sea is a surrealist text loosely based on the life, suffering and reincarnation of Anne Frank, with guest appearances from a pair of Siamese twins menaced by the cold and carnivores, a two-headed boy bobbing in a jar, anthropomorphic vegetables and a variety of immature erotic horrors. Mangum sings his dreamlike narratives with a dreamer's intensity, his creaky, off key voice occasionally breaking as he struggles to complete each dense couplet. The music is like nothing else in the 90s indie underground: a psychedelic brass band, its members self-taught, forging polychromatic washes of mood and tribute. The songs stick to one narrow key, the images repeat and circle back, and to listen is to be absorbed into a singular, heart-rending vision.Binding Type: Paperback

THE book for aspiring mystics / truth seekers from any tradition
This has been the most transformative spiritual text I've ever read, and it's a short read -- just a handful of chapters. However, it's something you'll come back to over and over again as you digest individual passages with new understandings you gain on your journey.
This is also my favorite translation by far.
Imam Gazzali is truly an enlightened individual and a saint for creating such amazing and instructive works. Don't be deterred if you don't come from the Islamic tradition. He answers burning questions that truth seeker might have about truth and purpose.

One of the best books on Islam
This book is mandatory reading for everyone at the age of 16. Just when we think that the world revolves around us and will probably continue to think so for the next 15 years; this book jolts you out of very gently where you realize that life is bigger than parties, the next boyfriend/girlfriend, clothes and other issues that seem very important.
Al-Ghazali's The Alchemy of Happiness, is a translation of the first 8 chapters of Kimya-e-Saadat, a book in persian language. It is not long, easy to read and the first four chapters are enough to set anyone's course in life. While most references to his points are from Hadith (Prophet Muhammad's sayings and teachings) and Quran; it is not specific to any religion which makes this book truly universal. Whether the reader is a Christian, a Jew, an Atheist or a Buddhist; they will find this book a very good read. Simply because it does not set out to convert anyone here; just states how a life should be lead. At the end, if an atheist does not set out to seek a religion to subscribe to then they have truly lost an opportunity.

Beautifully written book! This book is the way leading to utmost and absolute Happiness!
Imam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali (God be pleased with him) has composed a magnificient book which is, in my point of view, one of the outmost and greatest spiritual book that ever existed in the chronicles of time!
The real way for the mankind to attain ultimate happiness is to read, understand and apply what this book is revealing! Verily, as Imam Al-Guazali declares, the ultimate happiness is to know God Almighty in order to truly love him and He who truly loves God, God loves Him too!

A must read for all believers!
Practical advice on developing the higher self to command the lower self to achieve internal happiness that is not dependent on worldly outcomes. If you are an atheist then you might only benefit from the first couple chapters, some of the later chapters are more theoretical supported by logic based on holy scriptures like the Quran, Hadith, or Psalms. This is a must-read for all believers, especially Muslims! Many blessings to Al-Ghazzali, this book is one of my all-time favorites!
