I read this because it turned up in an episode of Lost...didn't give me much insight into the show or anything else. I wasn't impressed with it...

I went on a Castaneda bender when I was in my early teens. I was a Christian but trying to figure out my own path, and I think my older brother probably exposed me to Castaneda to broaden my horizons. I recall this being one of the better books of his.

Much of it, but not all, is about being a warrior. (This is a note for myself.)

It took me nearly two years to be brave enough to pick up the sequel to Carlo's "classic". I really needed that time or I don't think I could have gotten through. That being said this book is far better than the first and I don't think I'll need as much time to pick up the third.
First off this book has about 100 pages of filler crap. Carlos goes into new depths of stupid by repeating the same questions over and over and reexamining all his experiences no matter how many times he's told not to. It baffles me as to how this man was able to ever get published. I could have done without such mind numbing repetition but I at least was expecting it and this time around it seems his recollections under the influence are more clear than previously.
Whether Don Juan is real or not means nothing to me, he is a delightful character in my eyes. Carlos is more open about his affections for Don Juan ands in return Don Juan is warmer upon his little friends return. There are more characters he comes across, all of them enjoyable, everyone of them laughing easily. This with some visuals of the desert landscape and adobe houses make you feel welcome, like you are experiencing hospitality first hand.
It does seem as though the author is starting to let go of his highly annoying, childish ways as he explores more of Don Juans teachings. I sincerely hope that the next book will reflect a maturation.
