David's Reviews > The Wheel of Time: The Shamans of Mexico Their Thoughts About Life Death & the Universe

I was first introduced to Castaneda’s work two years ago, when my dad found two books for me to read from his college days - The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge and A Separate Reality. Rarely does my father actually pick up a book, so I knew this one was going to be pretty good. The first of Castaneda’s twelve-book series, The Teachings of Don Juan, dragged me into his narrative quickly. I recommend it to everyone I know, and have both of my personal copies circulating through my friends quite often. My favorite Castaneda book is Journey to Ixtlan, his third in the series.

The Wheel of Time is a collection of quotations and commentary from the first eight books. I feel that it falls way short of effectively communicating the wisdom of the books, but it was an interesting read nonetheless.
