h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Interesting...

The big question is... what does it mean to say "Casteneda is a hoax"? Did he not exist? Then who wrote the books?? Similarly, it sounds more like a work of (new age) philosophy than a work of fiction...? So many questions... the entry itself is good - but to one such as I, who has never read the books, and only heard vague rumours of them, it poses more questions than it answers...

Perhaps a better structure would help - you could split it under a heading for "The Story" and "The Reality", or some such. Might make it easier to read.

Oh - one more thing: the guide tries to be balanced in matters spiritual and religious, and if some people still believe in the truth of "The warrior's way" and suchlike, then who are you to tell them they are deluding themselves? You'd be better off giving the facts, and letting people come to their own conclusions, I suspect...

Editorial Note: This conversation has been moved from 'Peer Review Sin Bin' to 'Carlos Castaneda'.
