Ok there's more, but I've got to go. Keep on adding what you have.

ok. adding to your list, in no particular order

"The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" - Philip K.Dick
"Uncut" - Klaus Kinski's autobiography
"Doctor Fausuts" - Thomas Mann ( mentioned in one of the early interviews)

... and so on. the man has probably read a mountain of books.

because of him and The Matrix, I'm planning to read Derrida. don't know when that will happen, though. and don't know if I'll understand anything of it. but then... one doesn't know until one tries, right ? ;) :D

I just did a search and there's no record of Keanu having mentioned 'The Holographic Universe' in any of the articles. Yet I kind of definitely remember him doing so, and if not, how did I get the title?

Do you remember him mentioning it?

What's doubly creepy is that the book itself - which I just started reading today and am loving very much - mentions this thing about the collective human unconscious where people somehow have pieces of knowledge that they would have had no way of obtaining, such as this mental patient coming up with something really weird that was almost exactly identical to this ancient Persian ritual that no one but scholars with nothing better to do knew about.

and basically when starting this thread I thought: 'books Keanu has read', and that was the first book that popped into my mind. :\

so um. Do you recall Keanu mentioning that book? Maybe in a video interview, though I'm fairly certain I saw it mentioned in text.

Or else this is going to bug me forever.

I do wonder if he took the time to read Door to Door by Tobi Tobin?

I bet he did.

On another note, here's (possibly) another book for the reading list: "Freedom" (I assume it's the one by Jonathan Franzen). Somebody tweeted that he asked for it in a bookstore the other day. I checked it out on Amazon and it looks like an interesting read: http://kea.nu/3h0

Oh, and kea.nu has raised over US$500 in Keanu's name for Stand Up To Cancer. I love that SU2C has sent an acknowledgement to Keanu, so that he can see that the SadKeanu meme spurred some positive results. :-)

This is a very enlightening article by the author of Thoughts Without a Thinker that I got interested in when I read that Keanu read the book. This year they've released a 10 year edition. Also the audio book is wonderful to listen to.
Please do not get the impression I am up on Keanu's reading list. I would have to dedicate the rest of my reading days to do that and it's not happening.
