Books podcasts were talking about in September 2011
During September 2011, several distinct titles and texts came under discussion across multiple episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience, with guests exploring subjects ranging from literature and historical figures to consciousness, science, and the paranormal. Anthony Bourdain appeared on the podcast to recommend Hunter S. Thompson's collection of letters, The Proud Highway, edited by Douglas Brinkley and William J. Kennedy, praising the humor found in the correspondence. Later in the month, Joe Rogan brought up Don DeLillo's novel Libra while talking about Lee Harvey Oswald, noting how the work successfully explored Oswald's perspective. Graham Hancock joined the show to discuss his own creative and exploratory output, mentioning the origins of his novel Entangled following Ayahuasca sessions in Brazil, as well as touching upon his co-authored book The Mars Mystery concerning planetary cataclysms. Duncan Trussell also contributed to the literary discussions by referencing the Srimad Bhagavatam as a primary text of the Hare Krishna tradition. Additionally, Daniel Pinchbeck appeared on the program to examine various perspectives on anomalous phenomena and biology, mentioning Richard Wiseman's Paranormality, Ian Stevenson's extensive study on reincarnation and biology, and Bruce Lipton's work exploring consciousness and awareness at the cellular level.
