jonathan: some subjects has special trance you can't ignore.

ianek: here I wrote in simple words you can repeate reading many time
to understand.

gleki: the links which you suggested is covered by lojban just, but
there few books add something different whatever its title.

=3D The topics you suggested with your references concern = lojban only,=A0
but there are also a few books that concern also other t= opics of=A0
interest.=A0

=A0I suggest othe= r books for personal development.
"Metaphors We Live By" George Lako= ff=A0and Mark Johnson.

They don't cover lojban= at all.
Ithkuil is a complicated constructed language not as well thought out = as lojban but still worth reading.
Metaphors are very interesting= topic. Lojban actually mostly lacks metaphors. I wish we created more of t= hem. G. Lakoff's book is now a classic.
thanks
