The problem with Lojban metaphors (in the real meaning of the term) is that any time someone suggests ones, someone else points out (usually correctly) that it doesn't work for speakers of some other language, which has a different metaphor tradition.  Metaphors rely heavily on culture and Lojban doesn't have one to fall back on, alas.

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.

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

 I suggest other books for personal development.
"Metaphors We Live By" George Lakoff and 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 them. G. Lakoff's book is now a classic.
thanks
