Carlos Castaneda

Starting with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, Castaneda wrote a series of books that describe his training in shamanism, particularly with a group whose lineage descended from the Toltecs.
The books, narrated in the first person, relate his experiences under the tutelage of a man that Castaneda claimed was a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named don Juan Matus. His 12 books have sold more than 28 million copies in 17 languages.
Critics have suggested that they are works of fiction; supporters claim the books are either true or at least valuable works of philosophy.

I loved these books in 1990. Tried to re-read in 2017 and found them impossible. So much mansplaining...

I question the quality of the story.
Apparently is a classic for mushroom consumption in the 70's. Dunno. My uncle had a copy, he gave it to my Mom and since she was open for me to read everything, I read it as a pre-teen.
At the time I grasped very little.
Recently I grabbed a copy of from the local library. Tried to read it but it required too much effort. Like sorcery but not really. The language is Span-glish (what the Americans call Spanish in the USA, a mix of Spanish with English).
If you don't know some basic Spanish you'll end up googling the words meaning in the USA.
My brother told me to read it with a true open mind. Will try again in the future.
