Jim is right about the link he provided being an invaluable resource for those interested in Sufi Studies. Another good place to go for information is:

The Society for Sufi Studies PO Box 43 Los Altos, CA 94022

Katlaughing, I recall you were intrigued by the Mulla Nasrudin stories that cropped up in the Forum a few weeks back? Be sure to check out Jim's link for three collections of Nasrudiniana edited by Idries Shah, as well as Shah's other works.

And, yes, Hoot and Fidget, this is an amazing group of multi-talented, multi-faceted folks...they're certainly the reason I've been hanging out here for the last several years.
