A lot of people here will be aware of Carlos Castaneda and especially his major work "The Teachings od Don Juan" - and additionally the controversy surroudning the author and his works.
It seems that it is generally accepted that his books were fictional - but there is an argument that whether a book is fact or fiction is irrelevant so long as it contains important material for learning - and than the works of Carlos Castaneda may fall into this bracket...
I have to admit, I was quite young when I read Don Juan, and didn't find it particularly inspiring - did I miss something important, though?
