I have read all of Lobsang Rampa's book except for the last two or so. His health failed as he grew older and it showed in the later books. But for sheer enjoyment and adventure nothing can compare to the early ones. For many of my age, his books were our first introduction to the world of the psychic and spirit. The Montreal publisher of his French translations thought highly of him and was considered a friend. Lobsang lived in Montreal for a short period but he never stayed too long in any one city.
He seems to be gaining new fans all over again according to these articles in Nexus magazine. You might enjoy reading them.
