 Pupul's book would be the last one I would recommend to anyone wanting
to know about JK's views. It's much better to read his own books.
 I would recommend offhand the following:
 1. Commentaries on Living (1st, 2nd and 3rd series) (the BEST IMHO)
 2. Krishnamurti's Notebook
 3. Education and the significance of life (i might have the title mixed
  up here but it's on education)

  In my opinion there is always a LOT of distortion (misinterpretations
etc) in the books written by others about JK. I would look at them only
for `undistortable' biographical facts.
