Am reading "The Reality of Being. the Fourth Way of Gurdjieff" by Leanne De Salzmann. She was a close pupil of the man, & the book is a compilation put together by her students.
So far its fantastic. Lots of abstract thought & sorta surreal. I love the way it describes situations that we face every day, things we think & the way we react. Right now Im marking all the parts that correspond to me specifically. The things one should notice about themselves & their environment.
The stuff that is interesting is noting that you can fail at trying to force liberation from reality. It is not so much a thing of force but a thing to be observed. To force change can back fire compared to taking the time to truly observe it. That emptiness they speak of.
Anyway, so far so good.
Awake!

Great news, brother!
Thanks for letting us know what Fourth Way book you're reading and how you find it. After finishing The Reality of Being, please post a longer and more indepth review for us. Feel free to include a few choice quotes.
I've never read it, but perhaps I should put that on my list...
