I find them both interesing, but for me the biggest difference is that Castaneda is fiction, albeit informed (and informative) fiction.

Andrew,

Far be it from me to criticize anyone's beliefs. I will leave that to Wikipedia. Link to Carlos Castaneda article.

Other than that, he did write some interesting books.

Best,
