Why men have no clue, and women need more shoes.
It's pretty accurate too, and funny as hell :)

I'm also reading a ton of books (as always). A few that I either have with me or I can name off of the top of my head are:
-ETWOLD- Stephen LaBerge :)
-Re-reading the Lord of the Rings by Tolkein
-Re-reading Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series
-"The September Society" (the author escapes me at the moment, Charles... Something
-Starting the "Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" (again ? on the author)
-Starting "iPod and Philosophy: iCon of an ePoch"
-Starting Bram Stoker's "Dracula"
I also have a whole myriad of other books that I need to read (my stack just keeps growing larger and larger).
i guess im reading the bible... well trying to. havent even got half way yet :P
Im reading Danse Macabre by Laurell K Hamilton and Fickel <a novel of suspense> by Peter Manus. Both greatbooks so far :D
Speaker for the Dead - Orson Scott Card.
And what I'm reading after (in no particular order):
Animal Farm - George Orwell
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
The Darkness That Comes Before - R. Scott Bakker.
Dune - Frank Herbert
So, yeah. I totally and spontaneously abandoned my reading of other books to focus exclusively on "At Home with the Marquis de Sade: A Life" by Francine du Plessex Gray...for some reason.
Oddly enough, even at 398 pages I didn't really want it to end.
And I've been since been noticing a crapload of correlations that are now beginning to make sense.
I'm reading:
"The I Hate to Housekeep Book" by Peg Bracken.
It was published in 1962 but it's very applicable and I LOVE the writers style. I'm going to have to check it out again. I have run into the problem of not knowing what certain things are because of language changes with the times (like what the heck is Sal Soda lol and what does this sentence mean: "Omelets: Your omelets will stand up long enough for you to sit down if you add a teaspoon of flour per egg."
And now that I'm living in the Country again, I checked out and have been reading "Animal Tracks" by Olaus J. Murie.
I'm also trying to read a religious book called "Keep Youselves In God's Love", published by Jehovah's Witnesses... as well as reading my Bible.
I just finished reading "The Giver" (finished it in 1 day) and it was AWESOME!!! It's now one of my favorite books of all times. I have to do a google search to find out who wrote it though, because my daughter's copy is missing it's cover.
I was reading "The Shadow Man", by one of my favorite authors Stephen Gresham, but it's full of witchcraft, so I'll probably not read it any more and donate it to the Library.
Well, I started on Brisingr from the Inheritance cycle when It came out a year or two ago but due to gaming, school and other stuff I ended up putting down the book. I want to pick it back up soon though cause that series is just epic. :D
Talk Talk, by T. C. Boyle at the moment. Very much a chick book. Haven't read anything this long in a while~
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
Very good book
I am almost done reading it, and i would reccomend it to anyone.
Hardly necessary to recommend a classic, but I'll second that ;)Quote:

If you have zero interest in math, geometry and astronomy, you probably won't make it through the first 200 pages, but if you like all of the above, you'll be hooked in the first 20 :D
Im reading the first book in "the chronicles of thomas covenant, the unbeliever" by stephen donaldson. It is quite a different experience from other fantasy I have delved in to, but I can see why it is considered a great fantasy work. I think I will finish at least this first trilogy and see if I want to read the others
Finished Brave New World
It got pretty intense at the end :\
Even though I hardly ever read (with the exception of heavy programming books:D), I've decided that I wanna give "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins a go, people I know that's interested in that kinda stuff says it's a quite interesting read.
Lord of the Rings. Just about to start on the Return of the King.
Best in the universe.
The last story in "4 Past Midnight" - Stephen King.
Also "Organic Chemistry for Dummies"
nothing, I hate reading. I only do when I have to for school or something.
Riddley Walker - Russell Hoban
Glorious postapocalypse. That's all I'll say.

Ah yes, I've been meaning to pick that book up aswell :) Should be an interesting read.
Hot water music by Bukowski. Also three Finnish books underway. Haven't had lot of time to read for a while :/
A Kings Captain by Dewey Lambdin. I just finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.
Right now i'm in and out of "This book does not exist: Adventures in the Paradoxical"...it's good fun for people like me who overanalyze everything.
Hot Water Music... :upsidedown:
...one of those love/hate sort of books. The best kind, in my humble opinion.
The Wheel of Time series. For the second time.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick. It's mind-bendy.
