Thread: What are you reading?

I just finished "The Taking" by Dean Koontz and it was awesome!

I guess now I can finish another book I started by him... I was half-way through it when I started The Taking lol

How about y'all?

"Freakonomics." It reads like a Malcom Gladwell book ("Blink," "The Tipping Point," "Outliers"). If you're into non-fiction I recommend it.

An enquiry concerning human understanding- David Hume

Only Revolutions-Mark Z. Danielewski


fuck year

I'm reading "Doing Nothing" It's a history on loungers, slackers etc. and what their role in society is.

Last read: The City and the Stars ~ Arthur C. Clarke

Currently reading: Bravo Two Zero ~ Andy McNab.

I'm really enjoying Bravo Two Zero. The mentality of the SAS is fascinating. They seem to really enjoy being at war. It's also got some awesome moments of gallows humour and sheer badassed-ness.

"Attachment, Evolution, and Psychology of Religion" by Lee A. Kirkpatrick.
"Rise of Modern Philosophy" by Anthony Kenny

Carôusoul - you better enjoy Hume. He is one of my heroes!

In The Buddha's Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon

And then intermittently,

Critique of Pure Reason, Kant
Buddhist Mahayana Texts, edited by E.B. Cowell

I haven't started a new fiction after re-reading Steven King's IT. I think I'm going to go for a Frank Herbert or a Carl Sagan. I have Contact in my bookshelf and I've read about a quarter of it already. I might just finish it up.

A Spy In The House of Love - Anais Nin
The Road and The Car in American Life - John B. Rae
Poets Against The War - edited by Sam Hamill
Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut [a re-read]

Just finished:
The Will To Doubt - Bertrand Russell [a very short read]
The Constant Companion: Inspirations for Daily Living from "The Thousand Names Of The Lord" - Eknath Easwaran, which I only managed to put down once. This book, and the Vedic poem it is based on is amazing.

I have the annoying habit of starting many books at once, and choosing to read whichever current one best suits my mood.

currently reading statistics for dummies.

The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time

I went to Borders to try to find another book by Michael (sp) and Kathleen Gear, but they only had some hardbacks and I couldn't afford those... Which is just as well. I can now finish "The Darkest Evening of the Year". It's a good book. I don't know why it's taking me so long to get through it and why it's failing to keep me interested.

While at Borders, I bought 2 "box" calendars and 3 wall calendars for $1.00 each. I'm going to use the wall calendars for posters. SO the trip was still a good one... but that's beside the point I guess

Learning Python - Mark Lutz

the color purple by alice walker

I'm reading "Crime and punishment". Last reads where Hamlet and Outsider.

thoughts

I'm nearing the end of Frank Herbert's last Dune book, Chapterhouse Dune. I'll miss the Atreides and the Bene Gesserit when it's over, but not enough to read his son's drek.

I also recently finished the comic book adaptation of Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show, which was a damned impressive translation of a long, complex novel full of bizarre and abstract entities and settings into twelve issues of graphical goodness.

Why men have no clue, and women need more shoes.

It's pretty accurate too, and funny as hell

-patience

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).
