Just picked up 'Naked Empire' by Terry Goodkind, latest in the Sword of Truth series. I normally stay away from fantasy, but this is a pretty good series.

Finishing Eye to Eye by Ken Wilber tonight, starting One Taste by Ken Wilber tommorow. Finishing up some other smaller readings too. Hopefully will be done with all the books I have started by the time I go back to school.

The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka

next:
probably a chemistry text book to help things move along for next semester.

How do you like it? I really liked the other books in the series, but I really thought he got waaay too preachy in this last one. I don't know, that might have just been me, though.

I've moved on to _The Naked Detective_ by Laurence Shames. It's seriously funny. It also has solid characterization and a native's feel for an "exotic" setting, Key West.
I've given up on _Bandits_ by Elmore Leonard. Has he written anything that made you laugh?

Indeed.. The dialogue is quite preachy and long winded, but it's still alot better than 'Pillars of Creation'. That one was too political.

The Life of Pi

Earth's children - the plains of pasage

What am I reading right now? That last sentance I just typed. What did I just finish reading? kwill's post. :D

Over the weekend I read Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" and "The Cardinal of the Kremlin". I really enjoy his books. Lots of good dialog, fun plot twists and exciting action. I'll have to hit a used book store or goodwill some time later this week to get the rest of his stuff. :)

A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge. Sprawling and incredibly imaginative sci-fi. A Deepness in the Sky, which came out recently, is a prequel and I plan to dig into that next.

I'm reading Farhenheit 451, and I'm amazed that 50 years ago he wrote about things that are happening today. Scary.

Now reading "A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin.

My desire to finish this book has taken corporeal form and forces me to read daily. I am literally getting NOTHING else done.

Two books on Country Music by Ralph Emery:

"The View from Nashville" and "50 Years Down a Country Road."

Just finished 'The Client' by John Grisham and am now starting on 'Reign of the Dead' by Len Barnhart.

Last (non-academic) book I read was "Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson. Excellent, excellent novel. I think I read it cover-to-cover several times before I managed to understand most of it.

I'm thinking about picking up a copy of "Snow Crash". Sci-fi rules!

"The Matrix and Philosophy" Edited by William Irwin

Just finished reading The Company by Richard Littell, it's a spy novel.

Reading Hawaii by James A. Michener now.

The Mole People by Jennifer Toth

An account of the people living in the tunnels beneath NYC

All of which are pretty captivating.

Starting A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

I've also been trying to get my hand on: Red Mars, Blue Mars, Green Mars... has anybody read them?

Weird, I LOVED Pillars of Creation because it was political. :o

Just picked up "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett; I'm a huge fan of the Vimes/Watch cast so I wanted to try out one of the side stories :D

The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker. Very long, but thought provoking non-fiction.

I saw some one was reading - To Green Angel Tower, Part 1" by Tad Williams - great book..

I'm currently rereading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.. excellent series.. on par with Tolkien... Currently on book 5 of 10.. about 7000ish pages in the series so far.

Just finished "The Facts of Life and Other Dirty Jokes," by Willie Nelson.

It's a day's read - a breeze through on the beach for me.

1984, first time too.

Tuxedo Park.......very good non-fiction about a group of scientists that helped with the development of RADAR in the early WWII days.
