A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

One of the rare gems that I am able to laugh aloud while reading. It is a superbly well-written and witty book.

I highly recommend it to those looking for a good, enjoyable read.

I'm reading
"The Great Dragon's Fleas"
by Tim Ward
It's a great travel book/search for spirituality (primarily Buddist leaning).
Also reading
"Water", forgot the author.
Book about the state of the world's water supply.

Now I am reading A Walk in the Woods, by Bill Bryson. I have read about half of it in the past two days, and it is one of the most hilarious books I have ever read.

David2000 09-17-2003 02:50 PM

just finished "survival in auschwitz" -- fantastic book about someone who lived through it. Now I'm reading Darwin's Dangerous Idea by Daniel Dennett, it's about the theory of evolution and tons of misconceptions that people have about it.

"Drop City" by T.C. Boyle.

Set in 1970 in a hippy commune. Fiction. Only on page 54, but shows great promise. It was recommended to me by a friend with good taste in books.

peacy 09-20-2003 01:01 AM

"Paul Britton - Picking up the pieces"

He's Britain's most famous and successful criminal profiler. The book is full of criminal investigations he participated in throughout his life.
