I finished Among the Cannibals, a gastric masterpiece, I'm thinking of converting to Hindu.

Now on Diamonds GGS, never read it before, a bit outdated.

I know I know, there is another thread of similar theme, but I can't be bothered this far into my cups.

I'll add a twist: what is it about this book you value?



TNDommeK -> RE: What [i]are[/i] you reading? (4/5/2012 11:51:44 PM)

The Red Queen. Not sure of the author, as the book is in My room and cannot check it. But so far it is good.

EF Schumacher, Small is beautiful

it's a resource for an assignment i'm doing, but it resonates both with the tone of my studies and with my own views of economics on a local domestic scale. i have a hard time getting my head around the global scale of economics [>:]

Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse. My son recommended it, but I am not very interested in spirituality, so I haven't found it too interesting.

Living with the Devil: A Meditation on Good and Evil: Stephen Batchelor
Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness: Jon Kabat-Zinn
The Narrows: Michael Connelly
Re-reading Stephen King's Dark Tower books to get me in the mood for his in-between book The Wind Through the Keyhole which came out in a limited edition in February and will be fully released this month. I'm # 8 for it at the library, which has ordered 8 copies. I've learned to get into the hold queue ASAP.

Yes, I'm eclectic :)

I never finished the Dark Tower, I think I read the first couple of books back in the 80's, Living with the Devil sounds interesting.

I do need to read Schumacher, I've been aware of the book for some time, and it might be timely at the moment, given we're headed towards a Gibsonian dystopia without all the slick shit.

Siddhartha I read long ago, I love Hesse, and Siddhartha made a big impression on me.

I'm coming up on the end of "The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes". It's fascinating, they reproduced the newspaper style column layout, with the original drawings and everything. Way back in elementary school I used to read Sherlock Holmes, and re-reading it is kind of the breather, the break, in between reading the heavier Ayn Rand philosophy I'm still working through.

The Herblock Book. Political cartoons from the dean of cartoonists, with a liberal bias. It covers the post-WW2 era through Nixon and the early Reagan years.

The only thing I've been reading lately is a manual for Lightroom software.



soul2share -> RE: What [i]are[/i] you reading? (4/6/2012 12:02:02 PM)

Nothing in particular at the moment.....re-reading All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriott.....saw it in the Humane Society's Thrift shop and haven't read it in years. Got a bunch of other light reading too. Just going thru all my books and reading whatever strikes me at the time....I was reading the Stephanie Plum books again, stopped on 12 Sharp.



OsideGirl -> RE: What [i]are[/i] you reading? (4/6/2012 12:06:56 PM)

The Program by Gregg Hurwitz.

I have The Hunger Games in queue.



MistressDarkArt -> RE: What [i]are[/i] you reading? (4/6/2012 12:23:26 PM)

'The Litigators' by Grisham.

I recommend '2030' by Albert Brooks (yes, the actor). Fiction, but a little too close to home to be mere entertainment.



Soyokaze -> RE: What [i]are[/i] you reading? (4/6/2012 12:45:24 PM)

Mockingjay, pretty good series so far. I slowed down in my reading because I've been taking more showers than baths lately, but I'm starting to redouble my efforts. Not sure what I'm going to start reading after that.

HAHAHA, I just put this on hold and am # 481. Never been out of the 100s before. My gf has this on Kindle and can probably loan it to me though.

Bookwise I've just finished Alien Earth by Megan Lindholm, weird but interesting story



QueenRah -> RE: What [i]are[/i] you reading? (4/13/2012 4:18:58 PM)

"A Density of Souls," by Christopher Rice. Absolutely amazing. Couldn't believe I had not found this book sooner and I did not want it to be over.



Rule -> RE: What [i]are[/i] you reading? (4/13/2012 4:28:57 PM)

I am reading the Hardy Boys series.
