Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower - William Blum

ooh, another Darkover fan!

Lullaby - Chuck Palahniuk

After coming off a long Orson Scott Card re-reading streak, Palahniuk's style of writing is very, very different, and I'm having a hard time settling into it. But I recognize that this is temporary; the book itself is very good so far.

The Dresden Files books by Jim Butcher
the Nightside books by Simon Green
and working my way slowly through "The Last of the Mohicans". I despise Fenimore Cooper's overblown writing, but at least it's better than "The Deerslayer"
I read a ton, so what I'm reading is ever-changing.

Books you're currently reading???
 

Dave Barry's "History Of The Millennium" (So Far)...Which actually starts January 1, 1000 (And the Y 1K Problem therein) and can only be described as a look at history as seen by the warped mind of Dave.

Read it in a public place and watch as people stare at you strangely as you randomly laugh out loud.

Just finished I Am America (And So Can You!) by Colbert Himself, and now i'm reading A.J. Jacobs' The Year Of Living Biblically. SO interesting! (if a little too pro-religion for me). Well, I guess it's not pro-religion at the beginning.... anyway it's still incredible.

Got Jeff Pearlman's "Love Me, Hate Me: Barry Bonds and the Making of an Antihero" for Christmas. Fantastically written, very in-depth biography of Bonds and a study of the environment he grew up in. Highly recommended for any baseball fans.

Saturnalia Lindsey Davis

:D

The original "Batman"- The Count of Monte Cristo.

Just finished Slam, but the same guy, Nick Hornby, who wrote About A Boy and High Fidelity. Pretty good.

Recently finished:
Jerry Spinelli - Milkweed
William Goldman - The Princess Bride
Dashiell Hamett - The Maltese Falcon (As an aside, this book ended up inspiring a weird dream last night where I was working as a private detective with several other Dwellars and then got tased while I was following someone -- the iTaser thread was the last thing I looked at before bed, last night. I woke up from the dream unable to move or speak until my brain caught up and I realized I had not actually been tased.)

In progress:
F. Scott Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby
Sandra Cisneros - The House on Mango Street

I'm taking a course on Adolescent Literature this semester that requires me to read about two novels a week, so I expect I'll be making frequent visits to this thread over the next few months.

In progress: Darwin's Radio -Greg Bear and Living Budda Living Christ - that monk guy

*ahem* also Fever Pitch. But it wasn't about baseball when he wrote it, rather the mighty mighty Arsenal FC.

oh, and I just finished reading I Am Legend. Not bad, but not great either.

Fnished- Interworld. An interesting little pilot for a Saturday morning cartoon series in book form.

Reading- M is for Magic. Short stories, some of which I already had. Good stuff, though.
