Im reading a book called 'Goodbye California'- its all about how easy it is to steal Uranium 235 from your power stations over there to build a bomb to blow up California along the San Andreas Fault.
You better be careful you Californians there are a lot of terrorists around today and this book was written about your inneficiant security at these stations.

I tend to read multiple books at once, and it takes me forever to finish them.  Right now I am reading Naked by David Sedaris  I highly recommend it.  Sedaris is the most funny and insightful writer I have read in a long time.   I can't wait to finish this one and pick up the rest of his books.   I also started reading Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis.  I find Ellis intriguing, but thouroughly depressing, so I don't think I will finish this one.   I have started reading Imperial Life in the Emerald City by a guy whose name escapes me.    This book is surpisingly enjoyable for a book that is a detailed jornalistic study into our blunder in Iraq.

National Geographic- Essential Visual History of World Mythology

[childofwinter]

I'm currently reading a number of books by Ursula le Guin (I tend to read multiple books at the same time - one day I might read one and the next day I might read another and the day after that go back to the first one).

[Constance]

For fiction I'm reading "Valentine of Majipoor," which is a single-volume that has "Lord Valentine's Castle," "The Majipoor Chronicles," and "Valentine Pontifex."

For nonfiction, I'm reading "Bisexuality and the Eroticism of Everyday Life" by Marjorie Garber.

The former was a birthday present from my son, and the latter was a birthday present from my wife.

Democracy In America- Alexis de Tocqueville.

It'll probably take me several months to finish. I'm a very slow reader.

Wow. This thread goes WAY back. Anyway... I just finished some random book by Dean Koontz... it was lame, but kept my attention well enough. Now I'm on to Speaking With the Devil by Carl Goldberg... excellent psychoanalytical perspective on the nature of evil, with a little religion and philosophy thrown in.

I'm more of fiction reader myself. So right now I'm in the middle Star Trek: A Singular Destiny. I know I'm a Trekkie and lovin' it.

Yes!  I ran across it at Walmart the other day, and did a little happy dance in the store.  Got some strange looks, too.     It's called Frankenstein: Dead and Alive.

That sounds rather good. I think I'll read that at some point.

I'm about halfway through Frankenstein: Dead and Alive now.  I'm enjoying it.  I must say Bucky and Janet Guitreau are some of the most entertaining psychopathic killers I've read about in a long time.    Chapter 2 has one of the best opening lines of all time:

"When the Pizza-delivery guy, looking for the Bennet house, made the mistake of going to the Guitreau house next door, Janet Guitreau surprised herself by dragging him into her foyer and strangling him to death."
