Christine Feehan's Street Game

Now I'm on Col. Jack by Daniel Defoe, and actually it's pretty good considering even the introduction said it wasn't all that good.

I watched Apocalypse Now Redux, so I have to read Heart of Darkness again.  Its still by Joesph Conrad.  The Horror, the horror.

I just finished reading Asimov's Foundation series and the robot novels. Really good stories. It's intersesting to see his idea of the Future from 50-60 years in his Future. I believe I will get some of his other books.

Finishing up Foundation (book #1) right now.  Asimov's short stories are my favorite, though; there are several anthologies in print.  Clever, imaginative writer with a prescient sense of technology.  He predicted a future where all knowledge would reside in a great computer--of course, instead of a miles-long machine with vacuum tubes, we have the internet, but... close enough.  Great stuff to read in a laboratory while conducting... science 

I'm also currently reading The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene.  I remember the professor of my intro-level Physics class mentioning, as we were learning about Newton's Laws, that the laws were 'wrong.'  This book is about why that is so, and a lot more.  Absolutely fascinating, and not an impossible read.  I highly recommend it if you're at all interested in physics--or sci-fi for that matter.

prescient sense of technology
He did have a PhD in BioChem from Columbia, and a professor at Boston U.  So his science and technology was not by accident.  He was however very afraid of flying and only did it twice in his life, which is why, outside of New England, he rarely traveled.

The horror, the horror is right!  We just had to read that in English, and I think it's worst book I've ever had to read in class; when you're pining for In Our Time or Great Expectations, times are not good.

I'm re reading Gerald Durrell, My Family and Other Animals.
Finished the God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. So I bought The Greatest Show on Earth by him. I also got the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. And just to finish of a good shopping trip I bought 1080 Recipes by Simone and Ines Ortega; "The bible of authentic spanish cooking" so the cover note says.

Now for some time to read them

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

[AmySmiles]

My therapist lent me True Selves yesterday and I already read through it >_>  For leisure reading, I've moved on to the second book in the trilogy I was working on before: When True Night Falls by C.S. Friedman.

[Jester]

I'm reading Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil" for class and loving it.  "The Walking Dead" comics, Ovid's "Metamorphoses" on occasion, and "The Eternal Prison" by Jeffrey Somers in my spare time.

[Byren]

I just finished the first three books in the Legend of Drizzt series by Salvatore, and....holy moly, why the heck did I wait so long?! They are now my favorites!

I also just finished World of Warcraft: Arthas, which, if you're a WoW fan, is a quick, fun read.

The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor is what I'm reading now. It's a bit awkward, but is getting better as it goes along.

Found a book on Behavioral Endocrinology. Only book I've ever found on the subject so I think I'll enjoy this.

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. A slow, dense read but I've been enjoying its melancholy humour.

Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland

[tekla]

Oh I love Fanny Hill so much.  That being said I'm reading Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage.  Yeah, I'm boring.
