What are you currently reading?

Into the Wild
Soon2be me

 

'wilderness empire', a fairly silly but interesting book - mostly because i knew so little - about william johnson the french and indian war

 

Pandora's Picnic Basket: The potential and hazards of genetically modified food.

Also, What Every American Should Know About Who's Really Running the World. I've kind of given up on that one though, its very biased. I can't deal with investigative journalism that uses elements of language and and the manipulation of fact in order to manipulate the reader. I feel like its an insult to my intelligience.

 

Foolish, light and enjoyable fiction:

"Indulgence in Death" by J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts)

 

Insomnia by Stephen king

 

^ I loved that book...and I'm not so sure that some of King's stuff doesn't have an element of truth in it. :sunny:

 

Everything That Rises Must Converge

 

Pride and Prejudice!

 

The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins

And

Harlequin
Bernard Cornwell
(a light historical fiction for bedtime)

 

"Veronika decide morrer" by Paolo Coelho. Still have no opinion if I like it or no I will let you know.

 

The Brothers Karamazov.

 

This threads got a life of it's own.It just keeps going and going!

 

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. It definitely isn't my favorite of his so far, but a very enjoyable read nnetheless.

 

Go ask alice and alice's adventures in wonderland.
Both for the like 5th time, They're 2 of my favorite books.

 

The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris

One of my professors suggested it to me.

 

Brave New World.

I'm also reading "The EveryGirl's Guide to Life" by maria menounos. It's not a book for girls; there's a lot of great tips for anyone. I'm using her organization tips to help clean out the garage, and my gf is using her workout tips.

 

just started reading Eating the Dinosaur

 

I a reading a few works currently:

1. Vector and Tensor Analysis by Wrede- a graduate school text in mathematics that primes you to understand Special and General Relativity in an advanced manner.

2. Basic and Clinical Pharmacology- a text on intermediate pharmacology (how drugs work).

3. god is Not Great (Hitchens)- a book about the dangers of organized religion. It is a very controversial book. I agree with most of it, but Hitchens is a little to extreme at times.

4. Junky (Burroughs)- just finished it. I am an opioid addict in recovery, so I found this raw account of addiction very relevant and informative.

I am going to probably read a book on Rational Emotive Therapy soon (I liked the two I have read so far, by A. Ellis), as well as another work by Burroughs, perhaps Naked Lunch.

 

I have that book, and really like it a lot. I really like the recipes that she shares, and am also benefiting from the makeup tips.
