What are you reading right now?

In addition to The Great Gatsby, I'm also re-reading Animal Farm.

 

I'm currently reading two books. One is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, and the other is Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake. Both are very, very good.

 

Actually, I changed my mind, now I'm readin A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

 

Naked Lunch: The Restored Text
by William S. Burroughs

 

DHARMA BUMS:Kerouac

"Gold" by Isaac Asmiov.
AMAZING writer!

 

Cannabis, a history


I wanted to discover if there is evidence of Cannabis being indigeneous to North America.

Well the evidence is scant.
There is some evidence that there was a form of Cannibis here, but that it was niether Sativa nor Indica.
Several early explorers claim to have seen it already here, and some evidence of Cannabis exists in Pre-Columbian burial mounds.
But where is it now? What happened to it?
The book doesn't go into it; except to acknowledge that Cannabis Sativa arrived with the early Conquistadors and quickly spread to all parts of temperate and tropical America.

 

Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen. She was a very intelligent woman, you can tell just from her writing.

 

Living Downstream-Sandra Steingraber

Doors of Perception-Huxley
HeavenandHell- "

eh...what do you think of Silent Spring so far...I liked the subject but I thought sometimes it just got damned boring...

 

My dad gave me Thomas Mann's "Confessions of Felix Krull" & I'm very much enjoying it so far..

I agree Svg, Silent Spring did slop on the zzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... often, but then again it isn't novel.I thought it was a nice flow to it for an info book. Plus I felt I needed to read the 'founding mother' book first.

Life and Love
I'll finish one of these books.....someday
