Alchemy by: Count of St. Germain

Best book I think I've ever read...

 

Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs...a cross between Patricia Cornwell and Dan Brown

 

I read that last year in school . :afro:

 

I'm reading a book of Shelley poetry. <3

 

Reading Lolita in Tehran; great even though she can get ramble-y at parts, and her interpretations of the works she talks about are sometimes a little suspect

 

"The Music Instinct" by Philip Ball (Subtitled : how music works and why we can't do without it.) Explores how the latest research in music psychology and brain science is piecing together the puzzle of how our minds understand and respond to music.Ranges from nursery rhymes to classical to rock.

 

Junky by William S. Burroughs
I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne

 

Francisco Goya by Robert Hughes

 

The Chosen by Ricardo Pinto...a very, very strange fantasy, sci-fi, that I am DETERMINED to get through, even if it puts out my eyes.

 

Home by Toni Morrison
I read this in one day. Very powerful book.

I have been taking Raven Stole the Moon by Garth Stein to read in waiting rooms for a couple years now and am still only about a third of the way through it. I suppose I should just read it at home. I loved his book The Art of Racing in the Rain I am not sure why I am just not getting into the Raven title.

 

1984 - George Orwell, reading that currently, for the second time.

 

At the moment, I'm reading the late David Foster Wallace's immense novel 'Infinite Jest', as well as René Kager's profound linguistics textbook titled 'Optimality Theory'.

 

"Zorba The Greek" by Nikos Kazantzakis...(Again.)

 

Confessions of an English Opium Eater. I like the writing style of de Quincey. It's interessting to read about his 'career' as an opium addict around 1800.

 

Taking my fourth round through "The Hunger Games" trilogy... just started with the first book again yesterday. I guess, I'm kinda hooked on the turmoils of a teenage girl, trying to grow up in a dystopic world...

Might be, that my own growing up in the shade of a coal mine (and growing up with cats, too) makes it easy for me to root with Katniss, District 12 (and Buttercup, too =^0.o^= )

Wiggling bare toes,

Minds....

 

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand- It pulled me right in after 30 minutes.
