What are you reading?
We've got a "What are you listening to?" thread, so I figured a similar thread on reading might be fun. Discussions aren't required. I'll start.
AUTHOR/EDITOR - TITLE (GENRE) Voltaire - Candide (Novelette) Christian George - Sex, Sushi, and Salvation (Christian Living) David Edmond and John Eidinow - Bobby Fisher Goes to War (Non-fiction/History) - [soon to be a movie] Robert J. Dean - How Can We Believe? (Christian Apologetics) Holy Spirit - Holy Bible (Word of God)

Re: I'm reading...
I don't read books of fiction like 'spaz; however, I did read Voltaire's Candide in World Literature when in college.
Here's one of my latest non-fictional reads: Einstein: A Stubbornly Persistent Illusion: The Essential Works of the World's Greatest Physicist Other than the above, I've been reading scores of First Amendment case law and SCOTUS opinions.

Re: What are you reading?
What is 'Christian Apologetics'??
Anyway.. I trying to read I Am Legend, but I made the mistake of seeing the movie first. Besides that, I'm pretty much getting all of my reading material on-line. |

Re: What are you reading?
I am in the middle of a sci-fi project...
Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451 (sci-fi) and Aldous Huxley - Brave New World (sci-fi) at the moment...

Neither of which are really Sci-Fi.

Re: What are you reading?
That's the one with the male models, right?
Tonight I read some of Sports Illustrated and the newspaper. I also read the liner notes of the Fireballet free CD sampler I picked up at Nearfest. And then some reviews. Free is too expensive for the derivative garbage contained within the disc. I shouldn't be harsh, since I play no instrument, but what an embarassment. I am slowly making my way through Stephen Colbert's book...it's a scream. |

Mostly cereal boxes, pc world and the job classified.
Read the rain gauge yesterday. And if I actually break out a book, it's Patterson or Baldacci.

Re: What are you reading?
To be serious (for a moment)....I'm taking another stroll down memory lane reading Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda again.
I really love this book, not just for the obvious Tales From Topographic Oceans link but because it's a beautiful and inspiring read. I always feel better when I've read this. Thanks Spaz.....you've got me back into the idea of picking up a book again. In fact I've taken a number of books off the shelves and piled them up to tackle in a few days. So far I've chosen: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach I think I might have a headache soon. Too much to think about. |

Re: What are you reading?
The sign of a true YES and TFTO fan. I have that book somewhere on the shelf too. I purchased and read it after reading Jon's comments in the TFTO vinyl gatefold. It was a paperback edition. I wonder if, after 30+ years, its pages haven't disintegrated.

Sharply contrasting themes, save for the web development, to those that started this thread!

Re: What are you reading?
Great thread spaz! I've been thinking about starting something something along the same lines and may actually do it now.
I am currently reading The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett recommended by my wife (and I believe Oprah ). I really enjoyed Sailing to Sarantium by Guy Gavriel Kay and my wife thought that it was in a similar vein. Maybe similar but, in my opinion, Sailing to Sarantium was better written. |

Re: What are you reading?
Yaaah!
Could you be a bit more precise? No science or not fiction?!
