Right now Im reading The Mosquito War by V.A. MacAlister. It presents a terrorism scenario in which one of our own research scientists releases malaria within the United States. All in an attempt to get the head of the company he works for to increase funding to his studies so he can find a cure for malaria. Im about 1/3 of the way through, good story so far!

Im also reading Edith Applegate's The Anatomy and Physiology Learning System (2nd edition) text book. For medical coding classes I might take in a few months, and its always good to know more about your own body.

I'm reading Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter book), Verification of Sequential and Concurrent Programs (it's actually pornography, but don't tell my boss), Monstrous Regiment (Terry Pratchett book), and Refinement Calculus (check out the centerfold in Appendix B!!!). I'm also waiting for Absolution Gap to hit paperback -- I just finished Redemption Ark.

Rise to Rebellion. I'm almost done, then I'm on the the next book.

My mom has a ton of Shaara's books, and I plan to read them as we hit that point in history in my US History course.

Just about finished Cities and the Wealth of Nations by Jane Jacobs. She makes some valid arguments, but it's noticibly out of date (written in early-mid '80s) and if you take some of her points out to their logical conclusions, they start to break down.

That surprises me. Don't you have sympathy for the man who likes the older world better than the new?

As for me, it's the Brothers Karamazoff, and I have about another 200 pages to finish.

Also, I have a Star Trek DS9 trilogy, that I found very compelling, which I've finished.

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny, the second time in about twenty years

and

The Hotel New Hampshire, by John Irving

I have never read this one before. Hotel New Hampshire is well written, but two characters have been scared to death by having heart attacks so far. I don't know if this some kind of intended joke or a hack attack.
If he doesn't resolve it or explain it some how by the end of the story, I will think the latter.

oh yeah. I started that too. Well to be more precise, Rashi's commentary on the Torah. With the interlinear translation by the team that included Harry Orlinsky. Rashi is VERY language focused, and this is helping me with my Hebrew.

POTM likes this. Ive never really gotten into it. At POTMs request I read Eragon. Some clever things, but on the whole you can tell too easily that it was written by a teenager.

Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces - Read the short stories when Im in the mood for literature.

William Howard Taft - Not so good

Just Finished.
Eight Men Out - About the black sox scandal, very good. The movie is good as well. Of course it modifies a few things.

Theodore Rex - Good, only talks about his presidency, gets a little boring toward the end.

Nominally, it's about recursion, language and artificial intelligence, and how such things are expressed and/or explored in the works of the aforementioned three gentlemen. The book's written in a quirky, enthuasistic manner and after a few chapters I still like it.

Ive been meaning to read all the way through that book, got it for christmas last year. Started it but there's something about it, the way its written, that I dont really like. (maybe its the being written by a teenager part)

It's a beautiful and potent novel (well, technically pre-novel but who's counting?), do I have to only like books that agree with me philosophically now?

I'm reading Gulliver's Travels mostly, and dipping into a couple of Dawkins' books for background. I'm also about a quarter of the way through Dan Brown's Deception Point, but I plan to continue reading this only in bookshops, so it might take a while.

I haven't read much from the Bible lately. Not sure if I've read the whole New Testament, but pretty sure I've read most of it. I think I've read less than half of the Old Testament. Out of both Testaments, the book I've read the most, the one that sticks most in my memory, and my favorite book is Genesis.

Currently I'm reading nothing.

But if I was it would be the Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F Hamilton. Best trilogy ever. Well honestly I'm looking at a book at the bookstore to buy but I can't afford it yet and I want to get my exams out of the way.
