O_O. I was about to say the same thing. How did you like it?

I'm mainly reading "Energy Work" by Robert Bruce which is interesting.

It is, but I found reading the book was worth it. She had to go through a trial, that trust me, looked like it tested her sanity. It's an amazing story about bravery an her part.

I can imagine! My mom went on a recent tirade about lawyers (she had to give a deposition the other day) and the case she was testifying on was very small, so it's no wonder a trial like that would have tested her sanity. I'll definitely have to check that out.

Right now I'm planning on reading Doors of Perception by Huxley (courtesy of Speesh for sending me a PDF file of it!) and The Lovely Bones, if I can find my mom's copy.

I have down bellow station sitting on my lap right now. I'm contemplating reading it... Anyone else read it?

If online pages count, Iczelion's Win32 Assembly tutorial.

I'm in the process of reading the Aeneid and Illiad, and also "Soft Machines nanotechnology and life."

Just finished Twilight Eyes, The Face Of Fear, and Shattered. All by Dean Koontz. Right now I'm on the fourth book in the House Of Night series and I'm probably going to start The Host some time soon.

Oh, yeah. I 'm planning on reading the latest of the House of Night Series. 'Tempted' I believe it's called correct?

The Great Gatsby.

Yeah, it's tempted.

-Also- just started Pet Semetary by Stephen King

The Blue Book

Battle Royale (Koushun Takami) and A Clockwork Orange (Anthony Burge). The latter is proving stuborn. I'm tempted to just watch the film as it's said to be better anyway. And just finishing up Life of Pi.

Books on hold that I really ought to pick up:

Brave New World
The Cider House Rules
Lord of the Flies (again)
Naked lunch (what?)

Just finished: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Phillip K Dick.

Now: Hmm, probably On the Road by Kerouac, started it a while ago but dropped it like halfway through for some reason.

I just started "Plato, Not Prozac!" by Lou Marinoff.

This book has been collecting dust on my shelf for at least 4 years, so I figured I should get around to it.

One quote so far that made my heart happy:

"The idea that every personal problem is a mental illness is practically a mental illness itself. It is caused primarily by thoughtlessness, and cured primarily by thoughtfulness. And that's where philosophy comes in."

Wittgenstein on Meaning by uh Colin McGinn

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradburry.

I'm thinking about restarting Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter next.

I'm almost through Brian Greene's 'The elegant universe'.

I am in the middle of Lewis Carrol's 'Alice in Wonderland'.

I am at the appendix of Carlos Castenada's 'The teachings of Don Juan'.

Re-reading Time's Eye by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter, after which I plan to follow through with the trilogy. It's a great read for anyone who loves fucking with history and time. Alternate title: A 21st Century UN Peacekeeper in Genghis Khan's court.

Finished the Giver

Now on to Farhenheit 451

All great classics; I particularly liked 1984.

Supposed to be reading Wuthering Heights but somehow that didn't end up on my agenda of things to do, so I'll say I'm currently making my way through the Sparknotes of Wuthering Heights

Still on The Lovely Bones and Doors of Perception.

Novel wise would be The Shimmer by David Morrell.
Lately, I've been interested in ghost hunting books, tarot cards, psychic stuff - mediums etc. Also books on both spirits and energy. I'm always interested in dream books though there are not that many, most of them aren't that useful. I find information online to be more helpful.

-Chase

assassin's apprentice (first book of the farseer trilogy) by Robin Hobb. Not that far in yet, but my brother told me the series is amazing.

Let me know if it's any good, tkdyo. I keep almost picking it up, then getting distracted by the next book in The Sword of Truth or A Song of Ice And Fire.

Right now, though, I'm reading A Princess of Landover, by Terry Brooks. I saw he had a new Magic Kingdom book out and just couldn't help myself. I'm also reading The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie on my computer, and was in the middle of Inca Gold by Clive Cussler, but had to return it to the library without finishing it.
