Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (almost done)
Atlas Shrugged (gotta finish before the movie comes out on the 16th!)

Seems like I'm the only voracious reader on here lately

They're making a movie of Atlas Shrugged? Wow.

My current reading is: A Bridge Too Far by Cornelius Ryan, the account of the campaign to seize a number of bridges in Holland in late 1944. Great book. On deck: The Portable Atheist.

Yeah part one (since the book is so goddamn long). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480239/ They apparently started making it like 5 years ago, but haven't made any progress til recently. Which reminds me, I still need to see the Fountainhead.

Been reading tons lately.

Dune and Dune Messiah

The Phantom Tollbooth

Heart of Darkness

Sex, Sin, and Zen

Couple of random books on zen.

Right now I'm working on "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. It's about a Gorilla who is teaching a human about culture. Brilliant book so far.

Of also reading the collected works of Antonin Artaud.

Almost done with "Greyhound" by Steffan Piper.

After that I have "A Life Scattered" by Karen McQuestion on my Kindle download list.


Also, I haven't read "The Phantom Tollbooth" since 5th grade. I think I might look that up next time I'm at the library.

Freakonomics was great.

My book seems boring in comparison to the rest - Kathy Reichs - 206 Bones, and Why Men Don't Have a Clue and Women Always Need More Shoes by Barbara and Allan Pease (it was a gift, kinda funny).

Reading "The Ghost Map".

It's about two men and how they helped stop the Cholera outbreaks in 1850's London. And yet so much more. A great read, specifically when you consider the similarities to climate change science and the politics surrounding it.

I read World War Z just recently, and when I find a moment I'll start China Mieville's new one, which I downloaded (how surreal is that?) the other day.

The original Conan stories. They're good, but a lot of the same in each story.
