What are you currently reading?
 

I decided that I'm not going to spend any more of my money on books until I finnish reading (or give a good couple of attempts) every single book in my personal library.

Unfortunately, the Star Wars trilogy - a book I bought in 7th grade - appears as the next book on my list (literally made one out of boredom).



Progressing slowly.

I just finished Dave Eggers "A Honest Work of Staggering Genius".

I was recommended the book by a friend. I gave it an "eh".

I just purchased "Cannery Row" by Steinbeck. I thought "East of Eden" was pretty good, and was recommended this book also. I've been wanting to read one of Ayn Rand's books, and after "Cannery Row" will more than likely pick up "Atlas Shrugged" (I think that is what it's called).

Physical Review E, Physical Review Letters, PLoS Computational Biology, Science, Nature, Cell, RNA, Nucleic Acids Research, and whatever else gets thrown my way. Such is the way of the grad student. Last book I read for pleasure? HOH2.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

wow, that was fast.

the poster mentioning steinbeck, I read "of mice and men" as a school assignment in 8th grade. very enjoyable but had a lachrymose effect on me.

list of books I read since my reading frenzy officially began :
1) Dune - Frank Herbert (3 thumbs up for sci-fi fans)
2) 2001 : a space odyssey - Arthur C. Clarke (meh)
3) The Dogs of Riga - Henning Mankell (spectacular swedish crime author, possibly not the same effect on non-swedes)
4) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip K. Dick (the novel they based "blade runner" on)
5) The Colour Of Magic - Terry Pratchett (funnnneh)

yes, indeed a lot of sci-fi/fantasy (focusing on clearing that shelf first).

"Flyboys" by James Bradley

It's about the treatment of shot-down American POWs by the Japanese on Chichi Jima (a short distance from Iwo Jima) during WWII. Very moving and eye-opening book.
