Now Reading

The Onion's Our Dumb World/Planet

Young Stalin by Mr. Simon Sebag

Haunted - Chuck Palahniuk

Just finished The God Delusion, wasn't impressed. I'm actually picking up books I should have read years ago, but somehow missed. Right now it's The Bell Jar and Slaughter House 5.

I'm kinda reading The History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell, a book called Contemporary Clinical Psychology, and I'm teaching myself Topology with Topology by Munkres.

Were there any areas in particular that he didn't address?

Not thorough enough?

I'm not disagreeing - simply curious as I've yet to finish reading, thereupon gathering my thoughts.

edgar allen poe

and "oprical mineralogy - principles and problems" by Gribble & Hall

Rainbows End (sic) by Vernor Vinge

Had to bump to say that I'm still reading Pynchon's Against the Day and that it's the most enjoyable, dense and fun reading I've ever had. I took another break in between to read Roman by Polanski, a tell-all autobiography by the director (pretty juicy).

Trawler, Redmond O'Hanlon

Cowboy in de Pyschiatrie, Bram Bakker

"Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut

In Cold Blood was pretty intense.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Conan Doyle), The Penultimate Truth (P.K. Dick) and Don Quixote (Cervantes) for over a year. Amongst others, like Frankenstein and the Odyssey, which I've started but am hoping to start again at some point.

Just finished World War Z. I need a change of pace. All of this zombie media is starting to make me think it's going to happen soon for realz. I think I'll read Catcher in the Rye next.
