a very large spirit indeed - large enough to encompass all things - living and otherwise.

Just finished the new Harry Potter (I know it's a kids book but addictions are addictions) and now I'm on to Michael Crichton's Travels.

You are lucky, Cole - I have the new one, but Peter won't let me read it till I finish my school reading .

I'm reading some visual rhetoric stuff (pretty good, sounds boring but it's actually talking about the rhetoical choices behind ads and other commercial visuals) and some Human Factors stuff (Boooring - lots of physnometry, which is the measurements of all things human, like the burning question - how long is the average human arm?) as well as some Information Literacy stuff (even more boooring). Honestly, I am beginning to wonder why I'm doing this.

But if I'm REAAALLY good this weekend, I get to read about Harry's adventures instead .

Deception Point by Dan Brown. It's taking a little while to get through it cause it's not the best book I've read, but not too bad either. I'm also reading this skateboarding history book called Scarred for Life. I actually like that one quite a bit for short "in between" reads.
Looking forward to trying to finally get through Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance next.

Thanks for all the suggestions....nice topic, now I can research a couple of these and see what will come next!

kumon- I couldn't trudge through the bad writing of monkey wrench though I appreciated many of the sentiments.

Currently reading: Gurcharan Das's ''India Unbound''
Pretty interesting history of India's economic policy and why there economy didn't take off like many of the east asian countries.

Cole, do you have any more info on Michael Crichton's Travels? how far are you into it?
I love travel books, that's why I'm asking.
Thanks.

Jeep, I'm a third of the way through and it's quite good. If you like travel check out Tristan Jones " The Incredible Voyage", it's the best factual adventure book I've ever read, in fact after reading it I went and bought his whole series.

Conspiracy of Fools. It's a difficult read but worth the effort. It's about the Enron scandal and how badly those guys screwed the investors and how they did it.
