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 . ------------------------- [Feminism is] a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. ~Pat Robertson |

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. |

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.
