I am reading "Free Agent nation" by Daniel Pink and I just finished "Neither Here Nor There" by Bill Bryson. He is so funny!

It's interesting reading and a different way of thinking about events in the financial markets. However, the writing style and tone in the book isn't new to me. Before picking up the book, I'd been reading The Daily Reckoning where Bill Bonner is one of the writers.

Bill Bryson's stuff is very funny in his dry way.

Just finished reading "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho for my book club. For all the hype it received, I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd expected. I don't think I'm into philosphy-type books.

Next up is "The Sweet Hereafter," "Fast Food Nation" and "Trading Up: The New American Luxury." Geez I have a full plate here.

I'm usually not a big reader. Since I'm engaged to an English professor, this usually means I get the "tsk, tsk" treatment on my reading habits. The last book I read was the Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. Now, I'm just starting Body for Life by Bill Phillips since I'm a fitness junkie.

Re-reading A Wrinkle in Time from when I was a kid. It is amazing how much of it has stuck with me.

I just finished, "What They Don't Teach You At Harvard Business School" Was very easy read, and kinda mixed up my thinking a little which's always nice. Recommend.

Just started, "Intelligent Investor".

Reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. And yeah its big..1080 pages are like too much. But the Masterpiece is worth it. I hope everyone reads it. Im trying to finish it today.

Right now it's "The Evolution Handbook" and one of Ruth Rundell's mysteries, love them detective books, the more complicated, the better. Plus I'm always on the lookout at the library for frugal information.

Working my way through every Phillip Margolin novel the local library has while I work on finishing up a recipe collection to send along to someone else.
