What are you reading?

What are you currently reading? I'm going to start Brian Wansink's Mindless Eating soon, I think. Other than that, I'm reading...textbooks. Yippee :P

Excellent thread!

I'm currently reading, "Sham: How the Self Help Industry Made America Helpless"

It's a pretty good, entertaining read right now.

My daughters and I are starting Laura Ingall's Little House series with book one. I'm also re-reading Peace Is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh. This is a good idea for a thread. I like seeing what other people are reading.

I'm right in the middle of "Surely you're Joking, Mr. Feynman". I heard so many good things about this book I just had to read it.

Reading Stuart - A Life backwards by Alexander Masters. It is about homeless life in Great Britain.

I'm definitely a reader. On my nightstnad I have "Country of the Pointed Firs" by Sarah Orne Jewett and also three Foxfire books. Love me some country livin'!

My car book (for waiting at the bank, etc.) is Joseph Heller's "Catch 22".

I'm also reading an online book, "Adventures in Thrift" - pre-WW1 home economic fun.

I downloaded "The Jungle" to my MP3 because I read 3/4 of it and lost the book - I want to finish it!

And I homeschool so various texts and articles for that. Plus Entertainment Weekly.

Recently finished a few weird books:
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
Madeline is Sleeping by Sarah Shun-lien Bynum

Also just reread "Enders Game" and "Atonement" (the movie sucked)

Gootsy · 01-15-2008, 10:45 PM

Enders Game's a good book. I did like the series, but not quite as much as the first one. I haven't read Enders Shadow yet, and it's been sitting on my bookshelf for far too long

.

This thread should be stickied imo

I'm currently juggling two books. The first is The Affected Provincial's Companion: Vol. I, a guide to dandyism. The second one is The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, a book on, um, the impact of the highly improbable. I'm barely into the two of them, but I like what I'm seeing so far.

I still haven't read Ender's Game yet! I've been putting it off for, like, four years. Ridiculous.

I'm in the middle of this book now:
Amazon.com: Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series): Books: William Bonner,Lila Rajiva
