Re: What are you reading?
While waiting in line today for Free Comic Book Day (yeah, I'm one of THOSE :tg), I killed some time by tackling something that's a harder read than Proust #4:
Rocket Ship Galileo - Robert A. Heinlein To add that tiny bit of appropriate authenticity to the experience, I chose a 50-year old Ace paperback reprint, cover price of 95 cents. :D |
Re: What are you reading?
Re-reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy for about the 6th time. Just a great read. Movie sucked by comparison but to me this book is one of the best.

some acting group near my home does Shakespeare in the park every summer. Decided to read The Taming of the Shrew before I check out the performance

Re: What are you reading?
A combined edition of "The Prince" and "Discourses on Livy" by Niccolo Machiavelli.
My past history lessons (high school etc.) had treated Machiavelli as an advocate of amorality, if not the devil incarnate. Per Eric Hoffer's commentaries in "The Ordeal of Change" and other references, I now look at "The Prince" (his more commonly recognized work) as a sort of "demo reel" by a veteran of Renaissance politics, who was himself above reproach, had been put to pasture by a change of regime, and wanted more than anything to get back into the game. |

Re: What are you reading?
Roots of Obama's Rage by Dinesh D'Souza. Had a lot of political psychology in college and a friend asked me to read it. Gave him a fascinating book on the Federal Reserve. Guess we are going to have lunch sometime and compare notes.
I'm not big on conspiracy theories ... try to keep an open mind and ignore the BS. Just started it and, so far, the guy is laying out a pretty straightforward case. |

"The World Until Yesterday" by Jared Diamond. A study of traditional societies. His book "Guns Germs and Steel'" is a must-read and so far this one is just as well written.
