just recently have been reading quite a bit, after hardly not at all except work stuff for a few years.

right now, im actually reading 3 books, sort of.

1)

rather meh. im almost done. not my type of book, only reading it because it was 1$ at a book sale and i'd seen it on must read lists. its not that. i've got 40 pages to go and i feel like im still waiting for the book to get going. some cool parts here or there, but not what i was hoping.

this one's way out there for me. its a bit of a precursor to sex and the city... not exactly going to sell people on the book but reading it you can tell that they completely ripped jung off. i hate her 1/2 the time, but it is pretty funny / interesting as well at times. the author is of the 'batshit crazy ho bag' variety of female, which perhaps is under represented in the literary ranks.

this book is kicking my ass. i've read about 100 pages, and maybe a third of them i was completely lost. sparknotes.com is pretty much required rider. painful to read sometimes, but its almost universally considered the best book fo the 20th century, which is why i wanted to read it. im somewhat optimistic that its getting easier to read.

just finished city of z. not very good.

howeva, it was my toilet reading material, meaning i need something new. any suggestions? for that task, i prefer something light and non fiction.

Sam Harris' The Moral Landscape is light (sadly) and non-fiction. It's not very good but it's new (came out in Oct 2010)

The History of Money is good until it gets to modern finance.

The Riddle of the Compass: The Invention that Changed the World is both good and light. I read it, literally, while walking around Boston with a couple of girls who where mind-numbingly boring.

Sam Harris seems to be at his best when he's really pissed off about something.

I read "Under The Banner of Heaven" recently and was ... just really freaked out. Great book, but it changed how I look at Mormons.

Now I'm reading Lord of the Rings again.

jk, Twilight.

The History of Money is actually called The Ascent of Money. I tried to change it in the original post but couldn't get the website to reload. Hence the double post.

Hell, I would've given you my copy had I known.

I'm reading Geekonomics at the moment:
http://www.geekonomicsbook.com/
There's lots of good stuff in here, but lots to criticize as well.

thanks but bought it online.

actually, i started out at borders... err, barnes and knoble. the girl tried to sell me "five people you meet in heaven", and i was all like "bitch, is you fuckin wit me? cuz ho, if you isnt im gonna slap you".

it all worked out in the end. b&k would have had to order it and charge me 32 + ridiculous chicago sales tax. bought it used on line for 3.46 cents.

What y'all reading? Some recommendations would be cool.

in before The Occult Roots of Nazism and The Werewolf by Montague Summers.

Have you checked out the Hardy Boys mysteries??

these guys?

Need to get a Kindle.

No need if you have an iPad.

I don't, lolz!!!! Should I?

#techtalk

Love mine. The wife uses the kindle app and doesn't even consider using her kindle anymore.

I have no kids, but I'm so dad guy sometimes. Know next to nothing about these things. #smh

Or anything else, for that matter.

Just remembered that one of my relatives has an iPad. Maybe I'll steal it from him. Ha!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I have an extra Kindle.

Kindle paperwhite is a game changer compared to an Ipad. YOu'll kill your eyes reading on an Ipad or a fire all the time and it's useless in sunlight.
