What are You Reading?

[sigmapiguy]

So far this summer I've read: Being and Nothingness by Sartre, Beyond Good and Evil by Nietzsche, The Critique of Pure Reason by Kant, *******s Finish First by Tucker Max, and a few others. I currently starting Human, All-Too Human by Nietzsche and Being and Time by Heidegger. Philosophy (particularly existentialism) is best served with a nice pipe ::

Re-reading the Foxfire books

Loved the Foxfire books. I used to teach low impact camping and woodscraft. Those books were basically the textbooks.
Right now I'm reading THE SQUAD: The Intelligence Operations of MichaelCollins
It's amazing. Full of first hand accounts from members of The Squad and other key figures in the War of Independence. Most of the interviews were compiled in the 1950s, on promise the book would not be published until everyone who gave the interviews had died. Finally published in 2005.

Barnes Noble Leather Edition "H.P. Lovecraft - the Complete Fiction." Simply amazing.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

I just finished Foreign Influence by Brad Thor and I'm about to start his newest one, Full Black. He's got such a dark sense of humor even through horrific things (like terrorist attacks) so I'll probably stock up on his older books after this. Also this week, I read the Christopher Reich trilogy - Rules of Deception, Rules of Vengeance and Rules of Betrayal.
I still have George R.R. Martin's A Dance With Dragons on the to be read list but I'm going to have to work up some boredom before I start it. I'd like for just a single character with any good personality traits to survive more than a few chapters! The best synopsis of the books I can give is this: no one dies of the plague.

Tons of emails, and the WSJ.

I'll probably finish The Hound of the Baskervilles tonight.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes

 

[rigmedic1]

Embassytown, by China Meiville. It's interesting if you like permutations of language in a sci-fi world.

 

[peevee]

Just finished Marlon Brando's autobiography. Now reading Dante Giacosa's autobiography, "Forty Years of Design with Fiat"

 

[seanz]

the Hiram Key By Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas. They looking to find the origins of masonic ritual quite interesting so far...

I am reading the second book in the Sword of Truth series and the Lost Hero!

 

[ichbinmuede]

Just read the Riftwar Saga again and just today finished off Warren Zevon's biography "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead". I'd recommend that anybody that has an even passing interest in Warren and his music give it a read.
