I just finished Graham Obree's book, The Flying Sctosman and a history of suergery. Currently reading a spy thriller.

Obree's book is a good light read and gives insight to the demons that he fought due to his pshcyological instabilities.

The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery.

I'm really struggling to reconcile the author's view of how much damage my relatively frugal lifestyle does to the planet.

All winter I had time to read
 

Mom lives with us and has a lot of mystery books and subscribed to more. I read too many Patterson's, Tannenbaum's, etc etc etc etc. These books make Dirty Harry movies look tame.

These books combined with the "Blind Swordsman" movies on Saturday morning have dampened any taste for anything more than Harry Potter for which I am signed up to receive when it comes out.

My condition only allows me to read forum posts.

The Making of a Chef - Michael Ruhlman

May issue of Playboy - I swear I only buy it for the great artiticles :D

a friend just game me, The pleasure of finding things out: The best short works of Richard Feynman. I have not started but he recommended the book so highly and everything he has recommended has been great, so i will post it.

my other current read is peter the great by massie. old school fun.

These 3 are on my night stand:

The Great Escape - Kati Marton
Exodus - Leon Uris
By Blood and Fire- Thurston Clarke

The one on Steve Nash rocked! He is so much cooler then people think....oh wait you were joking!



I am reading Harry potter #6, so that I will be refreshed for #7 in July.

I am also reading Hatchet, Maniac Magee, and 5th grade research papers!

Anything by Michael Crichton. Anyone read his newer book "Next"??
If you've never read his book "Travels", I highly recommend it.

My wife and I both like to read MC books. Though, we both feel the same in that the endings for a number of his works seem a little weak. Kind of like he does a great amount of research for his novels, does a great job of constructing the beginning and the body, then suddenly realizes: "Oh yeah, I better end this".

I just finished Yann Martel's "Life of Pi." I'm also reading "Children of Sisyphus" by Orlando Patterson and "The sociological tradition" by Roger Nisbet.

as a consequence of reading again, i'm writing too...
