I finished The Stranger. It was boring/pointless until the last chapter. Meursault's confrontation with the priest... that's some good writing, right there. I'll probably re-read the whole thing before I have to turn it in.

Now I'm about to start in on Wuthering Heights.

I'm currently reading Capote's In Cold Blood. Before that I read Third Term: Why George Bush <3 John McCain by Paul Begala and A People's History of American Empire by Howard Zinn.

I'm currently reading The Burning Girl, by Mark Billingham. So far (I just started this morning and am on chapter 3) it is very well written. I'm hoping that the entire novel continues to be excellent.

City of God's actually a lot better than Confessions, imo. And it STILL makes me wish Augustine never existed.

Posted by: Hedonism Oct 24 2008, 10:29 PM

Oh, I sure you're not that old.

Posted by: hi-C Oct 24 2008, 10:36 PM

Nah, it's not that I'm old; I'm only 22. It's that it came out when I was a college sophomore, so I wasn't reading anything other than what was assigned for class. Now it's like, psh, why get caught in the hype, you know?

The Discourses, Machiavelli

Oh, JC, to answer your question way back when, I really liked The Prince. It's not something I would have read for pleasure or anything, but his views on how to be a successful ruler, conqueror, etc are pretty interesting. A really nice change from Augustine & all the Biblical works we had to read before Machiavelli.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Nov 3 2008, 02:15 PM

i'm probably going to read it before long whenever i get a break from school work since it doesn't seem like the kind of book i'd want to read when i'm loaded down with other stuff.

It's kind of a travelogue but from the point of view of an native Iranian (the author was born in Iran, but spent a lot of time in the West because his parents were diplomats but travels back and forth between Iran). During the course of the book he basically explains Iranian culture and the Iranian mindset to a Western audience.

Posted by: fameONE Nov 27 2008, 12:12 AM

I know absolutely nothing about Iran, other than they're a perceived threat, so I'll check that out.

The book I'm currently reading explains the differences between Islamic beliefs and fundamentalism. It goes into detail in explaining the motives of extremists and terrorists organization, and what they're trying to achieve politically. He clearly defends his faith and proves how Islam and fundamentalism do not go hand-in-hand. It's very informative and it's allowing me to understand Iraq's culture a hell of a lot better.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Dec 22 2008, 04:27 PM

Oh man, it's SO INTENSE. I love how complex everything is... and all the characters are pretty f*cked up, which makes it that much more lovable. I do tend to quickly skim through the written documents between chapters, though; some of them just look so boring and unimportant. But overall, it's pretty good so far. I'm a little over halfway done.

Posted by: Gigi Apr 22 2009, 11:27 PM

Still reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Almost done though. BRILLIANT.

When I'm done I'm planning to read http://www.amazon.com/Stumbling-Happiness-Daniel-Gilbert/dp/1400042666 by Dan Gilbert, which I'm excited about because I bought the book before watching his TED talk on happiness (which was great), then realized he wrote the book.

After that I'm planning to pick up a few Briane Greene books, probably will start with http://www.amazon.com/Fabric-Cosmos-Space-Texture-Reality/dp/0375727205/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240460803&sr=1-5 or http://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Universe-Superstrings-Dimensions-Ultimate/dp/0393058581/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240460803&sr=1-1, depending on how much of my brain I want to use...

...I have no interest in reading fiction anymore. Except maybe Harry Potter but since that's done with...I don't know when the next time I'll read a novel will be.

EDIT// Oh and I can't forget http://www.amazon.com/God-Delusion-Richard-Dawkins/dp/0618680004 by Richard Dawkins. I've seen it around for years but haven't really picked it up...but will read it this summer.

Posted by: Joanne Apr 23 2009, 01:24 AM

I just borrowed The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde from a friend, so I'll be reading that!



I haven't read a new book on my own in so long.

Posted by: Joanne Apr 29 2009, 12:03 PM

^ Yeah, couldn't get past the 3rd page of Dr Jekll and Mr Hyde. Will try to read it again later.....

I just bought Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility yesterday, so I'm reading that now.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 29 2009, 12:09 PM

i have a problem with interest in fiction too. i like good fiction, i just don't really know how to find good fiction i read The Devil Wears Prada, and it was nice to get away from non fiction but now i'm stuck again.

my problem with non fiction though is that i can't just pick it up and read it anytime. i have a ton and can always find a ton of non fiction books to read. they take me longer though because i usually don't want to sit down and read 100 pages at a time when i'm reading about "heavy" subjects.

the god delusion was pretty good. i have two other dawkins books waiting on my bookshelf for me still.

Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy by Martin Lindstrom

Not loving it, the guy is sort of full of himself and the answers he has for everything is always, "Oh, it's in the brain! *shock horror*" Yeah okay. I kinda knew that after you explained what neuromarketing was for the third time in ten pages. This book could've been summed up in under 50 pages with a short description of neuromarketing and then, just the strange and interesting findings.

I'm gonna finish it but it's definitely not a re-read cus there's nothing in here that someone who's taken introductory Psychology hasn't already learned.
