[Stefan-A]

So I set a new personal record on friday. I'm now officially reading six books at the same time.

Nietzsche: On the Genealogy of Morality
Stephen Colbert: I Am America (And So Can You)
Pratchett & Gaiman: Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion
Sam Harris: Letter To A Christian Nation
Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Infidel

Good for you, Stefan. I am currently reading... nothing at all.... my head is 'elsewhere'!

I've been reading the Preston/Childs books... (Relic, Reliquary,Cabinet of Curiosities, Still Life with Crows, Brimstone...) for some reason, their writing totally gets me. Really enjoying them.

Last weekend I ran thru a Matthew Reilly book just because it was there... total crap writing... absolutey annoying and rubbish... and yet I couldn't put it down because the man does know how to keep the action going!! I was so annoyed that I kept reading!!! LOL

I need something new to read
looking for something involving ice, glaciers, other very cold things, and survival against all odds - and it has to have credible depictions of deep psychological processes
but the writing has to be excellent too

Preston and Child have one called Ice Limit, but I've not read it yet... I'll bet it fits the bill tho! I plan to read it when I'm done with this series...

[ssssnakeluvr]

I just finished Nightfall and other stories by Isaac Asimov...and am reading the Mammoth book of New Horror!! love scary stuff!!!

[adamanteus]

Just started re-reading Latifi's 'Snakes of Iran'. I'm taking it to Ireland with me (bedtime reading).

Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion

I find Richard Dawkins too smug and aggressive to cope with. His philosophy seems to be "I'm right, you're wrong, and if you even think about believing in God then you're about as stupid as it gets - but all the same, I'm a cultural Catholic just in case something happens".

I'm just over halfway through Bill Bryson's A Short History Of Nearly Everything (and boy is it hard going - although I will henceforth be invincible in pub quizzes after reading it), and when that doesn't happen to be in the room, I read a page or two of Empress by Shan Sa.

I keep meaning to get around to Elizabeth Gaskell's North And South, because it's a good thing for me to read, but at the moment it's just sitting on my shelf looking at me, and I have quite a few others still to read as well...
