I'm currently reading for fun the following: Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman, The Existential Background of Human Dignity by Gabriel Marcel
I recently finished Hart's Hope by Orson Scott Card
I'm looking forward to reading The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever by Stephen Donaldson as well as Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America by Mark Levin (recommended to me my a conservative friend, I'm withholding judgement as yet).
Oh and I'm reading a whole lot of Ludwig Wittgenstein for class.

Oh, and as long as we're on the subject of books, I'm curious who's read Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, as I was intrigued by his concept of overthrowing the Kingdom of Heaven to construct the Republic of Heaven. Other than that, I was curious who else (among the Terry Goodkind readers) sees strong Randian overtones in his work, especially the later ones. I guess it could just be my imagination, but it seems to close to be coincidence.
Nothing more right now, I guess.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman... Copyright 72, and true to the story, Missouri's weather is still shitty. That and there was a mention to 1987 which also happens to be when I was born. I just find it intersting that where I live and when I was born both happen to be mentioned in the book.

I'm reading "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin. Not as good as the last book I read by her (Four Paths to Forgiveness), or at least slower to get in to. But I think it's actually set in the same "galaxy" so that's nifty. heart

I'm reading:
- Ape and Essence by Aldous Huxley (halfway finished)
- Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
- Krondor: Tear of the Gods by Raymond E. Feist (finished)
- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (required reading)
- Winds of Fate by Mercedes Lackey (finished)
- Winds of Change by Mercedes Lackey
- House of Mirth- I forgot the author's name (required reading)
I'm also working on many other books or am going to start books soon. These books consist of a bunch of books by George Orwell, Anne Rice's vampire chronicles, Harry Potter #6 (when it comes out), I hope. I'm also going to read Winds of Fury by Mercedes Lackey. That's it for me, enough to keep me occupied.
2 down, about 10 to go.
