I find it kind of interesting as well as informative the kinds of books people choose to read...so what was the book/author you just finished and what book/author are you reading now?

I've just finished:

The Fifth Miracle by Paul Davies

and now i'm reading:

Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton

[dlparisi]

Titan Unveiled: Saturn's Mysterious Moon Explored by Ralph Lorenz and Jacqueline Mitton. Interesting stuff.

My friend gave me this and it's really fascinating ...and possibly a marketable sleep aid, so it's taking me a while to get through:

Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky

Recently finished off all of chuck palahnuik's books too - there were a few I hadnt read so I was just catching up.

richard dawkins " the blinde watchmaker" very great
and... sorry glorybound richard dawkins.. "the good delusion" a bit to agressive for me, but some interisting thoughts. But. . heh.. i hope i am wrong...

a bit to agressive for me, but some interisting thoughts.

I couldnt finish this, I cant stand him. It's all well and good writing about skeptisism, but he's always on the attack. It serves no purpose other than to start arguments and make hardcore atheists even more smug, and lord only knows theyre smug enough as it is.

Cubiclegangster. Have you seen Choke yet? I'm probably going to skip the film version; even as a rental.

Hrmm... The last book I finished was The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks. Beyond that I was tracking down papers on phase change materials for use in solar heating.

I'm currently Currently reading The Universe in a single Atom by the Dalai Lama, and The Watchmen graphic novel. The next read will be from the overwhelming pile of paper and digital books; maybe some Hal Clement or Alfred Bester.

[Neilg]

Not yet - I didnt know it was currently available. Probably going to check it out just because I like the book but the trailers didnt get me too excited.

[giraffe]

Haha, that's funny, so is Cubicle Gangster

No heavy tomes for me, last three, a Ludlum Clone "The Bourne Betrayal", a Clancy Splinter Cell clone "Fallout" and Crichtons's "Next". All decent page turners.
