  • Re: What are you currently reading?

    I'm in between books, so I'm currently reading The South Beach Diet. It was just a dollar at the library -- hard cover, like new. I'm not going to follow the plan, but I'll incorporate some ideas into my meals.

      Still waiting for a book to arrive in the mail.

      In the meantime, I'm reading The Celestine Prophecy. What a bore. I can't get through a page without falling asleep. I know it was extremely popular 14 years ago. I hope it picks up.

                Midway through Book 3 of Guy Gavriel Kay's fantasy trilogy The Fionavar Tapestry I put it down to read Deathly Hallows. It was kinda hard to do, too; that's a really good set of books. I keep finding these things published 20 years ago that I never knew about; it's humbling.

                  God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. There are so many areas in which I disagree with the man but can he turn a phrase! Pure cranial porn.

                    Origin of Wealth by Eric Beinhocker.

                    Economics has always been a big interest of mine and this book is the best economics book I have ever read. Something about macro economic theory has always bothered me but was not knowledgeable about the topic to put my finger on it.

                    This book laid to rest a lot of questions in my mind. I'm only 1/3 way through and it has been a very very good read thus far.

                        "Pure cranial porn?!?" I love that phrase! Did you coin that yourself or have you seen it somewhere before? I have called some things "orgasmic" that were not at all related to anything like that, but I think the feeling must have been the same. I think I like your phrase better! LOL!

                          I'm currently reading "1912 Facts About Titanic" by Lee W. Merideth. It's a collection of well-known and not so well-known facts about the RMS Titanic, her ill-fated maiden voyage, and the history of the White Star Line. There is a Titanic exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and being the Titanic enthusiast that I am, I had to pick that up.

                          The next book on my reading list is "Dean and Me" by Jerry Lewis, a biography of Jerry and his years doing comedy with Dean Martin. I've also read "Memories Are Made of This", Deana Martin's biography about her father, and I highly recommend them both.

                              One of these days, I'm going to pick up my copy of "Soul Surfer" by Bethany Hamilton and re-read it. She is one of the gutsiest girls in surfing!

                                I finally got around to picking up Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, by Douglas Adams. I've read the sequel, The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul, already and so I figured it was about time I hunted down the first installment
