It's been a long time since anyone posted here.  In the past few weeks I've read The Blind Watchmaker by Dawkins.  I'm currently reading a collection of essays about the New Left by Rand.

What books have you read recently and what are you reading currently?

The Ender series was very interesting.  Mind-blowing concepts in those books.

Reading "Angels and Demons" currently.  I just got done with "The DaVinci Code".  I didn't realize I was reading them out of order :-/

I just finished reading a book by Aryn Rand. I can't remember the name of it atm. Its about a man in a society where they are all numbers with no names. Writing is forbidden except by the House of Scholars. Real crazy shit like that.

Real crazy shit like that.

So the standard dystopian future envisaged during the cold war (echoing American fears of socialism in relation to communism). Was the book by any chance Anthem?

I'm currently not reading. It makes me sad, but I have my tea to make up for it.

I should go downstairs and pick up one of the many books on our shelves that I keep looking at and thinking "I haven't read that in a while, I should pick that up and read it". In fact, I'll just go do that now.

I am now reading The Jungle Book.

Still reading the Complete Guitar Handbook.  Also reading The Everything Rock and Blues Guitar Book by Marc Schonbrun and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Sam Clemens.  My wife Jade is currently reading Mariel of Redwall by Brian Jacques.

The Ender series was very interesting.  Mind-blowing concepts in those books.

I had a friend explain the plot of the book, and it appears to be amazing.  How fast did you guys read it?  It's a good-sized book.

The Redwall series is great.  Mariel of Redwall is one of the best.  It's cool that you are talented at guitar.

I think the last book I read was Sex At Dawn. It's about how Homo sapien's views towards sex have evolved over the course of history.

After I finished Sex at Dawn, I started The Art of Choosing, which talks about humans and decision making. I haven't managed to finish this one yet.

On the fiction side, last year I reread Timeline. I got a couple of chapters into Rising Sun and haven't picked it up since. I probably should ...

It probably took me a week or so to read Ender's Game.  I read it for a summer reading requirement and had plenty of time to devote to it so I got done fairly quickly.  The other books took me a bit longer.  Another series that I started but never finished was the Homecoming series.  It is by the same author, Orson Scott Card, and is set on a planet that is controlled by a computer that the last survivors of the ruined Earth set up in order to help the people live peacefully.  The computer is losing control and "recruits" a select few to help it fix itself.  Interesting series.

Sounds like a cool series, I'll see if I can find it at my local library.

The last two books I read were Devil in the White City (about the building of the Chicago Worlds Fair and Americas first serial killer) and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay (about two comic book writers during ww2, so amazing).  Now Im reading book 6 in the Wheel of Time series but I'm having trouble getting through it, want to start Enders Game next.

PS. Just noticed the forums, so for those of you i havent met in IRC, nice to meet you all!
