What Book(s) Are You Reading?

[Space05us]

Right now Im reading The Mosquito War by V.A. MacAlister. It presents a terrorism scenario in which one of our own research scientists releases malaria within the United States. All in an attempt to get the head of the company he works for to increase funding to his studies so he can find a cure for malaria. Im about 1/3 of the way through, good story so far!

Im also reading Edith Applegate's The Anatomy and Physiology Learning System (2nd edition) text book. For medical coding classes I might take in a few months, and its always good to know more about your own body.

I'm reading Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter book), Verification of Sequential and Concurrent Programs (it's actually pornography, but don't tell my boss), Monstrous Regiment (Terry Pratchett book), and Refinement Calculus (check out the centerfold in Appendix B!!!). I'm also waiting for Absolution Gap to hit paperback -- I just finished Redemption Ark.

[Harovan]

Ecos Baudolino, may be for the fourth or fifth time.

[Whaleboy]

Don Quixote for the umpteenth time, "L'Immoraliste" by André Gide (French version), Moby Dick for the second time and various stuff to inspire me for an evil chapter in my novel.

[Adagio]

Currently I'm reading ASP.Net Unleashed from Stephen Walther

[Kuciwalker]

Rise to Rebellion. I'm almost done, then I'm on the the next book.

My mom has a ton of Shaara's books, and I plan to read them as we hit that point in history in my US History course.

[Atahualpa]

Asimov, I Robot

Have just read Search/Quest/.. for Earth (don't know the english title)

Oh yeah and Abraham H. Maslov, Motivationtheory (if I wouldn't constantly leave it at my parents')

[Kontiki]

Just about finished Cities and the Wealth of Nations by Jane Jacobs. She makes some valid arguments, but it's noticibly out of date (written in early-mid '80s) and if you take some of her points out to their logical conclusions, they start to break down.

[Ben Kenobi]

Don Quixote for the umpteenth time

That surprises me. Don't you have sympathy for the man who likes the older world better than the new?

As for me, it's the Brothers Karamazoff, and I have about another 200 pages to finish.

Also, I have a Star Trek DS9 trilogy, that I found very compelling, which I've finished.

[Sava]

what's a "book"?

[MosesPresley]

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny, the second time in about twenty years

and

The Hotel New Hampshire, by John Irving

I have never read this one before. Hotel New Hampshire is well written, but two characters have been scared to death by having heart attacks so far. I don't know if this some kind of intended joke or a hack attack.
If he doesn't resolve it or explain it some how by the end of the story, I will think the latter.

[lord of the mark]

just finished The Thirty Years War by Geoffrey Parker. Its about, um, the Thirty Years War.

[Al B. Sure!]

the Bible

[MosesPresley]

I can't wait for the next installment of The Series of Unfortunate Events to come out: The Grim Grotto. I love this series. I find them very funny and enjoyable.

the Bible

oh yeah. I started that too. Well to be more precise, Rashi's commentary on the Torah. With the interlinear translation by the team that included Harry Orlinsky. Rashi is VERY language focused, and this is helping me with my Hebrew.
