Right now I'm reading a great dialog between the Dalai Lama and Paul Ekman. These two great minds come lovingly together to discuss all human emotions and their Eastern and Western philosophical similarities. To me, the dialog of these two septuagenarians (50 cents please) is truly fascinating, insightful, compassionate, no BS cut through the mud, awesome. Highly recommended! http://www.emotionalawareness.net/ What are you reading? Any genre, any subject. | ||

it was a few months ago, but other than 10 comics a week it was the last 'book' I read. It was written by a goalie friend of mine. From Ashes Rise http://www.amazon.com/Ashes-Rise-Novel-Michigan/dp /1419688316/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264830 044&sr=8-3  It was excellent! I read it in two days, I couldn't put it down. It has made it's way around to 5 family members already. | ||

Signing Their Lives Away It's a great book. It has about a 3-5 page biography on each of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Gives some great insights into what was going on in the years surrounding the American revolution.  | ||

I listen to audio books while riding or driving and while working in my shop. So far I have completed close to 500 books in the past 8 years some as short as 4 hours long and some of them up to 18 hours long. Currently I have 7 books loaded on my MP3 player. | ||

Currently skimming the highlights of this one off and on: Investigative Data Mining ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_m obile/189-7625253-0154009?a=0750676132 Will be re-reading The Nuer Dillemas and parallel to that will be Ethnography Of Reading. Then there's the old classic Bike Tripping by the bedside from several decades ago. I'll probably get out Isaac Walton's The Complete Angler in a month or two. Intermixed with that will find me scowering indeed.com | ||

"Under The Banner of Heaven" Jon Krakauer "Generation Kill" Evan Wright "Packing Inferno" Tyler E Boudreau "Detective" Kathy Burke Although the last three are about Iraq War, Iraq War and NYPD Police... all very interesting reads... the creepiest by far is Krakauers book... "Under The Banner of Heaven"... history of the Mormon Church... LDS and Fundamentalist LDS and the 1984 double murder of an innocent woman and her baby...

Going through a Middle East war background reading phase: T. E. Lawrence: The Seven Pillars of Wisdom Peter Lance: 1000 Years for Revenge If you think the Middle east is a simple problem, solved by "our" versions of warfare - read these two books (authored about 80 years apart) | ||

I'm re-reading S. M. Stirling's "change" series.  "Dies the Fire" is the first in the series. Due to a mysterious instantaneous event, the laws of physics on Earth are changed. Electrical devices no longer work, explosions don't happen, and compressed gases (like air and steam) don't work like they used to. (People in the books jokingly speculate the event was caused by alien space bats.) Civilization collapses almost overnight. The books are about the survivors in this changed world. Stirling is known for his vivid and technically accurate descriptions of battle scenes, which in this case are pretty gruesome with medieval type weaponry. I find the descriptions of how they employ and adapt the technology that still does work very interesting. | ||

Any of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, again & again. My copies are all dog-eared I've read them so many times, they're like old friends & I always find something I missed before when I re-read them. | ||

The recently retired XO of my son's Reserve unit C has a self published book I enjoyed. Don't Clean The Tables With A Floor Mop and other important lessons from the Global War on Terror by: CMDR David R. Wood ISBM 978-1440493980 Kind'a overage, Naval Reserve communications xprt gets put on active duty, trained by the Army & sent to Afghanistan to help train the Afghans. They have been practicing war craft since Alexander & not much we can teach them about that but staying healthy enough to fight is another matter. He went about his duty w/ good humor & professionalism & wrote a pretty book reminding us that wars are not always won @ the point of the spear. Disease has killed more warriors than the bullets ever will. The guy loves motorcycles (Triumph is his mount of choice) & likes motorcyclists. While in the mountains of Afghanistan he managed up occasion to conjure up bikes & bikers (after a fashion anyway). I do not personally know the guy, tho my son liked him & he does not like anybody. | ||

This one is a light read, from a dogs perspective, and yeah it's about cars, but a good read nonetheless http://www.amazon.com/Art-Racing-Rain-Garth-Stein/ dp/0061537934#reader_0061537934 |
