I am reading "The Areas of my Expertise" by John Hodgmon. It is basically a book of complete human knowledge. Its pretty cool, because the cover is supposed to have this mettalic silver dragon swooping down to either rescue or eat a beautiful, nearly nude sword maiden as she falls off a cliff. All of this is overseen by the bitter glare of the ever-uncaring Triple Suns.

Okay, I am not really reading it. I am more or less just thinking about how cool the cover is.

Catcher in the Rye was a good book.

I can point to that book and say "That is what changed my literary style of writing in high school". I went from describing something the way a painter who paints landscapes does, to being more illustrative.

The Singularity is Near, by Ray Kurzweil.

It's either the most important book I've ever read, or the damnedest load of crap. I'll get back to you in 20 years with my follow-up review.

I was gonna send a robot back in time, but I got high.

The Map That Changed the World - Simon Winchester
America: The Book
High Hearts - Rita Mae Brown
The Science Fictional Universe
Devils and Demons - Rod Serling
The Cat's Pajamas & Other Stories - James Morrow
The Lost World (3rd time) - Michael Crichton (side note, several months ago I finished Jurassic Park for the 17th time)
Pimp: The Story of My Life - Iceberg Slim
Conquistador - SM Stirling
This Is The Way The World Ends - James Morrow (been reading that for a few years, actually)
Batman: Year One
Son of a Witch - Gregory Maguire
Anansi Boys - Neil Gaiman
Southern Discomfort - Rita Mae Brown
Zodiac - Neal Stephenson (though I keep losing it)
Filth - Grant Morrison (taking me a while since he makes my brain hurt)

And none of this is counting my textbooks. and supplemental reading material for class that I would have read on my own anyway.

I've also been reading The Foundation Trilogy since 1989. I will get halfway through the second book, get distracted by another book, and when I pick Foundation up again, I've forgotten everything so I have to start over. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I'm reading two nonfiction books: Sight Unseen by Budd Hopkins (about UFO invisibility and transgenic humans) and Communion by Whitley Streiber (an autobiographical account of UFO abduction by a famous horror writer). OMG I can feel myslef geting smartar!!!1

But seriously, if you like it when fairly normal-seeming people say completely outlandish shit with a totally straight face (and who doesn't?), you will LOVE these books.

I will rate you hard, and unendingly.

The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou.
One of my favourites:

"I couldn't tell fact from fiction
or if my dream was true,
The only sure prediction
in this whole world was you.
I'd touched your features inchly,
heard love and dared the cost.
The scented spiel reeled me unreal
and found my senses lost."

Hell, how are you ever going to read all 14 (or is it 15?) books in the Foundation series at that pace?

[hr]

Recently finished C.S. Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet trilogy. The first book is wonderful. The second book starts out very well, but the middle part is turgid, and the end is ridiculous. The third book is interesting, but the ending is quite anti-climactic due to an incredibly quick resolution of events.

Currently reading Down Beat: 60 Years of Jazz and Harlan Ellison's Deathbird Stories.

I love the Glass stories. The greatest books in which absolutely nothing ever happens, yet you still can't put them down.

Currently I'm reading DC Showcase Presents The Justice League of America Vol. 1. Great cheesy early 60s comic goodness, although I'd like to throw Snapper Carr down a well.
