what books have you been reading?

<p>I realized that I have been watching too many movies and stupid TV shows. I seriously need to find some books to read to replenish my brain again. So what books have you been reading, that you want to recommend, anything, novels, literature, non-fiction, history, social sciences. sciences, politics....</p>

<p>stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers by mary roach</p>

<p>survival of the sickest [i forgot who that was by]</p>

<p>I'm reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, 28: Stories of AIDS in Africa, The NEW Book of Lists, and Right Address. I don't remember who wrote the other ones.</p>

<p>Kant - Critique of Pure Reason</p>

<p>The divine Comedy(haven't actually read but my lit teacher said it was good)</p>

<p>Grinding it out: Making of McDonalds.
need it for my management classes for McDs</p>

<p>I recently finished One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and I'm currently reading Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Both are very good books. I'd also recommend the Golden Compass if you want something less intellectual but very entertaining. It may be a children's novel, but I love it.</p>

<p>thats going to be a movie, looks good.</p>

<p>I'm anticipating it.</p>

<p>Decoding the Universe by Charles Seife.</p>

<p>I'm finishing Love in the Time of Cholera atm (GG Marquez). I'm going for Notes from Underground by Dostoevsky right after, and then I may go for Brothers Karamazov (I've had a copy of it for months now but it's such a freaking fat book lol)</p>

<p>edit: tennisfan88, if by "thats going to be a movie" you mean 100 years, I /think/ you may be confusing it with Love in the Time of Cholera (which is supposedly coming out in November 2007) :) (Link here: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484740/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484740/&lt;/a> ) Wow I can't wait >_<</p>

<p>Aside from my usual WWII/Hitler/Nazi/Holocaust books, I've also been reading a lot of criminology and true crime books geared towards serial killers lately.</p>

<p>Yeah...I have strange interests :/</p>

<p>Oh, and I'm about to start reading my brother's collection of Chuck Palahniuk books that he keeps telling me are so amazing. They sound like the kinda stuff I usually like reading, so yeah.</p>

<p>Unspeak - Steven Poole</p>

<p>Satanic Verses - Salmaan Rhusdie, interesting book though still trying to figure out why Iran reavowed its fatwah and 2 million dollar bounty on Rhusdie's head.</p>
