I really don't think too much in advance about what I'm going to read next. I am pretty impulsive in that area, sometimes reading three or four completely different books at the same time. I am currently reading Victor Stenger's "Fallacy of Fine Tuning - Why the Universe Is Not Designed For Us," Howard Zinn's "The 20th Century," and "Physics For the Rest Of Us" by Roger S. Jones.

Author's I like are Dean Koontz, Steven King, Brian Greene, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Lisa Randall, Shelby Foote, and Bruce Canton among others.

Dean Koontz' version of "Frankenstein" was pretty entertaining.

Looooove David Sedaris.

I'm now reading Game of Thrones.  It's satisfyingly dramatic.

[Buddy]

Reading Kathy Reichs Fatal Voyage. I would sugest her for anyone interested in crime books.

[Willow]

Dangerous Brown Men by Gargi Bhattacharyya because she's speaking at a BME feminism conference I'm attending in March.  I actually need to be reading some belle hooks for this but I'm waiting on the library to get it for me.  (I'm white like my avatar).

Right now I'm about mid-way through Fred Dibnah's Victorian Heroes by David Hall. A fine introduction to the world of the British Victorian engineers who changed the world with their inventions. I hadn't heard of Dibnah till I spent some time in the UK and saw a replay of his final television series, Fred Dibnah's Made in Britain, in which he and his friend Alf drive the steam traction engine he rebuilt around the country to places of interest.

I remember watching a video of Fred climbing a brick chimney. The man had nerves of steel.

LOL I found it on YT

I'm on chapter 2 of The Edge of Physics: A Journey to Earth's Extremes to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe by Anil Ananthaswamy

I'm reading Night by Elie Wiesel. It's a book he wrote about his time in the concentration camps during WWII. It's good, as well as haunting.

Having finished the Void trilogy by Peter F Hamilton I've just started Pandora's Star, another book by him set in the same future milieu, 1,100 pages of space opera!

Pandora's Star

Ooh! Ooh! Not bad at all, that.

I absolutely loved the beginning with the Mars landing! No spoilers please!

Definitely haunting! When I read it, I couldn't put it down or tear my eyes away. It was like watching someone get destroyed, yet somehow find the strength to survive the destruction. Whenever I'm feeling too damned self-indulgent and sorry for myself, I read an account from one of the two world wars (either soldier or civilian survivor, like Wiesel) to give myself a good, much needed knock of reality upside the head.

Great! Now you said "no spoilers"...

OK, I'll admit it. I finally caved in and I'm reading The Hunger Games.

I must say, so far it's more of an interesting concept than I thought it would be! I think I'm probably the last person on the planet to even know what the book was about, though.

I caved about a week ago and read it also. I loved it. 

Haven't read that yet, but I did read the Japanese novel Battle Royale, which some people have accused The Hunger Games of plagiarizing (don't know how true that is, though the story does sound similar). Definitely very interesting, albeit pretty bloody, and I didn't like the author's stereotypical portrayal of one of the students who happened to be gay. There was also a movie, also in Japanese but with subtitles. Don't bother with the sequel, which sucked.

I'm doing a research paper on the topic of atheism, and the pros and cons of it. I can use the internet, but I also need about three books on the subject. I seem to have run into a problem with our school's and public library's database, though. Does anybody know of any book that would help?
