I'm giving War and Peace a try again. Last time I tried reading it I was in the midst of getting an English degree. To put it plainly, waaay too much reading to attempt a pleasure read of W&P.
Just started East of Eden - John Steinbeck
Read in last few months: The Oddysey and the Iliad - Homer (Fagles translation), The Inferno of Dante (Robert Pinsky translation), Demons - Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Sickness Unto Death - Soren Kierkegaard. All excellent and highly recommended.
John R Pierce, An Introduction to Information Theory (1961).
A classic. Bell labs boss, CalTech prof, JPL director, and Stanford music prof (!) John Pierce... remember audiophiles, if this guy hadn't enabled Max Mathews to run his software, we'd have no synthesizers now, or at the very least a different soundscape...
