The other day I finished

and I've just started Finding Time Again by Marcel Proust.

The Diary of Anne Frank was probably the most depressing thing I've ever had to endure. Like Schindler's List, I can't say I "enjoyed" it, but I can say that I sustained it and absorbed all it had to offer. To think that this intelligent, gorgeous young girl, died in the most undignified and despicable of ways. When you're reading her funny and endearing stories, her eventual fate is always in the back of your mind, gnawing away.
It's had a very profound effect on me. Many young children I see in public instantly remind me of Anne and the horrors she had to endure.

Hylozoic by Rudy Rucker.

I've enjoyed reading through Rucker's 4-D fictional worlds. So far I've read Postsingular, Spaceland and Hylozoic is just as good. Who says mathematicians lack imagination? Rudy is a mathematician turn novelists who creates characters that are interestingly flawed. In his novels these characters are then given the godlike ability, through scientific discovery, to recreate their world. Of course this results in disasters that are intensely funny but leaves lessons for those of us that argues for unbridled scientific progress.
