Hey! Glad to see another Stephenson fan, ever since my aunt sent me a copy of SnowCrash I have been hooked on his writting.  In fact, right now I am reading Quicksilver, the first of his Baroque Novels, it is a different style than his normal works, but very interesting read!

Just finished The Count of Monte Cristo.  Awesome!  I felt the ending was a bit rushed though.  I expected some greater repentance for what he did to M. de Villefort.  Now I'm not sure if I want to continue reading An American Tragedy, which I stopped reading about 3 weeks ago since I lost it, or pick up a new book...

Re-reading book 3 in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Simply epic. A must-read series for all fantasy fans.

Sam Harris - The end of faith.  Great read, very interesting and informative.  I also recommend listening to his talks on youtube.


It is really very good. Anything written by any of the Four Horsemen typically is. I particularly enjoyed Dawkins' The God Delusion.
 
Reading (or re-reading, I should say) The Odyssey right now as part of a college course on European Literature through the ages. An absolute classic.

The Art Of Raising a Puppy by The Monks of New Skeet.
I'm liking this book because of the focus and tone. Clearly the writer loves his dogs, and translates this love into no-nonsense "here it is"
reality. I was having some difficulty with my chihuahua pups and picked this book up just before I went crazy. It didn't solve my problem,
but I have a good chance now that know what it actually is. Great book, informative and a fun read too.
