Right now im reading "Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA" by Tim Weiner. It's a great book if your interested in reading about the complete history of the CIA, their missions, and their utter incompetence.

Also recommended:
"Parallel Worlds" by Michio Kaku, "1984" by George Orwell, "The Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine, "Fingerprints of the Gods" by Graham Hancock, "The Cosmic Trigger" by Robert Anton Wilson, "Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life" by John Lee Anderson, "I am a Strange Loop" by Douglas Hofstadter, "Undiscovered Self" by Carl Jung, "Sirius Mystery" by Robert Temple, "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx, "The Second World" by Parag Khanna, "Supernatural" by Graham Hancock, "Dinner with a Cannibal" by Carole Travis-Henikoff.

I love Graham Hancock. He needs to stop drinking his vine juice for a little while though. Supernatural was good but it was really out there.

Eh... I haven't been reading that much lately. The last novel I read was "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton. Right now I'm going over Gutherie Govan's "Advanced Guitar Theory", Aristotle's theories on the state and political thought, Barron's guide to "Market Securities", and Chilton manuals to save money on my van's upkeep.

I've a few books that I've put off for a while. I'm planning on re-reading "Sister Carrie" by Dreiser, "Don Quixote" by Cervantes, "Breath of the Dragon" by Ragnor Benson, and "The Oil Card" by James Norman. For something new I was thinking, "Contigency Cannibalism" by Shiguro Takada and reading some of Giap's doctrine on warfare.

Band of Brothers/Ambrose -- excellent book for WWII junkies/history buffs. It's basically a documentary, compiled from several sources, but it reads like a novel. Great work by Ambrose to achieve this.

Touching the Void/Simpson -- first hand account of probably the most courageous and harrowing mountaineering self-rescue ever performed.

Not much of a reader but right now I'm reading Too Fat to Fish, aka Artie Lange's autobiography. It's a good read, I'm a pretty big fan of his and it's nice to read things from his perspective.

One hell of a bump(the thread).

I just finished reading this book called "Out" by Natsuo Kirino. Pretty crazy book but good.
