Reading a good book right now: A New Earth/Eckhart Tolle

For anyone interested in a semi-practical guide to Zen Buddhism, it's a great read. Apparently it's #2 in a series, with The Power of Now preceeding it. I haven't read that one yet, but it'll probably be next.

Right now I'm reading "The Vick Factor" by Diehard Skinfan.

Phenomenal article about the future of the books from a career publisher. A little long, but you're a group of readers so I'm sure you have the attention span to handle it.

The Long Goodbye? The Book Business and its Woes (http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090608/sifton?rel=emailNation)

Good read. As much as I love emerging technologies, such as a Kindle, or Kindle like tools...nothing compares to curling up with a good book in my opinion.

So right now I'm reading this book, recommended to me by our very own NY_Skinsfan, called Over the Edge of the World: Magellan's Terryfing Circumnavigation of the Globe (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=Wl5QPeWA6A&isbn=0066211735&itm=1)

I'm about 200 pages in and it's great so far. Real-life adventure with a lot of first-person accounts. If you read one book this year about Ferdinand Magellan, make it this one.

So anyway, I thought I'd start this thread to see what other people are reading and maybe get an idea of what I should read next

I'm actually re-reading the book that started this thread

^ SS I finished Columbine, pretty good read it was like 350 pages and seriously he could have done it in 150 maybe 200. At times I felt the dead horse was beaten one two many times.

I just ordered that Columbine book so I'm disappointed to hear that.

Yeah, it is a bit long. I didn't realize it was that long though. Truth is, I listened to the book on my ipod while driving to work (I read two books at a time, one I "read" in the car, and the other I actually read at home). So it was like 10 hours worth, but when you drive 2.5 hours a day lengthy books are great.

It is not that bad. You will still enjoy it.
