Right now I'm about halfway through The Descent by Jeff Long. Sort of a horror novel couched in a classic Jules Verne adventure. Great read. Would reccomend it to any fantasy, adventure, horror fiction fan.

Great book. I'm reading that again along with Why We Suck by Dennis Leary (I need to send that back to you Smurf).

Lucifer's Hammer


good stuff. End of days type shit which I love. I'd recommend it, if you're into that type of thing.

Apparently it's racist. Coulda fooled me. I thought it was a book :) Hate crime!

Amazon.com: Lucifer's Hammer (9780449208137): Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle: Books

I dunno about racism, but it's definitely right-wing propaganda. Niven and Pournelle wrote another almost-identical story called "Footfall", the only difference is that instead of a meteor it's an alien invasion.
 
the internal revenue code, the underlying treasury regulations, the committee reports, revenue rulings, revenue procedures, court cases (supreme, tax and 3rd circuit), private letter rulings, my valuation periodicals...oh and, rolling stone and petersen's 4 wheel & off road...i'm quite well-rounded...not :nerd:

That looks interesting. How/why did you find that?

after struggling personally the last few years with anxiety/depression I made it a mission to learn more about meaning, evolutional psychology (why we are the way we are), positive psychology (which isn't just positive affirmations, but a slant on Psychology that emphazies "the good things, e.g. happiness", not just psychosis/disorders that fill the DSM-IV), and personal development in general.

being a novice in the above arenas I try to make selections from authors who dedicated their lives in an academic environment, not someone who just picked up on the latest "buzz words" and are just trying to sell books.

I started with Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" and his concept of logotherapy. I revist that book often.

Nice, that's a favorite of mine. Year zero by him is almost as good.

Just blew through some teenage fluff series, "The Hunger Games," and before you judge me I only read it because my roommate is going to be working on the set of the movie and he told me it's going to be a big deal (a la harry potter), so I was naturally curious. It's by no means a challenging read, but as far as that genre/target audience goes it's not that bad. Certainly better than that twilight garbage.

Hey I'm reading that now too. My son read it and he's been begging me to read it. In fact, he got rid of all the other books on my nightstand and replaced them with The Hunger Games LOL

Haha, nice. It will be an easy read - target audience aside, the story itself is reasonably intriguing - it reminds me of my favorite Stephen King book, "The long walk." There's something that grabs me about a future so bleak that entertainment is found in the death of children (a common theme in both, though the hunger games is far less bleak).

Priceless that your son was so eager for you to read it that he removed all other options haha, so cute
 
Just picked up texts on business law, negotiations, and an original reprint of Galileo's preftigious "Difcourfe on Bodies of Water".

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger by Stephen King

I've always heard this is sort of his masterpiece in size and scope.

The first book has been slow so far, but it is picking up.
 
The Bone Cage by Angie Abdou

It's about two athletes on their way to the Olympics. Really good so far, I'm about half way through.

Have you ever read any Oliver Sacks? I find his writing absolutely fascinating.
The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat and An Anthroplogist on Mars are GREAT reads.

There's a new one out that takes a look at what Elizabeth and Jessica are doing now.
http://www.sweetvalleytenyearslater.com/

I was the hugest fan when I was 12 or 13.
I had a lot of them because I had a job delivering the Pennysaver and every paycheque I bought a new one or two.
I'll probably enjoy the new one too.

lol..I might have to read that for old times sake...life at Sweet Valley High was perfect. I'll puke if 10 years later Liz is in a perfect marriage while Jessica has a hot boyfriend..no one cheats or is an alcoholic...lol no one is disillusioned and everyone is rich. :)
 
LJ smith too. Which means I GEEKED. OUT. When they made a vampire diaries tv show. (and I wanted to punch twilight fans in the baby maker for saying vampire diaries was a twilight ripoff, when it was published fifteen years before twilight. I'm such a loser lolol)
