I recently finished two books.

Shades of Gray, by Jasper Fforde. Which is a very interesting book, while also being witty and engaging.
And Fevre Dream, by George R.R. Martin. Not as good as A Song of Ice and Fire, but still really good, and easily my favorite vampire book, which I usually don't like. And it has some really good scenes in it.

Books I'm reading, or am about to read.
The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. Suggested to me by a friend.
Moby Dick, by Herman Melville. A book I've wanted to read for a long time, but never got around to it.

Books I intend to read in the near future.
I Shall Wear Midnight, by (Sir) Terry Prachett. Love Terry Prachett, reading this book as soon as it comes out.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson. I've heard good things about this book, and reading through this thread and seeing it mentioned several times made me decide to look into it.
And I'm also thinking about grabbing Catch-22 another book I've been meaning to read for a while.

I also need to go through this thread another time and write down the names of all the interesting books looking books. As there are several.

My most recent books were The Godfather, The Shining, and The Exorcist. Right now I'm going through Night Watch by Stephen King. For those of you that don't know, it's a collection of his short stories. Really good, not too scary but they're awesome stories.

Dawkins - The Blind Watchmaker

Have just started reading. I have read "The God Delusion" and loved.

This book is so good, but I thought it was too long. 480 pages is killer.

Reading Hannah Arendt's "The Human Condition." I may never read anything translated from German/French again.

Too much Ayn Rand in this thread. If you're going to read Anarcho-Capitalist non-sense, at least read the consistent ones like Murray Rothbard and Ludwig Von Mises. Rand's fiction is ok, but her non-fiction books are pretty terrible, and she is certainly a sub-par philosopher.

The latest Chomsky book. I've got a stack of his others to work on after I finish this one.

A dense read, but very interesting stuff.

Finally getting around to reading this classic. Liking it so far, but going to look into something a bit more in-depth once I finish it. If anyone knows a good book on labor history let me know.

Fiction is for the masses. JK I'm slowly working my way through:

This is the best novel about the Pacific Northwest. I've lived here my whole life but Kesey describes the environment in such a vivid way it feels like my eyes are being opened.

my older brother gave me a leatherbound book containing several of Sir Arthur Conan Doyles books about the timeless Holmes.

So far I have gotten to "The Adventure of The Dancing Men.
