God Is Not Great
My favorite speaker - Christopher Hitchens. The darker side of religion etc.



Just finished god is not great (literally 25 mins ago). Good book. If you like those type of books, I recommend The End of Faith and the Future of Reason and A Letter to A Christian Nation, both by Sam Harris.

Next books on my list are: Naked Lunch (most shocking book in the English language, a terrifying journey into the depths of the human pscyhe, according to the blurb on the back) and Concrete Island, which is a modern day Robinson Crusoe about a man stuck on a traffic island, by J Ballad the same author as High Rise (great book, if I remember rightly the first sentance is "as i sat on my balcony eating the dog")

Yeah, big fan of Harris too. I read The Moral Landscape this past summer which was pretty good.

The Great Derangement, by Matt Taibbi

He's a rolling stone journalist who goes undercover in two circles: an end-of-days Christian fundamentalist group, and a 9/11 Truth group, and tries to provide insight into why so many Americans are drawn to these ideologies. The book is very wry and clever (as one would expect from a journalist), and does provide a fair amount of insight (more than one would expect from a journalist).

You might find it somewhat offensive if you subscribe to either of said ideologies.

Its a really good book, i think anyone who wants to understand more about the people of Afghanistan/Pakistan in the tribal areas should read this.


This book is amazing. Good choice.

As for my next books to read, i have no idea. so many options i havent read. 1984 maybe? dune? hyperion? Asimov's Foundation? the girl with the dragon tattoo? ian banks culture novels?the belgariad? a fire upon the deep?world war z? day by day armageddon?
interview with the vampire? too many choices and im too indecisive so ill probably read the reviews on each and go from there ;]


I would recommend starting with caves of steel and going from there through the whole series (including the foundation trilogy) in storywise chronological order:

+ Show Spoiler +

Caves of Steel
The Naked Sun
The Robots of Dawn
Robots and Empire

Pebble in the Sky
The Stars, like Dust
The Currents of Space

Prelude to Foundation
Forward the Foundation

Foundation
Foundation and Empire
Second Foundation

Foundation's Edge
Foundation and Earth


I read them in the wrong order first and then re-read them in the correct order and it's interesting to see how every book connects to the previous and following books in some way.


As for me, i'm reading "The Pragmatic Programmer - From Journeyman to Master" and hope to finish it before end of the year, though lately i'm reading too little, usually i read at least a hundred pages a day. Next on the list might be "Design Patterns" from Erich Gamma and others (IIRC).

Until some asshole at my house spilled beer all over it, didn't tell me about it, and therefor allowed a book of 1000 pages to become one solid block of sticky paper.

Until my new copy arrives, I'm reading [image loading]
