The Cosmic Code by Heinz R. Pagels. It's this weird quantum physics book from the early 80's. Sweet.

I'm reading a manga called "Death Note". It hasn't yet been licensed into English. It's an odd mix between being boring as fuck and interesting as hell.

I'm also reading Ron Chernow's bio of Alexander Hamilton, for whom my son is named, and White Devil: A True Story of War, Savagery, and Vengeance in Colonial America.

I'm reading The Historian also. I bought it for thirty five New Zealand dollars about two hours ago.

I think it looks like it's going to be a lot like Umberto Ecco's novels........Focault's Pendulum(sp)which I read in the nineteen eighties!!!!!


What do you think? (I've only managed about 20 pages.....)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Doctor Who: The Clockwise Man. I like Hunchback, though it's slow paced. Doctor Who is vaguely amusing, but nothing tops a good performance by Tom Baker or Christopher Eccleston!

I'm re-reading "Violin" by Anne Rice. It's sort of strange, but it's fun to read at night with minimal lighting.

The Panda's Thumb by Stephen Jay Gould. I picked it up a couple months ago and then lent it to my dad after reading a few chapters so I just recently snatched it back. Also Angel of Light by Joyce Carol Oates and I sort of started Moby Dick, found it pretty interesting, but put it down for a long time after the first 80 or so pages.

Don't let Ayn Rand brainwash you. She can turn you into a complete asshole if you buy into her propaganda.

I mean the stuff about completely laissez-faire capitalism, not her novels in particular.

I see your point about Ayn Rand's little messages, but her stories are okay.. Plus, most of her books that I read are for class.. So, no harm. hehe.

Yeah. I sort of started reading a collection of her essays on capitalism being the only truly moral economic system. I don't know where I put that...

Currently reading a couple books...Madam Bovary (again), The Portable Beat Reader (I am strangly obsessed with America circa 1950s, and I feel everyone should read, know, grok, Howl: For Carl Solomon by Ginsberg), and I'm reading It by S. King...yet again. Creepy clowns make me shiver and quiver...It feels good to be a little frightened of something fictional, especially when you spend so much time being frightened of reality.
