Re: What are you reading?
I finished Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner-one of the best books I have ever read. I ordered another Stegner book to see if it is as good. Great tale of the West as well as a statement on relationships.
Now on tap I have Coming into The Country by James McPhee. Another new author for me. I'm going to Alaska this summer and a friend recommended this book. |

Just about through Baudolino by Umberto Eco. Nice story.

Mulamadhyamakakarika by Nagarjuna, translated by Jay Garfield as The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way. Mind-bending stuff, and absolutely brilliant. If you've read Hume, Kant, or Wittgenstein (and liked it) you will dig this classic of Buddhist philosophy.

Re: What are you reading?
I just finished Soviet Tragedy: A History of Socialism in Russia.
It has gotten me thinking quite a bit about power, policy and politics. |

Re: What are you reading?
Thought it was finally time to tackle Confederacy of Dunces after a decade and a half of people telling me how great it is. So far I like it. Very unusual, very funny, very unique.
I don't know about you guys, but do you resist when people tell you you "just gotta read [inset tite]"? I'd like to know yr thoughts. Maybe I'm just a book snob and I want to be the one telling people what they should read? |
