Currently reading Made To Stick. Its written by 2 professors from Stanford university on how to remove redundancies from your ideas and strip your point to the very core so that it sticks in the minds of those you are trying to convey your point to. Been a great read so far.

Next on the list – What got you here wont get you there by Marshall Goldsmith.

I'm reading Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' and I swear to God this book makes me horny...or something. I dunno, it gets me excited intellectually. I love her ideas, so much about this book speaks/appeals to me right now in my life. This book might be life changing for me...I'll just have to finish it and find out!!

The last book I read was Umberto Eco's 'Baudolino', which I didn't actually finish because it was getting on my nerves after a while. Just a lot of boring *yawn* egotistical hot air.

I also just finished Kafka's 'The Metamorphosis'. Yeah, short story, but w/e. Gonna read some more Kafka.

Got a lot of stuff on my "To Read" list...'cept I keep adding more stuff before I get through the old stuff. So overwhelming! I love books! I love reading (books that aren't related to school/nursing)!!

^^I know what you mean Jenny, I have been reading therapy books for ages, and I am sooo glad that I can read something I like now.


Currently reading.... "Not on Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide In Darfur and Beyond" by John Prendergast and Don Cheadle (aka the "ladies man").

Its a book on the current genocide in Darfur, and the history behind it. Our media is a piece of shit, and rarely covers what goes on there, so I wanted to know more about it. Really interesting, yet absolutely horrifying that shit like this happens.

Reading presently:

A Crown of Swords by George R. R. Marlin

3rd book in the Song of Ice and Fire series. Fantasy.


Next read... I think the 2nd novel in a Dragonlance trilogy.

OR, I want to pick up a book about Nietzsche. Remember flipping through one when I worked at the UW Bookstore back in 03, and all of a sudden, my interest in him has risen again. It's been a while since I read some non-fiction.

Last non-fiction novel I read was Michael Crichton's book "Travels" God was that book insightful into his life, and the way he is. And just hugely fascinating in general.

<3 Michael Crichton. The most amazing novelist, IMO. There is no one's writing style, nor novel concepts (in fiction) that I enjoy reading more.

Travels was an AMAZING book. so much information. it really shows how much time and effort he puts into his books.

im actually reading a book by him called Next. Just started today and im already hooked. I also finally got Congo and want to see how much it differs from the movie.
