an introduction to culturing oysters in virginia
currently reading The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by edward tufte. this book, and it's 2 companions, are must reads for any designer....they have blown me away.
prior to this, i finished Low Life by Luc Sante - it's a non-fictional look at what happened in the bowery and 5 points (NYC) during the 1800's. super cool stuff....
I'm reading:
SUPERMEN
Tales of the posthuman future
It's a collection of short stories and novellas involving...the future. Lot's of good SF, even though I don't usually read that genre. If you see it at the store, pick it up. It's a fun book.
My favorite book, though, is Red Randall at Midway. It's a real oldie from like the 50's. Green worn cover and that good 'old book' fragrance :)
Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche by Haruki Murakami
a
Just finished: Many Lives, Many Masters:)
Just starting: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance :)
i just picked up 'crossroads of twilight'.. book 10 of robert jordan's 'wheel of time' series.. i hope it's as good as the last 9.. ;)
LOTR - Fellowship OTR Never read it! (Books much better :D)
How funny. I just read The Hobbit. Now I has started on The Fellowship Of The Ring. Very nice. Way cooler than the movie and long enough to keep me busy for awhile.
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. It tells the story of how Illuvatar (God) created Middle Earth, Elves, Men, Dwarves, and what happened in the First Age.
The Sum Of All Fears - Tom Clancy
Animal Farm - George Orwell
Hmm, funny. That's what I'm in the process of reading it now.Quote:

YOu also forgot to mention the Ainur, and the Valar (Ainur and Valor are same people/things)
To understand what the heck I'm talking about, read it yourself.
adventures of huck finn :doughnut:
Oooh. I've got an OLD copy of huck finn. Old enough it doesn't even have a copyright date.
Modesitt's Ghost Trilogy. I read Ghosts of the White Nights First as the other two had to be Amazoned and aren't here yet- backlog from christmass no doubt.
Waiting for Legacies go into paperback as 5 or 6 chapters of it where included at the back Ghosts of White Nights- It looks interesting.
I just finished Modesit's Ecolatian Envoy and Enigma... Both are good.
I read Simularion ages ago. Its not very polished. Farmer Giles of Ham much better IMO and much lighter.

Just finished Kaushang Face by John Venables, 7th Scroll by Wilbur Smith, a book on Hitler, and a book on Leonardo di Vinci
