I just finished Allende's Of Love and Shadows for class.... Ughhhh... I did read Siddhartha before that though, which was nice and basically pushed me over the edge into becoming an vagitarianz.

Finished Hemingway's "Over The River And Into The Trees" recently. Eh...
Currently reading "The Jungle" by Sinclair. Not as gross as I anticipated, but it's god-damned depressing.

Re-starting Natsume Soseki's Kokoro after an absence of a few months. Good so far, I'm glad to pick it up again.

I'm about halfway through Demon by John Varley, the third book in the Titan trillogy. It's a pretty damn good series if you like sci-fi.
I just started Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer (who wrote Into Thin Air). It is a juxtaposition of two stories: the formation and evolution of the LDS or Mormon church, and a modern-day double murder committed by fundamentalist Mormons

If you liked Into Thin Air, check out Krakauer's Into the Wild. It's about a totally unprepared college student who just wandered off into the wilds of Alaska. It's a pretty insane story.
If you're into mountaineering literature, check out On the Ridge Between Life and Death: A Climbing Life Reexamined by David Roberts.

A book my folks bought me a while ago - Emancipation Betrayed by Paul Ortiz
I finished The Jungle the other day. I didn't like it too much.

CONAN!
Great book. Classic sword & sorcery. The great thing about Conan is that he's not a heroic shining light. He's a rough character, with honest, selfish intentions. His main concerns are gold, women and battle. A true anti-hero! I love it.
About to start Stephen King's Gunslinger series. Read a bit of it ages ago and have been meaning to re-read for a long time.

that Under the Banner sounds alot like a movie i saw once called "Godmakers." mormons + murder = very interesting.
