City of Sacramento Urban Design Guideline and the Central City Parking Master Plan...yawn...

Picked up "Pimp" by Iceberg Slim last night.

Also reading the Tao Te Ching again for class, and Zhuangzi. The Upanishads as well.

^ Some classics.



Very good so far.

Bob Blacks Anarchy after Leftism. So good, so sarcastic.

Road signs and bus schedules.

And as few text books as possible.

Life on the Mississippi - Mark Twain.
Very interesting.

Just finished The Brothers Karamazov. Great story, took me forever to read.
I also recently read No Country for Old Men - Cormac McCarthy. I wasn't a huge fan, I haven't seen the movie, but I could see it being better than the book.

A Good War is Hard to Find- David Griffith. What Uncle Same Really Wants- Noam Chomsky. No need of theology.... only reason - Baron d'Holbach.

The first two are leisure, the last one is for a class. All are interesting. I'm surprised by the reading the rest of you have done lately. The Jew of Malta. I liked that play. I had to read Pimp for an africana studies course.

I'm reading Alice in Wonderland - written in Gregg Shorthand. -- Lewis Carrol



I've been learning Gregg Anniversary Edition, and this classic that was written in shorthand back in 1916 provides one of only literary works that were rewritten in Gregg. All the other shorthand material is business letters and such so its a pleasant change.

PS - Not a fixie yet, but planning to sell my road bike for a khs flite100 in the next month or so.

The trial and death of Socrates, the 4 dialogs

Cormac McCarthy The Road......and I'm not really into his style.

Rereading one of my favorites.

John Perkins: Confessions of an Economic Hitman

Scary stuff...

Oh, that's sad. I love his style. What exactly don't you like about it?

I'm reading a bunch of Jonathan Swift for class. Finished The Bickerstaff Papers, An Argument Against the Abolishing of Christianity, the Battle of the Books, Tale of a Tub and Gulliver's Travels. Moving on to A Modest Proposal.

Also just finishd **** of the Lock by Alexander Pope for that class.

I just read the **** of the Lock and a Modest Proposal for my British Lit class.

i've been rolling through some books lately. the best and one of my new favorite books was Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris.

I've also read:

Open Heart, Clear Mind by Thubten Chodron[/url]

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein

Brave New World by Alduous Huxley

Stiff by Mary Roach

and I'm currently reading:

The Education of Henry Adams by Henry Adams

Buddhism for Beginners by Thubten Chondron

Moby Dick and Already Dead are both amazing books, and both in my top ten of all time.

Nice choices bikekids.

[QUOTE=Aves;6152242]Cormac McCarthy The Road......and I'm not really into his style.

Ah men. He's too self consciously a "good writer" and the story becomes so secondary to his writing that it failed to hold my interest. Not sure if this is typical of his work, but I wouldn't read another one and I tend to like "literary" descriptive writers. There's just something too plodding and heavy going on that is suffocating. But perhaps that's his point.

A plea for people to actually write something about the books they are reading rather than just post a picture of the cover. While I like a good cover to judge a book by as much as the next guy, it would help to know something about the book and whether you liked it or not.
