I was reading Time Enough For Love by Robert Heinlein, but I got halfway through and needed something a little let tiresome, so now i'm reading the K-PAX trilogy by Gene Brewer.
For a university project, i'm also reading MANY books, one at this moment in time is Kepler's Physical Astronomy. I'm on here as I needed a break from it!

Actually, I just ran across 5 Against 1 so I just read that. Then I am moving on to "Right as Rain." I don't know much about it. My dad liked it and gave me his copy.
I cannot come up with a new sig till I get this egg off my face.

The long-awaited companion piece to Derrick Jensen's immensely popular and highly acclaimed works A Language Older Than Words and The Culture of Make Believe. Accepting the increasingly widespread belief that industrialized culture inevitably erodes the natural world, Endgame sets out to explore how this relationship impels us towards a revolutionary and as-yet undiscovered shift in strategy. Building on a series of simple but increasingly provocative premises, Jensen leaves us hoping for what may be inevitable: a return to agrarian communal life via the disintegration of civilization itself.

Just started the second book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King...I know...I know...I'm a little behind the times but I always wanted to check those out and im finally doing it.
I got on a kick when i was younger and i read a lot of Kerouac books. Big Sir was the next on my list but i never made it to it :(
you should do. it gives you a real sense of what Kerouac was like as a person, since it's pretty much all about self-discovery. He makes a lot of interesting points like the fact that kids everywhere in college thought that Jack Kerouac was some 26 year old zipping all over America having fun and by the time of writing Big Sur, he was a 39 year old alcoholic suffering from depression and bouts of delirium tremens. He seemed to have no illusions about his persona that was created by On the road.
