    I'm reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts - I'm only halfway through but I thoroughly recommend it so far!!

    ginsberg's collected poems (1947-1980) just got delivered, i started reading a few last night, you know that feeling where you just don't want to put it down, and every phrase is something mind altering? havn't felt this way about a book in awhile, i'm just sad (sort of) that i'm going away for the weekend and will be leaving it behind :(

    Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin

    Fantastic book! Very well written, and I'm learning a lot. I have even more respect for Lincoln than I did before, and that was a lot.

    The only downside to it is that it weighs a freakin' ton, and with all my surgical scars it's hard to find a comfortable reading position :o

    "Hella" huh? When did you move to Northern Cali?? ;)




    I'm currently reading Night Draws Near (Iraq's People in the Shadow of America's War) by Anthony Shadid. REALLY good read. It's not easy reading, though.

    currently reading The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie...it's the standard for C programming - it might be a bit dull in comparison with other selections on here, but it never hurts to keep sharp as a programmer

    You can borrow it when I'm done. :)

    I think the thing I like best about this book is the author portrays the Iraqis almost like they are real people with real emotions! :rolleyes:

    One of the captions on the back suggests W. and every member of Congress in support of the war read this.

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I read that last year when it came out. If you have any doubt Bonds is on steroids (not that anyone does anymore), this will convince you. Really well done and interesting to see behind the scenes.
