    The Stranger by Albert Camus
    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

    How is that? I bought that but haven't gotten to it yet.

    I just added "Duma Key" by Stephen King to the 2 other books I am reading right now.

    Thought it was overrated, but if you like it try Henri Barbusse: The Inferno (L'Enfer) or Sartre: The Diary Of Antoine Roquentin (Nausea), my favourite take on the outsider theme is Notes From the Underground & The Devils.

    I'm really enjoying that book right now. It's everything you want a book to be: I can't wait to get back to reading it and I don't want it to end.

    "Twilight of the Mammoths Ice Age Extinctions and the Rewilding of America" by Paul S. Martin. He's talking a lot about fossilized ground sloth dung in the part that I am currently reading. :D

  • Invisible Darkness: The Horrifying Case of Paul Bernardo & Karla Homolka.

    A true story that happened in Canada in the 90's. I had no idea that the police dropped the ball on this one so badly until I started this book. The story is sad and horrifying. As bad as he is.... she got away with murder. Karma, Karla. Remember that.

    It's timely that there is a big beef recall today.

    I'm starting the Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams. I decided to just continue with the same subject for a bit.
