I'm re-reading Irvine Welsh - Porno. It's the sequel to Trainspotting, and I like it a lot better.

Hemingway, the Sun Also Rises, for school (although I'm enjoying it so much it's like I'm reading it for pleasure!). And not for school... nothing at the moment, but normally I have something.

I just got done reading The DaVinci Code, because everyone and their mother (and my mother for that matter) were all telling me how great it was. I thought it was okay at best. It was really predictable. Maybe I was just spoiled because I had read Angels and Demons before it, and the books are designed very similiar. I just didn't think it lived up to all the hype, and I'm no longer really looking forward to the movie.

Next for me. Harry Potter

an end to evil (by some putz)

its about how war should be fought against terrorism
though the author makes some damning good points, war is not peace.

I just finished it, and yeah, I was definitely crying for the last, oh, probably 80 pages or so. So sad but so good.

Right now i'm reading "The Case for Christ" which Taylor recommended awhile back and I just got to reading. I'm 3/4 through and I have to say I think its amazingly good. Its nonfiction but reads like a novel, the author, Lee Strobel is an ex atheist who retraces his steps from Atheism to Faith in this book, where he interviews experts in their own areas of theology and archeology to find out how true the bible really is, and if Jesus Christ did indeed exist.

He asks all the very cynical questions that some Christians would cringe at, yet all of his queries are solved by the Professiors/Doctorates he interviews. After this Spiritual Journey he has become a practising and commited Christian.

Cool Eh?

Heavier then Heaven - Charles Cross

meh, it's intresting so far, b ut not as great as it's been hyped up to be, i think to many over zealous Nirvana fans just shit their pants over it. The strongest point of the whole book is how unbiased he is, which is refreshing, but that's about it, kinda slow.

Scar Tissue - Anthony Kiedis was much better, i'm still not really huge RHCP fan, although i do like a lot of their work, but this book is really realy good even if you've never heard of RHCP. Anthony's life has been truly amazing, and not just the drugs and the music.
