Once exams are done, I'll be reading "The Rule Of Four" by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason, because a friend of the family thought I'd like it, and rather than just suggesting it, she sent it to me. So now I feel obligated to read it.

After that, I'll be reading Matt Good's "At Last There Is Nothing Left To Say", as I will (hopefully) be getting it for Christmas.

And then it'll be back to the regular grind of english, history, classics, philosophy and psychology. :\

Other then school related texts.

How To Practice: The Way To A Meaningful Life. - The Dalai Lama

Good read but if you've read more then 2 of his other books it's rather repetive. Not bad, but not enough all that new.

Out of the Slient Planet - C.S Lewis
Blink - Ted Dekker
Searching For God Knows What - Donald Miller

i've been looking for that book since 2 years ago. whenever i go to a bookstore i check for the book and i have failed to find it since. and i live in the same city as him!!!

I always, always see it in Chapters in London. (Bought it for Josh for x-mas last year!)

Best. book. ever.

I found it quite easily at the Chapters in Kelowna.

You can also get it online at amazon.ca or chapters.

Which means you should be able to get chapters to order it in for you, if you'd rather buy it through a store.

if you just want to read it, try the VPL downtown. they have 2 or 3 copies.

if you actually want to BUY it locally, (meaning not-online), pfft. good luck. i recommend rob's way in that case.

yes i know about amazon.. but still

and i hardly go to the VPL in downtown maybe i should

I like this thread cuz I'm looking for a few good reads to take to Florida with me next week. It will be 8 days with my husband, in-laws and 6 year old nephew. I think I will need music and books as my daily escape from family overload.

fear and loathing in los vegas - hunter s. thompson

just finished eragon by christopher paolini. it's ridiculous how similar the story is to lord of the rings, which is kind of frustrating because of it's lack of originality. but the writing style is good all the same. it's a good read

Kinda got into The Age of Spiritual Machines : When Humans exceed human intelligence by Ray Kurzweil like a long time ago.

lol some chapters I could not understand or grasp, it's just so fucked up!

The best part of the book is when Ray talks about virtual reality SEX!! and how you can plug yourself into the virtual world and have complete safe sex with anyone of your dreams. For example, the hot milf nextdoor or your local mailman!

Overall, a very interesting perspective on how machines will oursmart us human. I have no doubt in my mind that the computer will outsmart us naive humans too by'!

Edith Wharton's "The House of Mirth"

It's too beautiful to put down.

today i finished albert camus - the outsider

Ohhhh that book's good Jen. I read The Plague too and really loved that. I should really go and find some more of his stuff.

Citizen Soldiers - Stephen E. Ambrose
