Just started reading Ayn Rand and Henry Miller...now there's a hell of a combination!

Which Ayn Rand?

I have finally finished 2666. I have to write my review. I'm going to read fluff next. I deserve fluff. I have Marley & Me in queue.

Atlas Shrugged. I have Fountainhead on order.

I loved Atlas Shrugged. I have never been so pissed off by a book.

About halfway through, right to the point where I am pretty sure I know how it ends. As I said, damn depressing. But don't let me hinder your enjoyment.

Just finished Conn Iggulden's first Julius Ceasar novel. Very good stuff except for one bit of dialogue that came directly out of Dickens.

I'm in several religion / spirituality books mostly buddhist stuff along with Jesus for the Nonreligious by John Shelby Spong. He attempts to strip the nonsense out of the Jesus story to make him relevent to modern people <shrug> we'll see how he does.

Unseen Academicals, a Discworld novel, Terry Pratchett.

Also re-reading Vurt by Jeff Noon: one of my all-time favourite books.

A huge hardcover historical novel about Joan of Arc.

I am only halfway through and the author is hinting at the reasons for putting her to the stake whether it be political or thinking she is a witch who has manipulated the French army or a combination of both.
I am barely entertaining the idea that if she was a man they may not have fried her.

Dipping into The Complete Tales of H.P. Lovecraft because it's seasonally appropriate.

Happy Monkey · 10-19-2009, 10:34 PM

Isaac Asimov, The Complete Stories, Volume 1. I think I'm missing something in "Hostess".

Ghostwalk Odd book. Includes the mysterious deaths surrounding Isaac Newton, 17th century alchemists, modern-day rights-of-animals terrorists, and the life of the 'other' woman.
