10.The light of other days - Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter
wow this last one had been on my "To read" list for over a year. And it's well worth the read. Although it is a science fiction book, it fits nicely in a modern context and addresses some very current topics such as personal privacy in a world full of CCTVs... Ok it's still a great science fiction book. I htink I have one more Arthur C Clarke and Baxter book to read, the third and final of the Time Odyssey series that comes out Thursday. Tonight I start the Selfish Gene.

After a mini-hiatus from reading...
13. The Life of Pi (Yann Martel)
I liked it, even though there were strong religious undertones. My Mom suggested it to me, and I'm thinking she wanted it to convert me. It was a fictional book, sort of. Great writing, exactly how I felt that Night (by Elie Wiesel) should have been, a ridiculous amount of detail. Martel knows what he's doing.

1. Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, Hunter S. Thompson
2. Caro Michele, Natalia Ginzburg
3. Covering Islam, Edward W. Said
4. All-American Yemeni Girls, Loukia K. Sarroub
5. Songs of the Doomed, Hunter S. Thompson
6. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenace, Robert Pirsig
7. A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking
8. Nickel and Dimed, Barbara Ehrenreich, 230 pg.
9. Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert, 334 pg.
10. Sophie's World, Jostein Gaarder, 513 pg.
Finally finished a book that took three tries to read. Originally started reading it back in high school for the International Baccalaureate program. I enjoyed the material, but the author's writing style didn't appeal to me. That's why it took a few tries to read. It is a book that attempts to make philosophy easy for young people to understand, with a pretty decent history of philosophy twisted with some plot. But I'm glad I finished it, because now I can read some things that I was halfway through with back at university.

Just another book my mom let me borrow. I liked the writing style, and the author's experience with drugs was interesting to me. The book was essentially about her path to God. It was a really quick read and I really just wanted something I could speed-read because I've gotten behind schedule.

1) Merlin, by Stephen Lawhead ~500 pages
2) Arthur, by Stephen Lawhead ~500 pages

5) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson ~100 pages
6) The Name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco ~500 pages
7) Digital Fortress, by Dan Brown ~400 pages
I started reading Foucault's Pendulum, by Umberto Eco, but it was too intense for my lunch breaks with lots of loud people -- I wanna go back to it though. And I'm reading Byzantium, by Stephen Lawhead. He's definitely my favourite author so far.

14. On The Road Jack Kerouac 281 pg.
Awesome. Highly rated. It seems very timeless. Even though it's set in the 1940s, I found it very easy to relate to. Especially the crazy stuff that's been going on in my life lately. I want to read stuff by Cassady now although I have so much stuff to read. Also I realise we're now at the halfway point in the year and I'm 9 books off target. Luckily I have the next few days off work so I'm going to smash reading. It's back to non-fiction for the next 3 though. After that I'm not sure.

Nice Jeremy - I've always wanted to give that a read. I think I'll check and see if my local library has a copy.
1. Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, Hunter S. Thompson
2. Caro Michele, Natalia Ginzburg
3. Covering Islam, Edward W. Said
4. All-American Yemeni Girls, Loukia K. Sarroub
5. Songs of the Doomed, Hunter S. Thompson
6. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenace, Robert Pirsig

9. Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert, 334 pg.
10. Sophie's World, Jostein Gaarder, 513 pg.
11. Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith, Annie Lamott, 272 pg.
12. Meditation for Dummies, Stephan Bodian, 348 pg.
Another book for my spiritual journey, flush with meditation techniques, stretches, sage wisdom and an overall energetic tone. Am currently reading Lama Surya Das' "Awakening the Buddha Within" and hope to finish that soon. Like Jeremy, I'm a bit off of where I'd like to be with my reading. Hopefully I can finish up the books I've checked out from the library soon and then move on to some other stuff I've been yearning to read.

At the start of the year I was aiming for 52 in the year, and after a strong start I'm slipping away.
1) The Catcher In The Rye- JD Salinger
2) Mao’s Last Dancer- Li Cunxin
3) A Man’s Got To Have A Hobby- William McInnes
4) Crime and Punishment- Fyodor Dostoevsky
5) The Perfection of Yoga- AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Pabhupada
6) Animal Farm- George Orwell
7) Bad Luck and Trouble- Lee Child
The Art of Happiness- The Dalai Lama and Howard C Cutler
9) To Kill A God- Paul Rodgers
10) Petria Thomas: Swimming Against The Tide- Andy Shea
11) The Warwick Todd Diaries- Tom Gleisner
12) Another Day of Life- Ryszard Kapuscinski
13) Foreign Bodies- Amanda Craig
14) Heavier Than Heaven (Kurt Cobain Bio)- Charles R Cross
15) Memories of My Melancholy Whores- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
These all vary from classic novels to biographies of sportspeople and musicians and a couple of random books that were given to me or I picked up for a real low price.
I'm currently reading Don Quixote by Cervantes. I have been struggling through it for a long time now, I have reached the halfway point, and it's probably one of the main reasons I started slipping on my target.
I haven't been keeping track of the pages, but I think I will do that and add them all up, see how I'm going.

12. Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card, 461pgs
13. Kiss The Girls, James Patterson, 399pgs
14. Needful Things, Stephen King, 672pgs
I finished it few days ago. I realized it's the only book I read in June. That kinda sucks! The problem was I hadn't had time to read. Final exams and work are bad for reading books.
The book was pretty good. It was about what people can do for things they need (or they think they need). I didn't like the ending at all but I often don't like Stephen King's books' endings. All before the ending is usually perfect, though
.
I wonder if any of us will make 40!

Finally finished a book! Problem is that I have checked out so many from the library and am trying to read them all at the same time. Hopefully since I have the next two days off from work I can read some more and maybe finish another one this weekend. This book was very good - I collected some good mantras and advice. It was a little too buddhist for me though - I went into it only wanting to read about meditation practices. However, the first two thirds of the book, which weren't about meditation, were the most fascinating for me. The last third focused on meditation and was not as good as I had originally hoped.

What a great book! It was an adventure/historical book written by an author of bestseller thrillers. It's pretty cool that he is able to write not only one type of books.
Plus, the title is so Footbagish

Apparently the most influential civil rights novel... Very confusing. I'm pretty sure I missed some of the main themes of the book. I'll probably re read it in a few years when I can actually understand it.

12. Meditation for Dummies, Stephan Bodian, 348 pg.
13. Eight Steps to Enlightenment: Awakening the Buddha Within, Lama Surya Das, 395 pg.
14. Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy, Robert Anton Wilson, 545 pg.
Awesome book. Technically it is a collection of three books I guess. It's a followup to Wilson's Illuminatus! Trilogy which I *highly* recommend and is often described as a fairy tale for paranoids. The Illuminatus! Trilogy is a bit longer and co-authored with Robert Shea. Anyways, Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy was a pretty good book and is pretty funny. However, having read Illuminatus! first I'd say I like that one first. Next on my list for Wilson is his Cosmic Trigger series, but so far I only have the last book. I'm gonna have to get my hands on the first two parts. I've heard good things about that.
As far as my other reading goes, I'm working on Yoga for Dummies and Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind, which is the first book in the Sword of Truth series. It was suggested and leant to me by a co-worker. I am also hoping to begin another meditation book as I am getting a lot out of the ones I have read so far. Just gotta keep on readin'.
