Whatever you do, DON'T read A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt if your sides split easily or you hate smiling for hours after reading a passage in a book.

I've just finished reading a book called the Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman which reminded me of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance which I read a few years ago.

Just finished Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, a fascinating novel about cracking the WW2 German Enigma code. Highly recommended. You will become a smarter person if you read it.

Jerry If I could pronounce it I'm sure i would be a smarter person.
Reading Elldest by Christopher Paolino and Baudolino by Umberto Eco. Just finished rereading Stranger in a Strange Land the unedited version. Quite a bit longer and I think better.

EEEEeeeeeek! How does anybody find time to read books?! I buy them but never get around to reading them.

I was in exactly that state until about a year ago. I have discovered how to find time.

A year ago my wife was registered blind (ARMD) and could no longer read for herself so I said I'd read to her. We fixed a time each day for the reading session - at breakfast. We get through 20 to 30 pages a day and so we read about two books a month. I am really enjoying reading books that have lain around the house for years as well as some new ones.

Now all I have to do is to fix another time each day to read to myself and I'll really be able to catch up with the backlog But I'm still buying books, so that is doubtful!

That's great, Andrewson!!

My wife and I also read to each other, and though niether of us are blind, it's a wonderful thing to do together. We're currently reading "Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix" (we've been working our way through all the HP books.) When we're done with all the published books I think we're going to start on Tolkien, starting either with "The Silmarillion" or "The Hobbit".

That IS a good book. I was given that in the early 90's and got alot out of it, swiftly followed by Road Less Travelled, Tao Te Ching-Lau Tzu and Zen and the Art of M.M!

These days it's usually Terry Pratchet and The Phantom.
Currently checking out The Essential Lenny Bruce by John Cohen. What an amazing confronting cheeky bugger he was! And Genius at that.

I'm currently reading The Path of Daggers by Robert Jordan. I'm only part way into it, but it seems a little slower going than the rest of the books in The Wheel of Time series.

I'm polishing off the Clerical Quintet by R.A. Salvatore.

I'd bought the first 2 last season before going up north for deer season, polished them off in a day each while I was up there. Decided to finally get the last 3 this year, so I have the complete set and am now 3/4 of the way through book 5 "Chaos Curse".
