How to Read Lit Like a Prof is one I've been wanting to get to for a while. My sister pcked it up and said it vastly improved her experience in English classes.

I just started, but I'm impressed by it. He does a great job explaining patterns in literature and helping developing the lit eye. It's not such a drudging read, so if you're interesting on getting more from the books you read, I do recommend it.

Science nerds have to read books to teach them to read books...dang.
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do - Robert A Heinlein

I'm reading Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian but in the midst of that I had to take a break and read Chuck Palahniuk's Diary.

In the midst of finishing Blood Meridian, I also read and finished the Benjamin Alire Saenz novel Names on a Map and started reading The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie.

I admire Sherman Alexie, but aside from some article he wrote, I've not read anything he wrote...saw Smoke Signals though.
/only semi intelligent thing I'll say this week
I'm reading The Restorer, which has been very poignant.

haha, I'm starting to become a big fan of his. I've read a view random short stories, read one of his novels not too long ago, and now I'm really enjoying the collection of short stories that I'm reading now.Chozon1 wrote:I admire Sherman Alexie, but aside from some article he wrote, I've not read anything he wrote...saw Smoke Signals though.

I'm nearly done with The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and I think I'll be moving on to Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men.

Crosswind, by Steve Rzasa.
I pretty much lurve this book. O_O Steve Rzasa is one of my favorite authors, and there's just not a lot wrong with Steampunk western.
I have been inspired to build a steam-powered motorcycle. For awesomeness.
