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'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.

Writing about myself in these 15 plus forum posts.
Hoping to be Whitelisted.

Alcoholics Anonymous (aka the AA Big Book)

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.

Just finished "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!". He was an amazing guy.

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.
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.

Simple Church. A book about a church model that uses sermon based small groups to disciple its members, It is really good.

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.

Well I finished both The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and No Country for Old Men so now I think I'm finally going to read Life of Pi.
