Still,,, seems you go through a lot of books per month. I do too, but most are crime novels by either Patterson or Connelly lately, it seems. Don't know why. I'm also still trying to get through the Koran,, but boy is it slow going.

I've not picked up the Koran in quite awhile, I'll have to dig it up 
most of my older reads are in storage; thnx, good luck.
Only after we have lost everything, are we free to do anything.

I admire your staying power. Much as the religions hold a little fascination for me, I couldn't raise that much enthusiasm.

That's a great book. The movie wasn't done as well IMHO.

The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis
synopsis?
I might benefit from this...
as for me right now:
Statistics by Bluman (arrgghh)
GRE prep books (ditto)
and Spider Dance by Carole Nelson Douglas
-- fascinating for anyone interested in European history, Sherlock Holmes, or feminism across the ages
recently read favorites:
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
-- was not what I expected and an incredibly touching book on so many levels, especially with regard to the concept of manhood
The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
--better written than The Da Vinci Code (though that movie was immediately a favorite)

Just finished up The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown (great book btw). I'm about to start on Physics Of The Impossible by Michio Kaku. I've heard alot of good stuff about it. Anyone else read it yet?
Fear is the dumbest thing that we've ever created in our minds; its just so stupid... it stands in the way of everything and it achieves nothing.

Just finished re-reading "Wuthering Heights"
Tried to read "30 Years of Adventure" about the history of the Dungeons and Dragons game, but it is so badly laid out with its skewed text and background colours that I gave up.

Just read (started last night, finished the last 40 pages this morning) "A Test Of Will" by warren MacDonald. Schmuck goes hiking and gets pinned under a rock for 46 hours and ends up a double amputee. Lots of it was too much like reliving the past. Very good read.

The following is one I could not leave out of my hands, it's for them cold nights in by the fire, find that comfortable spot where you know you will not want to move until every thought is absorbed, the author, informative yet lets so much to the imagination, it's almost as if the characters surround your every being, and yet it is online, free to those who wish to learn....click me

The Life Of Rome’s First Emperor AGUSTUS by Anthony Everitt. I find it amazing how much information we have about this time over 2,000 years ago.
I absolutely love this post. It gives me so much more information and choices than the best seller lists.
