Finished "Wicked" a little while ago. Interesting and well-written, though I felt
frustrated by the author's tendency to introduce an element and then let it
trail away, like he had an idea for the way the plot should go, then changed
his mind but left bits and pieces of scrap still there.

Today I bought The Pilo Family Circus by Will Elliott, it should be a sick book full of crazy carachters between Palahniuk, S. King and Lovecraft...or so they say....we'll see how far I will go with this one :wink:

I'm reading Twilight of the Idols by Friedrich Nietzsche. It's one of my favourite books, I've already read it twice. :wink:

Why Evolution is True (fascinating book, with a lot of interesting "fun facts." I want to read it more than once).

Isn't Friedrich Nietzsche the Nihilist guy?

I'm reading "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. I'm reading it for school, and I'm actually just a few pages away from finishing it. It's about a group of American soldiers in the Vietnam War.

'The Things They Carried' is fantastic. I had to read it for school back in eleventh grade, but I loved Tim O'Brien's use of language. I've not read fiction in quite a while, though; I've focused on nonfiction for the past year, primarily books on rock music or mathematics. Which is so far a good idea, as I've since read stuff I wouldn't have touched back when I read fiction.

Currently going through Douglas Hofstadtler's (weighty) Godel, Escher, Bach. The idea so far seems to be about the need for mathematical formalism in proof-writing, but I'm expecting the author to take the floor from under my feet and reveal that the book is about something completely different at any second.

I'm juggling 4:
The Way I See It - Temple Grandin
Red Earth and Pouring Rain - Vikram Chandra
Right-Brained Children in a Left-Brained World - Jeffrey Freed
2012 The Return of Quetzalcoatl - Daniel Pinchbeck

2012 is getting most of my attention because it's a borrowed book and it's seriously freaky (but interesting)
