I just finished The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larrson (RIP).
Getting ready to read the next book in the series. The Girl Who Played With Fire.
I really liked the first book!
Me too. Am I supposed to give a crap about him or something? Hey, douche, get over your goddamn self.Originally Posted by yeszir;575099;
I have been stuck somewhere near the middle of a James Rollins novel for some time. Thinking of going on to something else. Don't know what.
I need to read some Red Sox books this winter. Each winter, I tell myself I will read baseball books to compensate for it being the offseason, but it doesn't seem to work out that way.
Thought it could have been said in a single chapter but Dawkins loves to go on, and on, and on, a deluded 'god' in his own field.Originally Posted by Youk Of The Nation;574209;
Decent recent reads for me
Saturday - Ian McKewan (if you havent read him do if you appreciate good prose)
The Fight - Norman Mailer - (Based around his stay during the rumble in the jungle)
Superfreakonomics - Levit and Dubner (interesting analysis using economics principles looking at things like street prostitution, suicide bombers, global warming etc)
Who delivers ten times out of ten? Thats right baby.
Generally anything by Garth Nix.
The Old Kingdom series is an excellent piece of horror writing and the Keys to the Kingdom (despite the series finisher) is superb
in English, we finished Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
President of the Andrew Bailey will be better than Papelbon club

I actually read this a while back, hoping to get some insight into the mind of a brilliant man. For the world's spokesperson on atheism he knows absolutely nothing on the topic of religion.Originally Posted by JohnShaft;593253;

Jay Z is actually a smart guy, or so they say.
I second this. Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker was really good, well-written, with lots to chew on even if (like me) you don't think impersonal forces can ultimately explain the universe as we know it. There's some stuff in there that will blow your mind, dude.Originally Posted by Palodios;593994;
The God Delusion... not so much. To paraphrase Obi Wan Kenobi, a more wretched hive of straw men and bad-faith arguments you will never read. The guy is totally blinded when it comes to thinking philosophically. It's sad, really. Not that you can't make a case for atheism; of course you can. But Dawkins doesn't.
So, by all means, read Dawkins on science. He's brilliant. But do not make the mistake of thinking that his brilliance in biology automatically means he's brilliant in other domains as well.
As for what I'm reading, well, I'm a seminary student so it's mostly boring theology stuff. No time for pleasure reading these days. [sigh]
