  C'est une trilogie très intéressante! Drame policier! D'ailleurs les films Millénium sont sortis! - This is an interresting trilogy! There are two movies available on those books. Check out for Milennium.

It's the story of a man who fakes choking in restaurants so he can get pity money from the people who revive him. He also does this so he can feel like someone in his life can love him, even for a few minutes. I really love this book. :)

I'm in the middle of three books.
#1: The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein - Very interesting. I had forgotten what a good journalist she is. I've only really just started it but she's already developing her point in an absorbing, well constructed manner. More importantly, she seems to care about people. The book is about the way laissez-faire capitalists have used a public's disoriented state to further their own ends after disastrous events.
#2: The Stuff Of Thought by Steven Pinker - Fascinating but hard work. Gets easier the more you get in to it though. It's about the relationship between language and thought.
#3: The Book of Exodus in the Bible - Awesome and terrifying in equal measure.

  @sydtheskeptic: It's mind boggling, crammed with thoughts and stuff and I'm so going to have to read it again before I can begin to grasp it properly. A good example is the opening debate about whether 9/11 was one event (one plot) or two events (two planes, two buildings). It's the 3.5 billion dollar question, insurance wise.

Currently listening to "The Wordy Shipmates" by Sarah Vowell. It's a tongue-in-cheek look at a group of Puritans that came to America in 1630. It's humorous!

Also, thanks to those who gave me book recommendations the other week--I now have a long list of stuff to read and will go to the bookstore soon w/ a couple of carts in tow.

This mission came just too late to list Under the Dome (guess who gave me that one :)) as the book I am reading. I just finished it Saturday night (well, Sunday morning, actually). I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. (not too sure about the end, but overall very powerful to me) So I guess my actual current book is Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War. Which I have been "reading" for a while now. I find it hard to get through. Not sure if it is just something about the book or if my taste in books has changed. This may actually turn out to be the first book in quite some time that I don't finish.

  @merendis: When I read The Fountainhead, it was entertaining on the surface, but it's a completely different book when you start thinking about the thought processes and politics behind the characters. And she saturates her characters with her politics. Not my cup of tea, at least. Not to say that those things don't ring true for others, though.

  @merendis: Hm, I'm not quite sure. I suppose it depends on what you find to be crazy about her. But what makes it excellent to me are the little things about it. Like how no one is allowed to be different, everyone is to be the same. Instead of saying "I" they say "We." And how they have no choice over what they are to become, career-wise (which reminded me of The Giver). I find it to be a very interesting concept.
  
  @rabbitdan: She just has different views that some don't agree with. You know, since being different usually equals to appearing crazy to others. I don't find her to be too mad, her work is quite interesting in my opinion. She is known for developing a philosophy known as Objectivism, and it's quite clear in a couple of her novels. I tend to adapt and fall into an author's thoughts while reading, which may be the cause of my adoration for her. I still have a lot more to read from her to establish a final opinion. I just like to keep an easy-going mindset when diving into a book that was made for thinking.

  @pensandpencilsgalore: a. my question seemed a bit... harsh and aggressive, and I didn't intend it to.
  b. This may be a case of my having read all the wrong things before reading the actual literature. To be clear, I do disagree with her views as I understand them, but that is not the craziness of which I speak. There are instances I've read about that indicate a craziness that is also consistent with her philosophy. I have read about her support of a murder (who murdered a young girl for ransom money), her forcing her followers to smoke because it represented man's dominion over fire (and lung cancer links were communist propaganda), her subjecting followers who questioned her to show trials in front of the group.
  It's these sort of things, and not the philosophy that make me wonder if I'd be able to read it objectively... My knowing that I disagree would make it even more difficult, but I think one day I may just have to suck it up, try to put that aside, and read this, as so many people clearly find it to be good literature.

I find it hard to give a good translation of the title. Any Dutch ppl wanna help? The closest translation would be "They seem to be people as well", but it doesn't cover the real meaning behind it.

It's written by a journalist who lived in the middle east as expat. It's a "behind the scenes" book and he gives many examples how we are manipulated by the media. It is very interesting! Unfortunately, there's no English translation.

I just finished this one. I really had to make myself sit down to read it, because my four-month old won't let me do anything. Once I started it though, I couldn't put it down. It's a good one for those who love historical fiction, or anything to do with old Egypt.
I'm trying to motivate myself to the next new book: Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore.

May Bird and the Ever After. Just finishing up the first part of the book. So far it is kind of cool and spooky. I've already checked out the second and third books in the series. Hope to finish them this week.

Been reading this for a while. It's a bunch of short essays on things like why ketchup has only one major brand and the inventor of the birth control pill. Malcolm's a great writer (and we share some very curly hair).

  Now I'm curious....why has ketchup only one major brand?

  @x-u: it's all about the taste. mustard, for example, has many different types, brands and tastes and people are okay with that, but ketchup (heinz) has the perfect mix of sweet, salt and spices. People (Americans at least) expect their ketchup to taste a certain way and don't like to stray from perfection. There are other brands (like Hunt's), but they don't have that perfect combo of taste. You can read about it online ... http://www.gladwell.com/2004/2004_09_06_a_ketchup.html. The book's essays come from The New Yorker.

  Interesting. I will have to check this one out. Sounds like it'd be a good story for the audiobook format too.

I am on page 18. I think I will like it, but I should sit down to read when I'm not tired.

  @finalarena: I just looked at my email for the first time in a while. I had a message from Kelly asking if I had forwarded it yet. I have not gotten the jacket. I was wondering when it was supposed to be coming. Is there a tracking number or something?

The Tao of Wu by Rza from Wu Tang Clan. It's about life lessons and experiences. He shares poems and his wisdom. Definitely interesting to hear about a diferent perspective of life.

  @rawrrritsjoann: It was pretty good. I didn't finish the book in its entirety though. The author does a really good job at simplifying his mathematics and relating them to his arguments. Even from the start he explains that you shouldn't have to know anything about math to get what he is talking about. Reading it through can be a bit much though. Definitely a lot of info to take in.

Kind of reading 2-3 right now. Last one was Under the Dome (SK), next one will likely be Breathless (DK). This one is one of the 2-3 I'm alternating to/from. Been a fan forever, took as long to find/buy this. 'Bout time.

  So how is it, does it have a lot of interesting/behind the scenes facts, or is it mostly well-known facts? I guess there is no updated edition? Would also be interesting to know more about the present day situation.

Stardust by Neil Gaiman. It's not bad.
I've also just started the first Trinity Blood manga.

A cracking read so far. Can be quite intimidating, being 1200 pages long. Well worth a look though!

Loving every minute of this. Thought the first one (Daemon) was great, and this just follows on, turning the enjoyment up a couple of notches.

One of the best techno adventures\thrillers I've read

  I don't understand mathematics, but I like the concept (yeah, I'm weird) and I take an interest in cryptography. Reading Cryptonomicon was a good experiences. Not too confusing, either.
