I am currently in the middle of:
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
Neuromancer by William Gibson
I recently finished
Look Out for Space by William F. Nolan
The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester
The Little Ice Age by Brian Fagan (OK I didn't really *finish* this one ... I was reading it for a class and the paper came due and I just wrote the paper based upon the 75% of the book that I'd read and am not planning on picking it up again anytime soon)
Various short stories from collections of Philip K. Dick and Alfred Bester stories

Re: What are you reading?
Thu, June 2, 2005 - 5:15 PMJust started "House of Leaves"
It's supposed to be scary as shit. We'll see.
Also been reading poetry lately, since I haven't had time to read a whole novel. "Howl" by Ginsburg and various Robert Service, mainly.

Sat, October 1, 2005 - 12:27 PMAlmost finished with Gabriel Garcia Marquez "100 Years of Solitude". What a great story. After that will begin "Freakonomics". Before "...Solitude", read "Tuxedo Park" by Jennet Conant, a fascinating biography of Alfred Loomis. -

Re: What are you reading?
Tue, November 21, 2006 - 10:13 AMI am reading "The Beak of Finch" and recently read "Grapes of Wrath." I recommend both and I thought "Living to Tell the Tale" was great.
