What are you currently reading?
scarred:
some wiki skimming has led me to believe it started in 1845 with nathaniel hawthorne!
h.g. wells also hit that shit up.
but alternate history as we know it didn't really take off until the late 80s/early 90s, the most notable of which appears to be harry turtledove's worldwar series?
i have no idea and i am past the limit of my caring now. haha
De_El:
yeah see i did the requisite wiki skimming but it did not seem interesting like at all
scarred:
back on topic now
i am halfway through fellowship of the ring! it's going quicker than i remember, but that kinda makes sense seeing as how last time i read it i was 12.
and boy tolkien can't write dialogue for shit!
still enjoying it a lot though.

I just finished Candide, and before that I read River Out of Eden and the God Delusion, all of which were fantastic.
Currently I'm slowly reading Necronomicon by H.P. Lovecraft and wow, that man has one of the densest writing styles I've ever read, I love reading him but it takes a while to finish even just a short story. And I'm also reading Behind the Pink Curtain which is a book all about Japan's Pink Cinema, it's really interesting read even if the subject matter is not for everyone.

So I've put off all my personal books for my summer reading, and it goes like this:
1. Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoevsky
2. Hardball : How Politics Is Played Told By One Who Knows The Game - Chris Mathews
3. The World Is Flat - Thomas L. Friedman
4. Too Close to Call: The Thirty-Six-Day Battle to Decide the 2000 Election - Jeffrey Toobin
5. The Death of Ivan Ilych - Leo Tolstoy
6. Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit - Daniel Quinn
7. An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It - Al Gore
8. The Diversity of Life - Edward O. Wilson
Aside from classics is anyone else stuck with similar mandatory summer readings?
