On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman
Its a pretty interesting book, puts forth a lot of theories about why violence rates are rising in America, why violence rates are higher in certain types of communities than others, and how to deal with those problems.
edit: Nodaisho is right, its Grossman, not Grissman
Nodaisho:
I believe you mean Grossman. I'm vaguely familiar with him. I know him for his book where he says that video games are training people to kill.

i'm pretty much feel the same way, except i probably liked it a bit more than you did because i'm extremely easy to please.
i liked how it didn't really follow either school of thought on zombies and used a new, sort of hybrid version that actually makes sense. as in, zombies can be fast if they're fresh but the longer they are moving around for, the weaker and weaker they become because the muscle tissue they are tearing doesn't fill in and grow back. that kind of thing.
but whatever, World War Z was better anyway.
edit:
so as to stay on topic: i am currently reading The Trouble With Physics by Lee Smolin

Dune.
I started it today and am only thirty-some pages into it. I rarely read pure sci-fi but there has been so much hype that I was curious. So far it seems pretty good, though I'm not really far enough into it that I can say I feel one way or another.

I was in our local used book store the other day, and picked up a copy of The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, because it was only 2 bucks hardcover, and was in the poetry section. I really enjoyed it, and have since found out Gibran was a favorite of my father's during his hippy days. When I finish Anna Karenina and the last chapter of Grossman's book I'm thinking about checking out The Madman and maybe some of Gibran's others as well
