Allie_Allie:
I'm currently reading, "Amor En Tiempos de Colera (Love in the Time of Cholera)" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "Rayuela (Hopscotch)" by Julio Cortazar, and "El Hombre Mediocre (The Mediocre Man)" by Jose Ingenieros.
Is it cold in here?:
"Brainstorm: The Flaws in the Science of Sex Differences", Rebecca Jordan-Young.
She takes a keen rigorous look at the literature on sex-related brain development and leaves it in tatters.

I read Pete Townshend's book. Here's what I thought: http://geneticallymodifiedhughes.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/who-is-pete-townshend-anyway/

Reading "Republic of Thieves" right now! A couple of negative early reviews made me very nervous, but I'm more than half-way through the book and still loving it. It is, in several ways, very different from the first two books. I'm kinda digging those differences, even though I loved the others :o I think some reviewers have been put off by the difference in plot and by the Locke-Sabetha story. I see where they're coming from, but I feel like the plot rightly takes a back-seat to the characters and their relationships this time 'round... and I feel Lynch is doing justice to those characters. As before, Lynch's writing is unique, skilful, fluid, unobtrusive in a way different from that of many of my favourite writers. In this book, the writing is more restrained, more focused and freer from flights of fancy.
There is of course still time for last-minute disappointment, but I reckon I'm going to end up enjoying this one more than "Red Seas Under Red Skies".

Smoke and Mirrors by Dan Baum, interesting book about the War on Drugs and how it failed so horribly.
