That's in e-Book form waiting for me next

gang leader for a day by sudhir venkatesh

i first heard about it while reading freakonomics, and i can't put it down. 3/4 of the way through and it's pretty damn good.

Яedking · 04-12-2008, 09:19 PM

just picked up

Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market by Eric Schlosser

just started and it's looking promising

snuffleupagus · 04-13-2008, 01:05 PM

Billy Budd by Herman Melville for english class.
The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien again for "pleasure" reading (its not a happy book it's his story of being in the Vietnam war) But he's an amazing writer, and the book is very captivating.

Man in Black · 04-13-2008, 04:14 PM

The Kingdom Of God Is Within You-Leo Tolstoy's non-fiction magnum opus. About 3/4 ways through it. Very well written and thought provoking, one of the best books I've ever read.

Next on the list is Immanuel Kant's Critique Of Pure Reasoning. Been on a non-fiction thing for a while.

Also been reading bits and pieces of On The Duty of Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau. Very good so far.

NorcalCarl · 04-13-2008, 07:32 PM

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie. For English class. So far its interesting. I will be finishing it tonight.

I generally read what I consider fluff books. Random Star Wars Novels. I usually keep that on the down low. I enjoy fantasy novels with made up worlds. My all time favorite series is the Redwall set by Brian Jaquces. I got into those a lot as a kid.
