    Reading these two right now.

    Tend to gravitate toward history and instructional books.

    Finished "The Nature of Things" by Lucretius as translated by A.E. Stallings. There were definitely a few times I felt the book could be better appreciated if I had been under the influence of something stronger than bourbon. Maybe some mushrooms.

    Starting "Letters from a Stoic" by Seneca as translated by Robin Campbell.

    Currently reading Geek Love by Katherine Dunn.

    Last week was John Grisham's Boys From Biloxi. Not his best IMO. It was a little long winded compared to his other books I've read.

    I also read The Road by Cormac McCarthy beginng of January and hands down the most depressing book I've read

    I read so many Books every week for the most it does not hurt to read .

    Today I am reading Jasper Fforde The Fourth Bear fits in with Douglas Adams or Maybe Terry Pratchet

    Pure escape from the everyday World which is pretty much the reason I read.

    Picked this up on a whim for a couple bucks at a used book store while on a road trip. Turned out to be pretty engaging; finished it in just a few sittings.

    Finished "Letters from a Stoic" by Seneca. I definitely enjoyed it more than "The Nature of Things" and took a lot more from it.

    I'm going to try and grind through "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman. I'm not big on poetry but I'm trying to diversify my reading. Which oddly enough, Seneca advised against.
