Our Dumb World, aka the best book ever.

[Allama]

I just started Aerie, the concluding volume in Mercedes Lackey's most recent series.

[Mahasoor]

hahaha mercedes lackey.  Totally my guilty pleasure.

Books I'm reading:

for fun:
rereading gargantua and pantagruel by rabelais
rereading hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
trying to finish I Am America (And So Can You) by Colbert but it's bleh

for class:
History of Anthropological Theory
The Zinacantecos of Mexico: A Modern Maya Way of Life (SO GOOD)

[Allama]

I'm just starting Siddhartha by Herman Hesse and Shadow Puppets by Orson Scott Card.

[Akka-Wakka]

atm, The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum.  I saw The Bourne Identity in a book store and thought I'd give it a read.  I was hocked from the word go.  Defiantly not like the movies, and so worth the read.

[Mahasoor]

Wow Akka, I totally don't agree.  I mean, I agree that they're absolutely not like the films but I did not enjoy the books at all.  Especially toward the end of the series, I just didn't find it plausible.

[Akka-Wakka]

Fair Dos, but for me the books are as much as about the Webb/Bourne conflict in his head as anything else.  Sure maybe they aren't gonna happen in real life, but thats what good fiction is for.

[Mahasoor]

It's been a bit since I've flipped through the books but I was more distracted by what seemed to be needless chaos occurring in the scenes along with the Webb/Bourne conflict in his head.  Seemed to me that Ludlum was having too much fun writing in all sorts of mayhem in the final book that was unnecessary fluff - I found it too distracting from the overall theme of the first book.  I should probably pick up the series again and try to give it a second chance, I may have been too hard on it the first time.

the only thing about the Webb/Bourne conflict by The Bourne Ultimatum was stale

(click to show/hide)

I thought that under the stress the Bourne personality would have come out with out a problem once his family was threatened just like it came out without a problem when Marie was kidnapped in The Bourne Supremacy

For school:

Upton Sinclair's The Jungle-I rather like this one.
James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man-This one...not so much.

For fun:

Rereading Brian Clevinger's Nuklear Age-Still the funniest thing I've ever read...and, at 652 pages, I don't really have time for another book.
