I've just started to read
"Why We Suck"
A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid
By DR. Denis Leary.

So far I'm not dissapointed it's pretty funny.
There is a discription of a fire fighter recruit trying to get a 150lb dummy down some stairs that will make you laugh out loud.

Chapter 8 sounds like it will be a good read it's titled
'Nuns, Tits, Booze and my Mom.'
 
World War Z is what I'm reading for fun.

For school... I've got:

World Criminal Justice Systems
Biological Influences on Criminal Behavior
The Psychology of Criminal Conduct
Managing Criminal Justice Organizations
 
Why is God Laughing? Deepak Chopra

And i am also making my way through the Diana Gabaldon Outlander series, yet again. This might be the 6th time, maybe more. Can`t remember.

Couple Agatha Christie books, reread Riot by Shashi Tharoor, and for class I've got my drugs and society textbook I've been making my way through, as well as Scientific American articles for another class.
 
The ingredients of my cereal box.

What?? The year is only five days old.

No, seriously, I'm reading part 2 of Star Trek Destiny.
 
I am currently reading "Nemesis" by Jo Nesbo. It is a crime mystery set in Norway. I actually started it before Xmas but I have been too busy playing with my Wii Fit Plus, to have finished it yet.

After that I am going to read "Three Bgs Full" which is a murder mystery in which an old shepherd is murdered and his flock of sheep, lead by Miss Maple, investigate the crime. This book was recommended to me by someone on this board.
 
A "weird facts" bathroom book my mother-in-law got me for Christmas (in 2008, and I'm just now getting to it), the DS9 hardcover "Unity", and the documentation for my company's new AV/security software.
 
^^ Which is very good from what I've read so far. :cool:

I was a little busy to read much over the Holidays, but so far this year I've read Volume One of Complete Bloom County. Now I might get back to my Mammoth Book Of Wolf Men; or not, as I'm kind of feeling in the mood for some Space Opera.

Thanks. All of those chapters and the six I've read so far have seen some serious tightening and rewriting. I'm so impressed with this book and her characters I can't even tell you. I can only read each chapter as she rewrites them or I'd have devoured the whole book by now :D
 
I finally finished "My Lovely Bones" and am about to finish "A Little Princess". I'm starting with "The Constant Gardener" by John Le Carres soon.

I have a number of John Le Carre books. I've not read them yet but I really need to because I've heard great things about him.
 
bought two books for myselfs this year in hollow-day spirits

Anarchy by John Cage... Hope to finish that .. it is short and quite a fresh taste of AnaRchy if you will.

and reading Calculus of Variations in order to expand the universe further then it was er is well varying the time delay loops always messes with tense and causes tension at the same time .,
 
I'd been putting off reading Dawkin's The God Delusion, which I've now started. I also started a new one last night. I was at used book store yesterday, you know, the semi-organized kind. Here's the "Science" section--50 shelves of books rowed and stacked in no particular order. Anyway, I can aross the title "Heavenly Intrigue" and had a quick peek at the cover. I instantly recognized the small portraits of Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe. I've long known the basic history of the two, Kepler the thinker and Brahe the observationilist, the first using the second's work to prove his model of the solar system. Anyway, the book is about, chiefly, the death of Brahe, and it suggests that he was murdered (testing of Brahe's remains shows he ingested to massive doses of mercury, one about a week and one nine hours before his death), and that all signs of motive, means and opportunity point to Kepler as the killer. Anyway, I'm only a few chapters into it, but so far it's a delightful read. "Silent Spring" and Sagan's "The Varaties of Scientific Experience" are next on the list.

I'm so hoping that Temperance Brennan and Sealy Booth are in this.
 
'Under the Dome' by Stephen King - Grade: B (finished it on New Year's Day)

"Star Wars - Allegiance' by Timothy Zahn - Grade: D

Just started 'Star Trek - Titan: Synthesis' by James Swallow

Next up in the rotation will be 'I, Alex Cross' by James Patterson and 'Churchill' by Paul Johnson, perhaps followed by Kirsten Byers' Voyager Relaunch novels 'Full Circle' and 'Unworthy' which I've had for a while but haven't gotten around to reading yet.
