Reading Crime and Punishment now for Humanities III. Surprisingly, not difficult and not boring like you might think of 19th century literature. It's got suspense, I'm really liking it.

A Meeting at Corvallis by S. M. Sterling
I would read the first two in the series though before picking this one up. Someone on the board got me started on all of this alternate history stuff. I beleive the board reco was An Island in the Sea of Time or something like that. These three of his are far better than his Nantucket series. |

Many Thanks to the people who have made suggestions on this Thread.
I have read quite of few books based on planet recommendations, here is a short list of the books that I have read this year that I highly recommend: Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson - A masterpiece of Fiction with frighteningly accurate view of the future written in 1992, The Meteverse is here! In Cold Blood - Truman Capote - "The best Documentary account of an American crime ever written" - I couldn't put it down. The Smartest Guys in the room - The amazing rise & Scandalous Fall of Enron - This was a great read, The crap that they were pulling at ENRON was mind-numbingly ridiculous, the most amazing thing was how everybody went along with it because nobody wanted to rock the boat. 102 Minutes - The Untold story of the fight to survive inside the twin towers- Fascinating book, with details of how people survived, and how brave some people were, and what a ridiculous task the Firemen faced that day. Compiled from interviews with survivors, and transcripts of all the radio communication during the rescue effort. Parallel Worlds - Michio Kaku - A tour of the cosmos & the Future of mans place in the universe - Excellent book, and an easier read than Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe. Both are eye opening. The following are now in my Amazon Shopping cart thanks to the planet: A Confederacy of Dunces Band of Brothers American Tabloid |
