Right now I'm reading a biography of Glenn Miller. The guy who wrote it is really, really bland.

Re: What do you read?
I've just read "The hidden Empire" by Kevin J. Anderson, the first part of the "Saga of the Seven Suns". It was just meant to relax, while writing my diploma-thesis (By the way: I'VE FINALLY FINISHED IT!!!), but it's so good that I have to read the remaining 3 books also. I'm just about heading for the library...

Re: What do you read?
Just finnished reading Narnia - All Stories... I didn't like it...somehow it was just WAY too religeous and black and white for my taste... evil is allways evil, good is allways ubergood... especially the last story made me allmost sick... it was just terrible to read with all that serious-faced religeus symbolism...
So, now I think I will read a few Terry Pratchet books to save my sanity ...or at least what's left of it

Re: What do you read?
I'm reading "Going Up the River - Travels in a Prison Nation" by Joseph Hallinan. Very interesting book about the prison system in the U.S. It shows how the system focuses on punitive measures rather than on reform. I had this book for one of my classes, and I have another one about the prison system which might be even better than this one; it's called "Lockdown America - Police and Prisons in the Age of Crisis".

Re: What do you read?
Just finished "Thus spoke Zarathustra" excellent, a narrative philosphical statement, genious!
Will reread "Rayuela" (Hopskotch) by Julio Cortazar, a masterpiece, can't recommend it enough!

Re: What do you read?
Hi everyone.
I read all kind of science fiction books. Like Isaac Asimov.
Now I'm reading Brave New World from Aldous Huxley.

Oh, and for now... I have nearly finnished Janis Joplin - The Scars Of Paradise... it is truely exelent book, giving allmost too good descriptiion on Janises life... though mostly that's 'couse of her own choises... she lived a very sad life, even though she was the first female rock superstar... I recomment this one for everyone, wether or not did you like her music (or did you happen not to even manage to hear it) it really opens one's mond on many things... along with the buble of hippie-generation being generally exelent in all aspects of life... nope... well, just read the book, will you?
