Aside from copious amounts of books for school (The Dharma Bums by Kerouac, Teaching a Stone to Talk by Annie Dillard, The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abram, The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday, A collection of poems by Gary Snyder, Nature/Walking by Emerson/Thoreau... All since the beginning of the semester, and for the same class!), I'm currently reading Light Action in the Caribbean by Barry Lopez -- for said class. I recently finished Winter by Rick Bass (nice and light), and half-heartedly began Camus's The Stranger. I only got into one chapter before my course load picked up again. C'est la vie.

Hopefully I'll finish Camus over Thanksgiving break, then I plan on starting Gabriel Garcia Marquez's The General in His Labyrinth after finals.

So many books, so little time!

I've been reading alot of Nelson DeMille lately. Just finished The General's Daughter, but it was my least favorite out of his works that I've read so far.
My favorite from him is The Gold Coast.

Just fininshed The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum. Why? My friend and I trade paperbacks. Every so often we drop off 15-20 books at each others house, and basicly I read though the pile, no matter what is in there.

Found some gems that way (The whole Discworld series) and some clunkers.

Currently reading Trounce by George Beck. The author is cop in the next town over. This is his first book. He was at one of my Rotary Club's meetings to talk about the book, and about illegal immigrants in the area. He was a good speaker, so I bought his book. So far it's pretty good.


Trounce is the story of two very unlikely heroes crossing paths: a handsome Salvadorian illegal who has taken the arduous overland journey into Arizona to save the life of his critically ill mother, and an alluring American woman involved in a plot by Mexican terrorists to cause havoc in the Los Angeles subway system. The two meet by chance on the streets of Phoenix. From that moment on, this thrilling tale tracks their increasingly difficult struggle to understand, and love, each other. Will they survive—or will they be crushed like ants by any one of the lethal opponents ranged against them: a psychopathic killer, the terrorists she has betrayed, and the vast resources of Homeland security out to hunt them down?

I just bought a Kindle and I love it. I have enjoyed reading since my teenage years, so I was worried that I would really miss the feel of an actual book in my hands. But so far so good. I have started loading up my Kindle but the two that I am reading right now are:

Justice: Crime, Trials and Punishment by Dominick Dunne

and the Kids are Alright by Diana Welch.
