I'm actually reading nothing right now. But I have a couple in line to start one or the other.
The curious case of the dog at night
and
Into the wild.

I had to read Into the Wild for my composition class at IU. I liked it so well I tracked down a couple of Krakauer's other books.

I am currently reading I hate you, don't leave me, understanding the borderline personality and Growing Up Firstborn.

Oh cool! Yeah I heard great thing about into the wild so I thought it was about time I picked it up the other week. I didn't realize it was made into a movie too. Have you seen the movie? Does it do the book justice?

THE GENESIS RACE: our extraterrestrial DNA and the True Origins of the Species, by Will Hart, LOST STAR OF MYTH AND TIME by Walter Cruttenden and MEN WHO CAN'T LOVE: How to recognize a commitmentphobic man before he breaks your heart by Steven Carter & Julia Sokol. I alternate between the three. I'm in the middle of all three.

I saw this woman on the noon news yesterday, she hhad a book of stories and personal accounts from mostly women in Rwanda...during the war, who endured the rape and other abuses.
The Man Who Killed Me it is called. sounds really interesting.

She said too the women were very eager to tell thier stories, let others know what they've been through.

One Thousand White Women ---- Based on a proposal that Ulysses Grant and a faction of the Cheyenne Nation actually made to trade 1000 horses for 1000 white women. End the end the proposal never came to fruition.
But the book is a chronicle of what it would have been like for the women if it did. In diary form by one of the women characters.

This "1,000 White Women" -- fascinating. A great idea for a book or for pipe-dream fantasies. I will not have to worry for a great many evenings to come about what to fantasize to on those long spring and early summer evenings when the air is heavily laden with the sweet frangrances of nature's miryads of natural pheromones emitted by both faunal and floral species, in the heat of the hope for imminent passion with their loved ones.

And what a sentence it was, I will also muse myself with in the afterglow.

Two things. I'm rereading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett for the 3rd time. I'm also working through a book containing Spinoza's Political Treatise and Theologoco-Political Treatise. I should be working on Heidegger's Being and Time, but the book is so difficult to understand that I don't actually enjoy reading it. It's just on my list because it's one of the great works. Why, oh why, can't all the good philosophers have spoken English as their native tongue?
