Great Controversy (E. G. White) - This is a religious book

Mein Kampf (Adolf Hitler) - What can I say? I'm German and I wanna know what led him to be a crazed maniac. I'm reading this one "auf Deutsch".

2083 (Anders Breivek) - I guess I'm into high profile murderers? This one's in English.

Yeah great read, my second time around on it actually.

I love his style, read most of his work, and love his down to earth view and within his writing a self acceptance of not being an intellectual when clearly he is.

Now I'm halfway through and eager to finish it reading.

Currently reading The Terminal Man, the basis of the movie "The Terminal". It's a true story of a man who spent 15 years living in CDG airport. I'm mainly reading it as part of my research on Kafkaism, and it's very interesting/compelling. Highly recommended.

[standingwave]

A Universe from Nothing (http://books.google.com/books?id=nfGlsiDGbxkC&lpg=PP1&dq=a%20universe%20from%20nothing.&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=a%20universe%20from%20nothing.&f=false) by Lawrence M. Krauss

“A series of brilliant insights and astonishing discoveries have rocked the Universe in recent years, and Lawrence Krauss has been in the thick of it. With his characteristic verve, and using many clever devices, he’s made that remarkable story remarkably accessible. The climax is a bold scientific answer to the great question of existence: Why is there something rather than nothing.” -- Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate and Herman Feshbach professor at MIT, author of The Lightness of Being

“In A Universe from Nothing, Lawrence Krauss has written a thrilling introduction to the current state of cosmology—the branch of science that tells us about the deep past and deeper future of everything. As it turns out, everything has a lot to do with nothing—and nothing to do with God. This is a brilliant and disarming book.” --Sam Harris, author of The Moral Landscape
