Meh, rereading the Harry Potter books, to see any clues to the 7th book that I didn't notice. Also reading "Franklin's Tale" (Chaucer) for Eng Lit.

Quite good. I read his Understanding Power last month...Quite the eye opener.

Hell yeah. I like most of his characters but I definitely love the Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino team the best. So glad he's returned back to them in this book.:)

I've just finished rereading the first two Maximum Ride books.
Very good series.

Try the Millers Tale! (amusingly rude!).

I'm feeling poorly :-( so going for some light Anne McCaffrey Pern series stuff (loving those dragons).

Just read 'The Testament of Gideon Mack' - recommend it highly.

Currently working on Sources of Power: How People Make Decisions by Gary Klein. Excellent book.

Just finished The Rainbow Machine: Tales from a Neurolinguist's Journal by Andrew Austin. An even more excellent book.

I have a book on Python waiting for me, too.
