Just finished The Sandbox which was stories from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars told by troops over there. Next I will probably finish City of Big Shoulders, a history of Chicago.
I just read Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and American Gods. I swear the latter is slower than Jane Eyre but it gets pretty good. About a former inmate who gets entangled in godly affairs.
Neverwhere is the novelization of a series by the same name written by Gaiman. It's pretty entertaining. A sort of modern day Alice in Wonderland... in London Below.

Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
All in the Forger's wake is left bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the dark Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

Algebra, Geometry and Calculus textbooks. I have to do this because I'm planning on majoring in Pure Mathematics and minoring in Mathematical Physics. Nerd enough?

Mathematics is a penumbra, those who hold such an affection to this noble field would find themselves into the realm of the Heirarchy of Abstracts and Paradoxes.
For my enjoyment: Crime and Punishment - Dostoyevsky
For my education: A packet of notes about Renal Physiology... It's all blood and urine for the next six weeks.

Remember the String of Ears
"to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish."
An economist's perspective on the world. Pretty interesting.. the first chapter is all about blowjobs and looking at them from an economic perspective. No joke.
I think that the only 'real' book I've read recently, as I'm assuming comics, mangas, news stories, etc, don't count...
Don't you dare laugh.
It's time to welcome the other 80% of the color wheel to a Diablo game.

and Londonstani, it was really hyped but overall it was kinda childish. but it was a good change from what i was reading before.
other than that im reading science journals all the fckin time. writing technically completely ruins my creativity.
someone recommend a good book the library might have...my library is pathetic...
