[Lozzy_Ozzy]

Re-reading David Gemmells-Legend

 

[thetrooper]

Back on the Ludlum track again: The Prometheus Deception.

 

[nonconformist]

Nineteen Eighty Four-George Orwell.

 

[Babbler]

I have finished Why Societies Need Dissent by Cass R. Sunstein. It is about group dynamics, and how they can mislead and destorys individuals. Explains the Bush Administation -- everybody is like-mind, thus there is little disscussion and distaster is resultant. I moving on to A Matter of Degrees by Gino Segre (it about tempratures) and Turn Right at Orion by Mitichell Begelman (its on astrophysics and cosmology)

 

[Nixnutz]

Churchill's The Grand Alliance

Locke's Two Treatises is probably next.

Just got back from the library, and I picked up two Chesterton compilations: As I Was Saying and The Chesterton Omnibus. I'm also reading The Seven Storey Mountain, by Thomas Merton.

I really need to go to a bookstore and buy some harder-to-find Chesterton books. (The Ball and The Cross, Heretics, The Superstition of Divorce...He's got plenty of books that aren't easily found in libraries.)

Yesterday I started re-reading Quo Vadis. Read it about 10 years ago for the first time.

 

[Mikoyan]

Heder och Samvete by Maria-Pia Boëthius. A book about swedish "neutrality" during WW2 and how we lubed ourselves and bent over for the germans.

 

[Dragonlord]

Just read 'The Fallible Fiend' by L.Sprague de Camp. I found it disappointing, though, in no way as good as some of his other books.. I've always loved his 'The Dragon of the Ishtar Gate', that's recommended for both history and fantasy fans!

Not speaking Swedish but is the title ... Hands Up something??

Nope, roughly translated it reads "Honor and Conscience"... it's a phrase used when swering, sort swearing on all that is holy, etc. I.e. "I swear on [my] honor and conscience that I did not assasinate the Queen."

Thanks superisis

 

[nonconformist]

Brave New World-Aldous Huxley.

 

[Scuffer]

Clinical significance of MSSA and MRSA in UK hospitals and the relevance of povidone-iodine in their control by J. Gordon. Man, it's fun stuff

 

[privatehudson]

It never snows in September, the German account of the battle for Arnhem and Market Garden. Quite interesting to read how they viewed the fighting

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

White Wolf-David Gemmell

 

[Civrules]

Currently the Odyssey.

 

[mrtn]

Michael Moorcock - Count Brass.

Finally the exam period is over and I have a relatively relaxed month ahead of me. Time to make up for the poor rate of 2 books since the start of 2005.

Right now I finished Clarke's The Songs of Distant Earth. Quite a dissapointment. Shallow, short, with too much focus on sex.

Ayn Rand is very often mentioned around here so I decided to eradicate my ignorance, there was no time to read any of her bigger works, so I settled on Anthem. Good ****. Had a nightmare that night.

The Call of Cthulhu - H.P.Lovecraft
