What are you reading?

There's lots of better stuff.
 
By whom? I think I'm going to dig into Revelation Space now, the Culture is a bit too lighthearted for me now. Maybe some hard SF will do me good. After that maybe some biopunk.
Try getting Beholder's Eye by Julie Czerneda, I forget what the names of parts 2 and 3 in the trilogy are called…
By Stanislaw Lem, I believe.
You see? Even the ponylover knows what I'm talking about.
 
Recently finished the Wheel of Time (kinda feel like an old friend is gone now :( )

Currently I'm reading the 5th Book of the Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey (Kushiel’s Justice) - thanks to Cutlass for the suggestion.

Keynes's General Theory. About 40% done. It's fun and way dense, and the variables he uses are not the ones macroeconomists today use, making it confusing. He basically had all the answers though, because we're rehashing the exact same conversations.

It's like on the forum, if you see someone prove a point to their debate opponent, and that opponent responds by reiterating his original position (argh! so annoying :p). Keynes proved the point and then today we still have to deal with people reiterating the wrong, older position like he never made the point.

I gotta up my math game and then reread it sometime.
 
Srs reading is Into the American Woods: Negotiators on the Pennsylvania Frontier by James H. Merrell. Getting a start on course books for next year. (Although, this is actually for the second semester, it just happened to be the first to drop through my door and I have no patience.)

Casual reading is Matter by Iain M. Banks, although this is one of those ones where he plays around with chronology and such, so it may turn out to be the more complicated read.
 
2312 - Kim Stanley Robinson
Nickel and Dimed: On (note) getting by in America: Barbara Ehrenreich
The Asia Saga - James Clavell
 
Oh, that reminds me, I just started Tai-Pan. Hope it is as good as Shogun.
 
2312 - Kim Stanley Robinson
Nickel and Dimed: On (note) getting by in America: Barbara Ehrenreich
The Asia Saga - James Clavell

I've read portions of Nickel and Dimed; I'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you're done.

I was planning on picking up 2312. Do tell how it is. I loved his Mars trilogy.
 
My Name is Red - Orhan Pamuk.

Fantastic but soul crushingly sad. :(
 
Nickel and Dimed just further strengthens my convictionn that complete systemic change is the only hope for the working class -- and the rest of the 99.6% of the US and the world.

Sent via mobile; apologies for any mistakes.
 
Finished Revelation Space last night. Thoroughly satisfying in the vein of those old books I've read before I've been spoiled by tropes and everything.
 
Takhisis shall start reading through a handful of the works of Aristophanes tomorrow. Does anybody have any suggestions on where to start?
 
Alexander Hamilton, by Rob Chernow. The Hamilton book is part of this year's Fourth of July reading, but it's 800 pages so I started early. It was reccommended to balance the anti-Hamiltonian views I get in reading about Adams and Jefferson, since the author is quite enamored of Hamilton.


I've picked this up from the library now. But not sure if I have the time or the attention at the moment for something quite so big.
