I’m currently pawing my way through A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller.

I’ve enjoyed it so far. Indeed, I’m a little giddy with anticipation concerning Brother Francis’ discovery.

Here’s a review

I recently started Wayne Grudem's "Systematic Theology." I'm also (sort of) reading Dante's Paradise...when I have time. This is, of course, pretty typical of my rather narrow set of reading interests which includes religious books, my physics textbooks, and ancient literature. In that order.

-Guns, germs and steel (actually just finished this one)
-The wealth and poverty of nations

Both (on a different level) about how the economic differences between nations came to be. Both very good! Oh, and as a good holiday book I just started 'Ali and Nino'.

Also, I'm in the middle of Catch-22 right now. I never read it, but I'm glad I started! The book is hilarious!:smile:

Just finished The God Delusion. Dawkins comes off bitter, but it is a good book.

Currently reading Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk. Disturbing, but interesting.
