I am reading The 5th Horseman by James Patterson right now. It's a Women's Murder Club novel, and they are very good!

An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore
Dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before
Music is essentially useless, as is life: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions -George Santayana
If we don't believe in free expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all -Noam Chomsky
The only real radicalism in our time will come as it always has, from people who insist on thinking for themselves and who reject party-mindedness

I'm reading Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. I've had the book for a while. The first time I tried to read it I tried to read it as a conventional novel. I didn't get far. I'm reading it randomly now, not worrying about whether it makes sense all the time. I've been told to "surrender myself to the experience" which is what I'm doing. And I like it, too.
I nearly got Lenin.

The Epic of Gilgamesh (author unknown) - this is the first time I've had to read it for a class, it's very different than when I was simply reading it for pleasure.

Right now I'm reading "Catch 22," by Joseph Heller for about the 3rd time. . .

I highly recommend it for anyone who likes a good laugh (that Yossarian is a real trip!).
