[quote=Dj Lunchtray;587069] freakonomics was good. celestine prophecy was really good, if yer into that sort of thing. Did anyone read all 3 of that series though? I thought the 2nd and 3rd were weak, I was disappointed. Stranger in a Strange Land, I re-read that every so often just so I don't forget.[/quote]

so what they all about then?

Aldous Huxley- Brave New World.. very real book.. when the book was written in the early 40's, the ideas in place for cloning were all too far fetched.. i tell ya, Huxley must of took a trip into the future, because back then cloning wasn't even much of a thought much less a possibility...

Re: What book are you reading now?

if you really wanna learn about the nature of music, or more to the point the nature IN music. You'll wanna read Victor Wooten's book, "The Music Lesson...A spiritual search for growth through music" Such an amazing book about what you would never learn in a music class and what is so essential to learning about music. This book is for the beginner as well as the seasoned professional.

Enjoy.

to let everyone know more about this book check this out. You can read the introduction and part of the first chapter to wet your senses and help to begin to open them back up.

Re: What book are you reading now?

Wow that must be before he started on the epic fantasy stuff.

I'm reading Charles Stross' Halting State. A near-future novel about a bank heist in a game like WOW. Difficult to read because it's written in 2nd person so it feels like you're in Penthouse Letters without the sex.

Re: What book are you reading now?

Last book i just finished.

'[URL="http://www.moviefone.com/movie/into-the-wild/25144/main"]Into the Wild[/URL]' is based on a true story and the bestselling book by Jon Krakauer. After graduating from Emory University in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandons his possessions, gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life.

I can't say that reading 1984 was real nice, that was a bit of a mind fuck, but it gives you something to think about non the less. I just don't want to think about it too much. ;)
