Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think - by George Lakoff

As soon as I'm finished with that, I have Freakanomics by Steven Lewitt and Steven Dubner lined up. And in between these two I have the hundreds of pages of reading to do in Contracts, Torts, Property, and Civil Procedure :D

this is why I was a fine arts major :D :D


Tempting to go back for history though, not enough people know it.. although anthropology would be far more useless, and fit with my degree patterns better that way

That was a very good book with some very interesting ideas, first half was the best bit though

Just finished Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Excellent book Brave New World, another one of those books I've read till the jacket fell apart :D

I've been thinking about Freakanomics, perhaps I should pick it up

That along with Doors of Perception are on the top of my favorite books list.

For work I am reading Intrinsic Motivation and Self-Determination in Human Behavior by Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan

For pleasure, when I have some of that time, I am re-reading one of my favorite books ever; The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

I wouldn't know. Not too big on Nietzsche nor on Zoroastrianism, the book was given to me by a friend.

It's OK but not my favorite.

I love epic fantasy sagas which span many books. A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin is my all time favorite, and I am dying to get my hands the newest installment when it is released.
