I tend to read several books at the same time. It's a weird habit I picked up a couple years ago (probably around when I started college).

Right now I'm in the middle of:

President Reagan: A Triumph of Imagination by Richard Reeves
Where the Right Went Wrong by Patrick Buchanan
State of Denial by Bob Woodward
Star Wars: Allegiance by Timothy Zahn

Those are just the books I'm reading for fun. There are least three times that number that I have to read for my various classes. :black:

Interesting thread! I am currently reading Elizabeth George's "What Happened Before he Shot Her." It is the latest in the Detective Lynley series. It is an exceptional look into the life of the poor black culture in London.

Neal Boortz's "Somebody's Gotta Say It." I really hope it's a truly libertarian book and not a neo-con in sheep's clothing.

"Timescape" by Gregory Benford. Revolves around the Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory, and how the advanced wave could be used to send messages back in time using a fictional particle called a "tanchyon". I would recommend it to anyone interested in this kind of physics.
