Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them - Al Franken

New Reads:
Girl With A Pearl Earring - Tracy Chevalier
The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd
Life of Pi - Yan Martel

I'm reading "The Ruins" by Scott Smith...picked it up in an airport to read on the plane - it's really pretty bad but I'm almost near the end so might as well finish it.

Also "Democracy Matters" by Cornell West.

Foucault's Pendulum - Umberto Eco (If you've never read it, READ IT NOW.)
Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them - Al Franken

PS - Yes, Foucault's Pendulum is a great book. I found the Al Franken, while certainly entertaining, to be a little TOO one-sided to the left...I mean, the way he basically deifies Bill Clinton diminishes a lot of the credibility of his subsequent arguments.

You should read "The New Rulers of the World" by John Pilger, if you haven't. A very objective, outsider's take on the state of world affairs.

"The deadline" by Tom Demarco.

It's a novel about software project management that is part of our required reading for economic informatics.

I'm reading Relentless Pursuit by Kevin Flynn. He is a federal homicide prosecutor in Washington D.C. and he tells about his job and especially his personal life while bringing justice.
Pretty slow start but gets very interesting as it moves along.

It's an autobiography? Non-fiction?

I'm reading new James May's 20th Century. It's really great. James May is in Top Gear, carprogram. ;D

 

[knightlie]

The Pirate Hunter, the true story of Captain Kidd - a fascinating story. Next in the pile is The Unequalled Self, the biography of Samuel Pepys. At the same time I'll be reading the Death of Superman trilogy of graphic novels.

 

[DocZ06]

Just finished Louder Than Words by Jenny McCarthy. Next up, The Nine by Jeffery Toobin.

1408 - Stephen King
I thought it would be like the movie, but its actually 14 short stories... his books are always entertaining

I read Al Franken for entertainment, not politics. ^_^ He makes some good points, but eh, not exactly "fair and balanced." (Though he only claims to be in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way.)

I have read the Pilger book. It was definitely interesting.

Right now I'm listening to another pseudo-political work: I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert. I <3
