What book(s) are you currently reading?

Im now reading rules of attraction.its really good but i like the first book. perfect chemistry. you guys should read it. its an a teenager book. but i dont think it matters cause i read adult books.

Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. I was planning to read one of her more popular novels at first, Emma or Sense and Sensibility, but what struck me about this one was the character of Catherine Morland. She's starry-eyed and dreamy, innocent and intuitive; she likes stories and fables and games, but has hardly the attention and patience to know about what people think really matters. She's seen as dumb by many, intelligent to a few. People feel a need to protect her, though she's much stronger than her countenance implies. She's very much like me.

Damn. You almost make me want to read it. But I just can't quite get over my ingrained habit of falling asleep at about 2 pages into any novel written by Austen. It's a shame, really. She really paved the way for most of the literature that helps me craft and define my reality now.

I'm read Principal Component Analysis, by IT Joliffe: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Principal-Compo ... 475&sr=8-1

Gideon's Sword by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. They have great books.

The Beck Diet Solution

I usually read Stephen King, Ann Rice, and Bentley Little. I am currently reading the above mentioned books. I used to read 2 - 3 books a month long ago. I am trying to get back into it again.

the Schopenhauer Cure- Irvin Yalom
Pschotherapy of the Disorders of the Self- the Masterson Approach- James M. Masterson

I like audio books. They are good to help me sleep. I also have a Kindle.

Currently, I am finishing up a WWII non-fiction book called, 'The Bravest Man'. It is an account of the US submarine comander DIck O'Kane. I like adventure stories and non-fiction. It is a very good read(listen) and is real detailed. I am at the part where the USS Tang, commanded by O'Kane, was firing a torpedo at a Japanese vessel and the torpedo malfunctioned and circled back and sunk their own sub. Most of the guys got trapped inside and couldn't get out, but a few did. A Japanese destroyer picked them up. The rest of the book is about beinf a naval prisoner of war in Honshu but haven't got that far yet.
