Well, the last novel I read was Mass Effect Retribution, which is a great book IMHO. I'm a big fan of the series and have read all novels and comics of the game. Now I'm waiting for the other chapters of ME: Evolution (way better than Redemption so far).

I helped with some of the translation for it btw

Cool I'll check that out. Have you read The Greatest Battle? Its good. Do it.

Uniforms, Organization & History of the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler - Cook, Bender.

Rereading to get into history mood.

Masters of Contemporary Watchmaking - Clerizo.

If you're into wrist watches, most interesting. Nice coverage of Philippe Dufour.

Heaven and Earth: Global warming, the missing science - Pilmer.

Get your head screwed on right for a proper perspective of this issue. Dense, somewhat disorganized, the writings of an award winning, respected scientist. Not for tree huggers.

Modern Cosmology - Dodelson.

Picked this up last trip to Stanford. A few years old but still relevant, only missing the latest theoretical work (e.g. WMAP constraints). A textbook, expect to exercise your mathematical physics, GR, etc. knowledge. Brush-up on GR, inflation basics are included in the text.

Game Engine Architecture - Gregory.

Just started reading in earnest, after skimming. Bought to add to my 'loaner" shelf for friends that want an overview of things and lack the background or desire for more rigorous coverage. Seems like a "game engines for dummies" style, nothing covered really deeply, but the basic concepts all covered for a good basic understanding.

I'm far from a tree hugger, but Heaven and Earth: Global warming, the missing science is authored by a scientist who is balls deep in the mining industry, and has been shot down almost entirely by a variety of experts in the science community.

Holy double post batman.

Live Free or Die - John Ringo

One Thousand White Woman: The Journals of May Dodd.
Jim Fergus.

I like books.

[AsoBit]

Just finished up Harry Potter. Not really sure how I feel about it. It was good and all, but I feel like watching the movies before the books definitely ruined the experience of reading it.

I quite enjoyed the ending, but didn't quite care for the epilogue.

I'm thinking of re-reading Howl's Moving Castle since I haven't read it since high school. I remember really enjoying it then.

I finished HMS Surprise and am waiting on The Mauritius Command. I've read about 50 pages of Life and Fate so far and it's pretty good.

[Merin Redplate]

My Biology textbook. Feels good.

Just blitzed through "With Custer at the Death" (http://shop.strategyandtacticspress....oductCode=B003) for a little light relief. Short, but an amazingly detailed account of the battle, that I didn't know too much about. Interesting read, if you are interested in the subject!

I finished "Metro 2033", some strong similarities with "I am Legend" - very good book though. Need to wait if/when Metro 2034 is translated.

Reading "The Forever War" now.

Dunno why but I just pick up the books at times, open them at a random page and start reading. Only the poems though.

mmm, Faust is quite tasty.

I'm currently reading this. I just finished reading Dune and Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert. They were both my first Sci-fi books I've ever read. I went out and bought Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune right after finishing Dune Messiah--that's when I picked up the Russian history book and decided to take a small break from the Dune universe. Prior to Dune I read The Yom Kippur War and The Rising Sun--which is tied in my mind with Rising '44 for The Most Depressing Book Ever Award--and on my flight to Los Angeles for New Year's I read A Short Introduction to Hegel.

I'm currently reading; The Shadow of the Winter Palace: Russia's Drift to Revolution, 1825-1917.

Read the excellent short story I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream not too long ago. AM and SHODAN would get along famously.

Just getting started on The Journey to the West. Got through one of the volumes about a decade ago, but I've forgotten everything about it except that it was very entertaining.

Also plan on picking up The Invincible since I'm too easily distracted to read one book at a time.

[RedGuardist]

I have several books unfinished at the moment but now I´m reading

Storm of Steel (In Stahlgewittern) by Ernst Jünger
The Soviet Century by Moshe Lewin
Monsters - History´s most evil men and women by Simon Sebag-Montefiore (Not that impressive for Sebag-Monterfiore´s work, but readable)

[SheepDip]

Finished reading
The Forever War - Joe Haldeman, which was quite remarkable.
Now reading
Cities in flight - James Blish
