What book(s) are you reading now?

^ Good read, I'm reading Chronicles of TAO The secret life of a Taoist Master by Deng Ming-Dao. So far really good :)
 
Now reading Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I started it a few years ago and for some reason never went the distance. I don't usually read much sci-fi these days, but I'm enjoying it. Keen to read his later stuff.
 
I read a few books at once, when I need to put one down for a while, "I can change the channel" by picking up another one.

Just got done with a few, so here's my current reading list.

Masonic Bible, which I just got

The Secret Teachings Of All Ages- Manly P. Hall

The First Global Revolution- The Club Of Rome

Declassified material on Civil Disturbance Plan: Operation Garden Plot

Politics- Aristotle

And, Isis Unveiled- H. P. Blavatsky

The Handbook For a New Paradigm is always sitting on top of my toilet.
 
On my winter reading list before classes start again:

Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia by Giles Deleuze and Félix Guattari

Biocapital: The Constitution of Postgenomic Life by Kaushik Sunder Rajan

Life As Surplus: Biotechnology and Capitalism in the Neoliberal Era by Melinda Cooper
 
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

I'll be reading Atlas Shrugged next, in preparation for my school's writing contest...
 
just finished Guns, Germs and Steal by Jarrod Diamond. A very cool read on the development of human civilizations. Just started Introduction to Psychoneuroimmunology. Its super interesting so far. Cutting edge stuff for sure.
 
I'm re-reading Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, which is utterly amazing on a number of levels and rivals Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, Danielewski's House of Leaves and Orwell's 1984 as the top fiction of the 20th century. This is the book that conveyed to me just how frakkin' cool math really is....
 
I'm reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's debut novel, This Side of Paradise. I got into Scott from The Great Gatsby (WITHOUT being forced to read it, woooah), so reading his debut novel is a fun experience. You can really see how he grew as a writer.

I'm also reading a collection of Dylan Thomas' poems.
 
'Galapagos' by Kurt Vonnegut - excellent so far. I thought it would dissapoint based on the authors critique of his own work, but I was wrong.
'Adam and Eve' by Ernest Hemmingway
'Children of Dune' Herbert This one's just for good clean fun as well as the fact that after reading the first book I'm addicted to any and everything dune.

On deck:
'Das Kapital: Kritik der politischen Ökonomie' This will be a long one but worthwhile.
 
Just finished The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

At the start it seems a little bit disjointed but quickly gathers momentum and had me spellbound, and quite moved, by the end.
