The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It's a great way to lose weight as it discloses meat packing plant practices around the 1900's.

Nice list

I'm juggling three books right now. I tend to read throughout the day and sometimes swap books around.

"The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" - Thom Hartman

"The Web of Life" (A new Scientific Understanding of Living Systems) - Fritjof Capra

"The Nature of Design" (Ecology, Culture, and Human Intention) - David W. Orr

Impressive! It's hard enough for me to handle just one at a time!

LOL. I'm in school right now and not working so I have plenty of free time. I've always read a lot but now that I am so passionate about learning I cannot get enough, so one book just doesn't hold my attnetion long enough when I keep seeing 5 other books out of the corner of my eye just waiting to be read.

I would guess I've read about 13 books this year. I would go count em to be exact but I just boxed them up yesterday because I'm moving. Not that 12 should be impressive, but I cannot help but wonder about some of my friends who are proud of the fact they have not read a book in over 9 years. Even more sad than that is; they get their main information from TV.

How'd you like that? I have it but never started.

Right now:
"The God Delusion" - Richard Dawkins
"Parallel Worlds" - Michio Kaku
"One Bullet Away" - Nathaniel Fick

About to start:
"Letter to a Christian Nation" - Richard Dawkins
"Starlight Nights" - Leslie Peltier
"The Trouble With Physics" - Lee Smolin
"The Alchemist" - Paulo Coelho

(I'm retired, mostly, with lots of time.)
