What book are you reading?

[Orin]

I think it will be a while before the Chinese book is in English, I don't know if that will be a few months or longer?

Thanks! Let me know what you think about reading through it. I tried to make it fun to read through though I admit much of my tongue in cheek hit the editing floor. A lot of bug books I read require the use of one hand to hold the pages and the other to pull back the eyelids.

So I don't read one book at a time. I read a few at once depending on how I feel unless its a really juicy book, then I usually read it in a day or two. So the currents on my coffee table are:

Speak

Philosophies in Education

I Never Told Anyone

Life of Pi (For the fifth time.... catch something new every time. So great).

Keeping the Praying Mantis

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time (Simple read. So great).

Kira Kira

The Help

I am currently reading The Fall of Rome by Michael Curtis Ford who is also my favorite Author. Writer of the best seller Atilla the Hun

I'm also working on Keeping the Praying Mantis...

Before that, it was Killing Kennedy by—dare I say[type] it—Bill O'Rielly and the guy who really wrote it, Martin Dugard (just kidding ). I found it entertaining but not groundbreaking.

A, Night by Elie Wiesel will move you. My daughter, who is about your age, just finished reading it. I still had/have my copy from grade school.

Giving A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking another go.

"What did Stephen Hawking say when his computer crashed?
Nothing."

"Stephen Hawking went on a date last night.
She left after 15 minutes complaining that she didn't like his tone."

"Stephen Hawking pressed F5 on his keyboard the other day.
He said he felt refreshed."

Sorry about the jokes. Couldn't resist. :lol:

I'm reading The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathon Haidt. I'm being forced to read it for Philosophy class. Some of its insights are fascinating, but its tone is way too preachy for my liking.

I don't mean that in a religious way. I mean that the author spends too much time telling me how to live my life rather than just presenting philosophy and science.
