I have that one, but only briefly flipped through it.
Right now I am reading Land of the Mist one of the further adventures of Professor Challenger & co of A. C. Doyle's Lost World fame. I find my tastes in literature generally lean more toward the classics than toward contemporary novels; although I have read a few of Tom Clancy's techno thrillers such as Red Storm Rising. I actually own a copy of Corel's
WORLD'S GREATEST CLASSIC BOOKS, which gave me many hours of pleasure before I bought a DVD drive.
This CD has tons of literature & even religious & historical documents on it.

At the moment I'm trying to read several books at the same time. It's quite challenging.
Those being (first author; then title):
Those being (first author; then title):
- Marco Bischof; 'Tachyons, orgon energy, scalar waves - fields of subtle matter between myth and science'
- Marco Bischof; 'Biophotons - the light within our cells'
- Japanese for busy people, Pt.1
- Tobin Blake; 'The power of stillness'
- Othmar Keel; 'The history of Jerusalem and the origin of monotheism'
I can't help thinking about Moses opening the Red Sea by sending a tachyon ray 
I try to keep 1 book at a time, or more precisely a series. Right now, I am reading House Atreides from Prelude to Dune, after completing Legends of Dune. That's it for now, but I have the remaining of the Dune books, as well as a dozen of unread Starwars books waiting on the shelves

The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

Most of the reading I've been doing these days is for school, but for recreation I'm reading:
- Starcross by Philip Reeve
- Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
- Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
And bits of an H.P. Lovecraft anthology here and there. Some of the reading for class has been very good too, especially the short story "And of Clay Are We Created" by Isabel Allende. Short, but very powerful and sad.

Is that the Lolita from which the term Lolicon derives?
