What book are you reading now?

[SASQUATCH]

I am on my 8th book of this year from January up until now of February.
Scientist Confront Creationism (Intelligent Design and Beyond).
Edited by Andrew J. Petto and Laurie R. Godfrey (Copyright 2007)

Almost done with Scientist Confront Creationism and will begin on How the Great Powers Shape the World or Christianity: an Ancient Egyptian Religion by Wednesday or Thursday.


What I am doing this year is to at least read 3 to 4 books a month and when school semester is over I will try 4 to 5 books within a month. I stopped watching Television pretty much all together but only watch my Science and History channels that I feel worth watching.

I am curious to know what books you guys read and would recommend that you feel is worth to read and why.


Thank you

SAS

Alternating between V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and American Gods by Neil Gaiman (fantasy in modern times). Both are very interesting but V for Vendetta gets quite dense at times.

Looks like a couple of interesting books there Sas. I'm currently reading/studying Galations in the Bible. Also reading a parenting book -- Shepherding a Child's heart. And For Women Only (my wife and I are reading that one together) -- sort of a marriage book. :P

[SASQUATCH]

DE - I think it’s great that you and your wife are reading the same book, that way you can discuss it among each other.

So far I have looked up on many of the books you guys have mention and have good taste in what you read.

Cheers

I'm thoroughly engrossed in...

That book...was awesome

Reading "Age of Turbulence" by former Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Alan Greenspan, a great read for anyone interested in what one of the great minds of today thinks about all things economics.

After that I am jumping into the alternate history of the Civil War written by Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen (Grant Comes East, Gettysburg, and Never Call Retreat). They are supposed to be quite good.

BTW, earlier this year I read "The Great Bridge" by David McCullough, a tremendous social historian. I plan on reading his "Johnstown Flood" later this year, it is also supposed to be a complete and compelling work.

Those are my recommendations!
