What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I finished A Shadow of Freedom by Tricia Goyer, excellent book as hers always are. I am starting the third, and sadly final book of the series: A Whisper of Freedom.

Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain--which is interesting.
And Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach for school--which is quite weird. Definitely not from a Christian worldview!

Let Justice Roll Down by John Perkins - really good so far.
Hamlet by Shakespeare - boring in the beginning, but Shakespeare is usualy interesting.

There is a God by Antony Flew.

Very interesting... although it's a wee bit too intelligent for someone like me.

Don Quixote. It's hilarious. :D

Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said, 'goodbye.' And you were like, 'no, wait.' And then I was all, 'we pretended we were going to murder you.' That was great...
