Random question...

[x_dazzler]

Anyone have any books they'd like to refer to me, for reading? I've been working through the backlog on my reading shelf lately and finding new stuff to look into is being considered just now. Any topic is good, I can handle English and Spanish and if I push it real hard, maybe French. (I may need help on the French if it makes use of something other than the general popular terms/language though. So if you suggest that, be ready to be nagged and stuff.)

Oh! And Hank? The origami critters are still a hit. Thank you. Miles asked me how to make cranes so I showed him - but I thought you might want to show him how to make some of the others? Some of those I wouldn't have the first clue how to go about making anyway. You went pretty wild there, pun unintended. ;)

Wow, someone around here reads when they're not laid up and injured? I always thought it was just me.

I've got a spare copy of Walden if you feel like some thought-provoking stuff.

Before all of my recent events...

I was reading this:

Get Them On Your Side: Win Support, Covert Skeptics, Get Results
by Samuel B. Bacharach.

Interesting stuff so far.

Of course, you could always go back to the words of the Master, and reread _The Prince_.

The hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy is always good.

What else do you do with books? Well, I reckon they'd be good for beating someone upside the head for being ornery.

You should read Shane by Jack Schaefer (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=kr4zSrGBVc&isbn=0553271105&itm=1). It's the quintessential cowboy story. It's really short, but a lot of fun.

The Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Baudolino by Umberto Eco
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Pattern Recognition by William Gibson

Yoda: Dark Rendezvous by Sean Stewart. They should've just hired him and Matt Stover to write the prequels, then they wouldn't suck.

The Great Game: The Struggle for Empire in Central Asia by Peter Hopkirk
The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith by Irshad Manji. (Haroun, don't look at me like that. You should read this one too.)
Shake Hands with the Devil by Romeo Dallaire

Also Summa Theologica by Aquinas and the Screwtape Letters by Lewis.

Hank knows origami? Dude! He's so been holding out on me. I had this whole mad on for it one summer and taught myself how to make a couple of animals. (Can make a pretty mean looking bull, if I do say so myself.)

As to reading. I'm assuming you've read the Lord of the Rings ones. (Up to the battle of Pelinor fields! Is it weird that I'm still nervous for the characters, even if I've seen the movies?)

Um...I don't think you'd want to read any of the books I've been reading lately. But Tamora Pierce is very cool.
