I bought Cormac McCarthy's The Road before work this morning and just finished it. Needless to say, I couldn't put it down.
Currently reading: A Walk in the Woods
Its about a guy(also the author) who decides out of nowhere to walk 2000 plus miles on the Appalachian Trail. The book is hilarious I am pleasantly surprised.

Collapse by Jared Diamond
he basically analyzes past societal collapses (Easter Island, Angkor Wat, Mayan, etc) and draws interesting conlcusions about their demise, most of which are pretty logical (overpopulation, exhausting natural resources, starvation, civil war, etc). paints a pretty bleak picture of what could happen in the world today

David Herbert Lawrence, Sons and Lovers.
I've just started reading Freakonomics. My business professor gave me a heads up that the two courses I have with her next semester (marketing and business economy) would draw heavily on that book, so I picked up a copy today. I'll let everyone know what I think about it later if anyone's interested.
Rereading "Gates of the Alamo" by Stephen Harrigan. I read it about 8 or 9 years ago when it first came out. I am on a resal kick right now about the seige and battle of the Alamo so I thought I would read this book again and get fictionalized version of that event.

Yesterday, I finished reading The Bedroom Secrets of Master Chefs by Irvine Welsh. I'm sure I've spouted my praise of Welsh, so suffice it to say that the book was excellent (if you're into the whole modern, gritty, Scottish literature thing).
Now, I'm cracking open Glue, also by Welsh, for something like the 10th time.

"Cross Country" by James Patterson...
Read it last year.
The book seem to "**** off" both my Liberal and Conservative friends.
Just finished reading Mao's Last Dancer by Li Cunxin. I only picked it up because I am attending a conference in January and he will be the keynote speaker, but I found the book absolutely compelling. A truly remarkable story about a remarkable man. I guess I'll have to see the movie as well.
