I just picked up 'The God Delusion' and started reading it. I still have a way to go, and I'll post my thoughts of this on my blog when I'm done. However, from what i've read thus far, i'm not too fond of Mr. Dawkins.

Currently: Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Book Got Wrong by James Loewen (Started out kinda slow, but as I read it got really engaging) [/i][/quote]Is that worth picking up? Saw it in the book store last time I went, and thought about getting it, but ended up getting something else.

I'm almost finished with Fragile Things(an anthology of Neil Gaiman short stories). It's pretty good. After that, I don't know. Maybe House of Leaves?

At present?
In my bookbag, I have:
*Elemental Gelade, vol. 1
*a collection of stories by Washington Irving
*The Federalist Papers.
I've got a "think of the children!" book about the hidden occult teachings of popular toys sitting in front of the computer monitor. I've been trying to read it and do a rebuttal of what's inside, but I'm so far behind on the magazines I've subscribed to (3 business mags, 1 writing mag; I sometimes use them in class) that I've not been able to touch it in a month or so. I've likewise got a Van Halen bio I was reading at work that I've also had to set off to the side for the exact same reason. I'm looking to drop one of my subscriptions, however, and so hopefully that'll free up some time on my end.

I just finished A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. Excellent book, particularly for anyone who's interested in hiking. I'll be starting Your Inner Fish either tomorrow or tonight.

I just started a biography on the greatest con-man to ever walk the Earth. That's right, I'm reading about Phineas T. Barnum.
