May 2009 - What are you reading?

Such a simple question... What are you reading? The diversity of answers never fails to amaze me. Here are just a few:

"Hooray for books! I'm currently reading 'Turn Coat', one of the Dresden Files novels by Jim Butcher."
- Tory H.

"just finished Malcolm Gladwell's 'Outliers'. I really wanted to find fault with it. But after I finished it, I had to admit that he was pretty successful in explaining how "success" really works. It's about work, not genius. Common sense in a way, but he explains it so perfectly. He is a good journalist. So is Thomas Friedman, the previous book I finished was his "From Beirut to Jerusalem". A beautifully detailed explanation of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, everyone should read it.

It's odd that these were my last two books, because most of what I read is novels."
- Chris W.

"I'm currently reading 'New Moon' by Stephenie Meyer. I should have it finished by Sunday. From there I'm not sure. There is a massive pile of books waiting for me."
- Crystal R.
