Nice list lowsound.

I'm currently in Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem. Heavy.

I am on a heavy Reformed kick right now. Some of the best books that I have ever laid my hands on. I have read parts of Systematic Theology, fantastic book; I love how he deals with the Holy Spirit. I am now anticipating my copy of Mark Derscoll's new book on doctrine to show up at my door. The advanced copies have shipped already, so it should be here by the end of the week :hyper: PM me if you want to talk more about this, I don't want to venture into "religious" territory.

That "Investing for Canadians for Dummies" book is a bit redundant, isn't it? :D

But in all seriousness, I'm reading "Common Sense Economics" by L. Albert Hahn, "The Raw Shark Texts" by Steven Hall, "Plowshares and Pork barrels" by E. C. Pasour, Jr. and Randal R. Rucker, and I would like to pick up "Haunted" by Chuck Palahnuik.

I saw the movie, it was great. After reading Jaco's biography I realized the parallels between the two of them are extraordinary.

I read that book for a Russian Lit course in college. It was
so thick in paperback that I could not hold it open without
hand pain. I literally took a razor blade and split the book into
thirds at the spine. 1300+ pages iirc.

I rated it right up there as a 10 for the boredom factor,
right along with Theodore Dreiser's American Tragedy, an idea
that would have been better executed as a short story.

I downloaded his complete works for a buck on Kindle, I have been reading it for over a week and I'm still only at 8% which is "The Grand Inquisitor" It's kinda boring at points but the philosophical conversations are excellent, very insightful, and I'm assuming the whole book is really just a sounding board for those ideas.

harpo marx's autobiography.

he's been intreguing me lately- every time i watch footage of him playing (the harp, if you havent seen it youtube his name for you're own sake) i envy how comftorble and at home he is with his instrument. he was also an innovative player (self-tought himself to play very differntly than your 'supposed too'), and a notoriously peacefull nice man.. oh and also the reason he's famous, because he was in the funniest comedy team of all time..

the book is so funny i've lost my place more than once from dropping it i was laughing so uncontrollably.

One has to wonder how big it was in the original Russian, which generally takes more typespace to say things than in English. :hmm:
