At the moment:

Souls in the Great Machine, Sean McMullen. Science fiction, fairly cool Canticle for Liebowiz-ish future society where they're learning to make computers using thousands of people as primitive logic components because the EMP satellites are still in orbit destroying any electromagnetic devices they sense.

The Third Witch, by Rebecca Reisert. Macbeth, told from the point of view of one of the the witches.

Next:

The Nautical Chart, by Arturo Perez-Reverte. I realized when I saw it that two of the better books I'd read recently (the Flanders Panel, the Fencing Master) were also by him, although I hadn't ever realized they were by the same auther Smile

I have really enjoyed the books. They aren't mindbending or anything like that just a nice easy read with several different storylines.

Akronn

A Stitch in Time by Andrew Robinson

It's the story of Garak and Cardassia and it's actually really good!

Right now I'm reading "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser. It's an in depth look at the fast food industry and all of it's lies as well as the disgusting food practices they use.

Akronn

That sounds like a good book, Pam. If our public school system was worth a damn, they would have us read a few books like that instead of The Red Badge of Courage. It's a shame, but alot of big money keeps the truth nicely tucked away.

It's been a great book so far Akronn, makes me even happier I stay out of the fast food joints as much as I do. I also agree that it would be great to feature books like this along with accepted literature in schools.
