Recent Books I have finished.

Hey it's rare when I finish a book. I dunno why but it just is. I always start on really huge books and then give up. My worst offences are religous material. You would not belive how many books I have half finished. Dune, Peoples History of the united states, Soledad Brother, The Koran.

So you can see why finishing a few books is a big deal to me. As you can see from my listal account, I have a ton of books that I haven't read yet.

1. Sirens Of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
Excelent piece of satire, I was laughing out loud quite often. This is my first Kurt Vonnegut book and I know for sure I will be reading more of his work in the near future.

2. Guns, Germs and Steel: The fates of human societies by Jared Diamond
Quite informative, I learned several things from this book and I often find myself quoting it in conversation. Of course it's sometimes hard to find people to chat about history and evoloution with. Some things are repeated several times and alot of people had that to complain about. I thought it really helped with my retension of the knowlege. I would read it again.

3. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
Extremely well written piece of literature. It took me about 6 months to read it. Of course I am always reading a few things at a time so some things just take a long time. Alot of people don't like this book or Ayn Rand in particular. I found it to be quite entertaining and I often find myself comparing real life people to characters in "The Fountainhead". Of course I see myself as Howard Roark. I would probablly read it again.

I am currently reading: The Third Chimpanzee by Jared Diamond, Me Talk Pretty One Day by Davis Sedaris and Lake Wobegon Days by Garrison Keilor.
