I normally read two books at a time, but one is a slower reading where I will read a few chapters, then go on to read another book, once the other book is finished, I go back to the first one for a few more chapters and start over. Somehow, this works for me.
Right now, I am reading "An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror" by David Frum and Richard Perle. It is listed as non-fiction, but so far it just seems like a horror novel.
The stop and go book: "Festival and Special Event Management" (I am organizing a festival and trying to do it right.)

It's not deep, but at least every time I take it with me somewhere it's sparking lots of conversation.
Before that I read the Tolkein Trilogy back to back to back.
In time to see Return of the King in the theatre in December.

Political Liberalism; John Rawls
My condolensces. Frankly, I see no reason why I should be held to a theoretical contract which he thinks some phantom people in some phantom "original position" might have agreed to. He also sees people as far too risk adverse.
Quoted from "Ferrix"
Contemporary Political Philosophy; Will Kymlicka - a book which goes over a broad range of areas of political philosophy
The libertarian chapter isn't bad. But it's too bad these modern political philosophy classes don't assign Hayek's "Road to Serfdom."

I just finished The Reader's Manifesto: An Attack on the Growing Pretentiousness in American Literary Prose. It's a must read for anyone who is intersted in writing and style.
I'm starting Catcher in the Rye which, somehow, I've managed to avoid for 28 years.
I'm also slowly making my way through The Dorothy Parker Reader - a collection of her short stories and poetry.

Reading two books:
Frank Lloyd Wright: Inside and Out by Diane Madden. Got a great on it on the B&N website. Hardcover, chock full of beautiful full color images of some of Wright's work throughout the US with dialogue about each.
Also reading <i>AMERICANGREATS</i> by Robert A. Wilson and Stanley Marcus. Great book about great American achievements. Especially the little things, like car starters.[/img]

Will add this to my reading list!
Quote I'm starting Catcher in the Rye which, somehow, I've managed to avoid for 28 years.
This is a long-time favorite of mine. As an adolescent, I was in love with Holden Caulfield (but who wasn't?).
Quote I'm also slowly making my way through The Dorothy Parker Reader - a collection of her short stories and poetry.
Dorothy Parker is great--sardonic, depressing, witty, fab. I love her heavy, blond, alcoholic women. They make me want to drink. :wink:
Sometimes I go on a tear where all I want to read is short fiction. Then, I soak up Dorothy Parker, Grace Paley, Raymond Carver (haven't read him in ages, though), and of course reread "The Dead" by Joyce. Best. Short. Story. Ever.
One who'll knock you right in the solar-plexus is Flannery O'Connor. Everything That Rises Must Converge. The woman is a genius in the short-fiction form. She also brings me back to my hellfire & brimstone Catholic childhood. Love her.

My apartment and my office are both crammed full of books. Here's just a taste:
Just finished:
DoOon Mode by Piers Anthony. The close of a very predictable story. Go Colene!
The Crystal City by Orson Scott Card. Card still meanders through that alternate America. I say let 'em!
Slogging through and still in my backpack:
Spear of Heaven by Judith Tarr. Got bushwacked in the Kingdom of Heaven. Still waiting for the real action to begin.
Cycle of Nemesis by Kenneth Bulmer. Not sure where he's going with this.
The Real Story by Stephen Donaldson. Still in the early chapters. Can't figure out why there's a whole series yet.
Swords of the Barbarians by Kenneth Bulmer. Not yet started.
Reading with the wife:
The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? by Rick Warren. He's a bit too authoritatitive in his narrative for my tastes.
The Millionaire Mind by Thomas J. Stanley. Pretty interesting the demographics here.
For work:
Mastering Oracle SQL by Sanjay Mishra, Alan Beaulieu. Still on order (thankfully...).
SPSS Programming and Data Management by SPSS. Still on order.
Forgot Quicksilver is out already. Will have to check it at the local library. Oh, and I'm perusing the Georgia, North Carolina & South Carolina AAA Tourbook, for sites to see while we're at ATLX.

Rawls is doing ideal theory here so I don't have too many problems with it, he's proposing it as a possible ideal theory of people attempting to construct a democratic society to which they can all agree, thus the veil of ignorance. The theoretical contract is designed by people discussing from the veil of ignorance, and his example is just an example. I won't get too much more into it here, but really it's not so ghostly.
Quoted from "Dan2513" The libertarian chapter isn't bad. But it's too bad these modern political philosophy classes don't assign Hayek's "Road to Serfdom."
Hayek is about as popular to me as Nozick. I disagree with them on some of their most basic assumptions and such I don't get too far into their readings without having two pages of disagreeing notes and comments scrawled for every page of theirs.
And I concur Swifty. If a person is such a die hard liberal or libertarian it surprises me how they can think that a government should deny marriage to people based on their individual choice of sexual preference if they think that a government should be as minimal as possible to just enforce rules for basic rights and personal freedoms and economic laws.

A trip to the library has done wonders for me.
I checked out the first nine volumes of the Lemony Snicket series. I finished the first one last night. I hope they get better. People have compared this series to Roald Dahl. Riiiiiiight.
There is NOTHING I have read in children's fiction that comes anywhere CLOSE to the masterpiece after masterpiece in Roald Dahl's catalogue. When I read the latest Harry Potter book, I barely remembered what had happened in the volume previous. On the other hand, I will never forget the story of the Witches. :)
Regarding, The Reader's Manifesto - another book that's along the same vein is called "Less Than Words Can Say." I forget who the author is.
And I HAVE to recommend ANY book written by Joe Queenan. Seriously. If you want to laugh your ass off at EVERYTHING, read, in the following order:
Balsamic Dreams
Red Lobster, White Trash, and the Blue Lagoon
True Believers
My Goodness
All these books are freaking HILARIOUS and at the same time meaningful. Balsamic Dreams is a scathing critique of the modern American adult, Red Lobster is a diatribe against all things in the upper-middle-class culture, True Believers is about sports fan (the author is a dedicated Phillies fan, but man...his theories about the New York Jets are side-splitting), and My Goodness is his attempt to stop being a jerk and actually become a good person. Like Susan Sarandon.
They're all really easy reads, shouldn't take more than a day or two, and Queenan is such a freaking talented writer that his prose just sizzles and leaps off the page. Don't read them in public unless you're ready to laugh out loud so badly that people will look at you funny.

I just finished Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and intend to start reading The Doors of Perception by the same. Also just finished reading Chac Mool by Carlos Fuentes for my Spanish Lit class. I'm currently reading Abhorson by Garth Nix (not nearly as good as the first book in the series), The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, Las Ataduras by Carmen Gaite, El Poema del Cid, and the Rig Veda.

A more up to date book is "Edge City" by Joel Garreau. When the author started the book, he thought that suburbs were morally wrong. The conclusion that he comes to is considerably more complex.

I had my last class of the semester yesterday, and rewarded myself too early (as in, before my finals are over) by going to the library. So I get to read the latest Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novel by Laurell K. Hamilton, Cerulean Sins. I am only reading one book at this time, which is very strange for me -- I usually do a history book (I'm currently crushing on Robert K. Massie and his Russian histories/biographies of Nicholas and Alexandra and Peter the Great), a science book (Freeman Dyson is one of my favs, but I've run out of his books...imagine, a physicist who can write as well as he thinks about the universe in mathematical terms!), and fiction. It's only because my brain needs to return to its normal vacation state.
A few recommendations:
For pure, animal sexiness and some really cool fight scenes -- anything by Laurell K. Hamilton (do NOT read these out of order, though, either her fairy series or her vampire hunter series, you will get lost, as she gradually creates the universe)
Children's books: Artemis Fowl, anything by Philip Pullman (again, don't read the His Dark Materials trilogy out of order), anything by Susan Cooper (The Dark Is Rising series) or Madeleine L'Engle (I pity those who did not read the Wrinkle in Time books as a child, but it can still be fixed)
For epic, well-researched historical fiction: anything by Edward Rutherfurd
For an intriguing look at the history of the relationship between the (Catholic) church and Judaism: Constantine's Sword, by James Carroll
For good "biology" fluff reading: Ghosts of the Tsavo, by Philip Caputo (a look at the lions of the Tsavo preserve -- The Ghost and the Darkness covers these same lions)
For a really cool analysis of Los Angeles, which I was so happy I had to read for a class: City of Quartz, by Mike Davis
And for those few poor souls who may not yet have discovered David Sedaris, don't read him if you have to pee, or if you're worried about being a spectacle in public, because you will laugh out loud.
