Homeland was an awesome read, though slightly angsty.
I'm still reading Mein Kampf (that book is one great source of food for thought.), and have added The Death of Common Sense, by Philip K. Howard, which is a cynical lawyer's view on why American society is so... stupid. And then add to that Podkayne of Mars, by Robert A. Heinlein. In the past three or four years, I don't think I've gone more than a month without reading a Heinlein book.

| Halfway through Crine and Punishment, and halfway through the second book in the Icewind Dale series (Streams of Silver? I forget the title..)
Haven't had much time for reading lately, though. Hopefully I'll have more over break.

| I'm currently trying to get through Le Morte De Judas, but I've also been reading short stories by Edgar Allan Poe, and some plays by Shakespeare...I just finished Titus Andronicus, actually. Pretty good. |
