Working on Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay. Newt Gingrich came to speak to my class last week and recommended it. Good, timely read on economic bubbles.
I've been reading Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I'm about halfway through. I'm glad I finally took the time to pick up one of his novels. I'll definitely have to check out some of his other stuff.
Continuing on my Dean Koontz binge, I finished Seize the Night today and started on The Servants of Twilight...looks to be a good one so far...not that I've been disappointed with any of his novels yet, except for Icebound...terrible, just terrible.

I love that book, and Kurt Vonnegut. Slaughterhouse Five sorta reminds me of what a Quentin Tarantino movie would look like if it was made into a book.

I like the humor of it. It's this really serious subject, but the way he tells it is just brilliant. Any suggestions for which of his works I should check out next?
Last night I was reading my new issue of Vintage Guitar magazine. Tonight I'll be finishing up the "Gun Digest's Book of the 1911 Vol 1" and if my stogie lasts longer than that the new issue of "The Backwoodsman" magazine.

If you like books on economincs (and thr trouble with bubbles), check out Dr Ravi Batra "The New Golden Age- The comming revolution against political corruption and economic chaos"
If you're interested in that part of the world, harp, you might like Rebecca West's classic "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon," which is about Yugoslavia just before WWII. (However, it's longer than Uncle Bob's tapeworm.)
I had to read Heart of Darkness in my senior AP English class...I never even got halfway through it. That book is, in my opinion anyway, far above high school comprehension level....I think I would have to really sit down and force my way through it now even.
