I'm going through various books at once because I am incapable of focusing on one thing at a time:

- The Works of Jonathan Edwards.

- The Mortification of Sin by John Owen.

- The Story of Christianity: Vol. 2: The Reformation to the Present Day by Justo Gonzalaz.

- Radical: Taking back your faith from the American Dream by David Platt.

I just finished Getting the Reformation Wrong: Correcting Some Mistakes by James R. Payton Jr. and New Testament Textual Criticism: A Concise Guide by David Alen Black. As a note, only two of these I'm reading for school... I read this stuff for enjoyment's sake.

Been re-reading George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series in anticipation of the fifth book coming out later this year. Right now I'm still on A Game of Thrones.

Just started reading The Fountainhead - Ayn rand, and I plan on reading atlas shrugged after that.. and then.. on to Nietzche

Let's see at the moment I'm reading The Hunger Games. Here are some other books on my to read list

  • The Darkest Evening of the Year
  • Odd Thomas
  • The Bad Place
  • Stephen King's Under the Dome
  • Stephen King's Firestarter
  • Seabiscuit
  • Midnight Voices
  • Eragon
  • The Chronicles of Pern: DragonHeart

Suppose I might take a break on games a bit and get caught up with reading, so I'll be busy for a while.

Decision Points by George W. I just recently finished his chapter on 911, I've got to say, that was a very moving chapter. One of the best autobiography chapters I've read in a long long time.

I'm a YA reader, too, hence why I can't wait for PERSONAL DEMONS by Lisa Desrochers and BREAK by Hannah Moskowitz to arrive (though, I did tell Lisa that I'd read her book and let her know what I thought of it. Then I'll have to see about getting ORIGINAL SIN when it comes out. I think only the ARCs are out right now).

Wait, is Nietzche someone different. I'm thinking about Friedrich Nietzsche who are you thinking of? Because 1. that's a guy 2. I've never heard of Nietzche and 3. No one in their right mind would willingly read Friedrich Nietzsche.

Most of my recent reading material has been school-related, since I'm currently finishing up my Master of Science degree in mathematics. In particular, I've been spending some time in Linear Algebra Done Right and Basic Complex Analysis. On the other hand, I'm also trying to learn programming with Python, so I've been reading Beginning Python by Magnus Lie Hetland.

How is that? I've been curious about it for some time but don't know anyone who has read it.

I am currently reading Sigmund Freud's Civilization and its Discontents for my philosophy class, pretty interesting so far even though Freud is kind of crazy

I just finished Hamlet not too long ago. I was surprised how much I loved it. I never really enjoyed Shakespeare until I read it, but its just so deep I can't help but love it. It was also laugh out loud funny in some places, which also really surprised me.
