What's on the shelves these days...
For school I'm reading a book called On Christian Doctrine, by St. Augustine, and The Hero With a Thousand Faces, by Joseph Campbell (who is some kind of genius).
For fun I'm reading Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison, and Zorba the Greek, by Nikos Kazantzakis. More on that later.
I just got rid of a bunch of books, either giving them to people I thought would like them or donating them to the library, and it helped me focus on which books I had and really wanted to read in the near future. Of course this led to me starting two books rather than one, and I bought a few more.
Recent purchases I can not *WAIT* to read: The Watchmen, All the Pretty Horses, and (thought I've already looked at the first part) Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance.*
I've also signed up on Goodreads.com, which gives me lots of ideas and recommendations. Just going to the bookstore makes me glad I don't try to keep a running list like some people I see with tiny notebooks. There's no way you could write down everything you want to 'look into' and keep it prioritized-- I think it's easier, but if you have a different system, I'd love to hear about it!
*My bike's a hybrid, but I got this one because it discusses shocks and suspension, which my bike has.
