Books you want to read

[marle]

These are books I hope I get around to reading some day:


The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved: Inside America's Underground Food Movements by Sandor Ellix Katz

The Psychology of Everyday Things by Donald A. Norman

A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander

The Phenomenon of Man by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin


Most of the following as audiobooks. I just listened to my first book on CD and it just seems easier:

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell

Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner

Game Change by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin

Heat: An Amateur's Adventures as Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker, and Apprentice to a Dante-Quoting Butcher in Tuscany by Bill Buford

Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip--Confessions of a Cynical Waiter by Steve Dublanica

Inside Scientology: The Story of America's Most Secretive Religion by Janet Reitman

If You Ask Me: (And of Course You Won't) by Betty White

[Tainted Angel]

I'd like to read;

Thirteen Reasons Why
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

And... That's all so far....
Most of the teen books that are out don't sound so interesting to me =\

EDIT:

Forgotten by Cat Patrick
Abandon by Meg Cabot

I plan to read "The Lost Hero" by Rick Riordan. It's the first book from the spin off series to the Percy Jackson series.

I also plan to start reading the Eragon series since the last book comes out soon.

Hi Scotty, have you had the chance to read the original Percy Jackson Series? The Lost Hero is a great book on its own, exploring on more mythological characters although if you have read the original series, the cross-referencing of events/characters would be so much more fun.

I'm looking forward to the next book - The Son of Neptune (I hope this isn't too much of a spoiler!). I hope you enjoy both The Lost Hero and Eragon series.

I have read the original series, and I loved them, so I'm sure i'll like his new series. Have you tried reading his other one, The Kane Chronicles? That's another one I keep meaning to check out.

Noted....I will also get around to read The Kane Chronicles

Out of this list I posted almost 2 years ago, I've only completed one book (Phenomenon of Man) and one audiobook (Waiter Rant). I started reading The Psychology of Everyday Things a while ago and it was compelling at first, but the author seemed to repeat his same points throughout the book so I didn't bother to finish.

Right now I'm determined to read to completion God Is Red by Vine Deloria. It's about Native American religious philosophy and how it compares to Christianity. I'm fascinated by cultural differences in spiritual views.
