David Lee Roth "Crazy From the Heat". He's crazy alright. Still can't put it down!

Default a bit of a different genre...

I am reading the Anita Blake series by Laurel K. Hamilton. The series is about a zombie raising, vampire killing, necromancer and her life protecting St. Louis from monsters. The series is around 14 books and is a very humorus, exciting book that will keep you awake during boring classes. I highly recommend this book and so do reviewers who said it was "An R rated Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

Wow, I write book reports too often.

I'm re-reading Cryptonomicon. It's a tale set in WWII and the late 1990s with the events interweaving in the different families lives. Plus you learn a whole bunch about cryptography along the way. One of my favorite books.

Cookbook-wise, I have a stack from the library on Korean, Veitnamese and Indonesian food.

Thumbs up

I was given a copy of Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She was born in Somalia, sought asylum in the Netherlands, and eventually became a member of the Dutch Parliament. According to the book jacket, her goal is to balance western Democratic ideals with Islamic ideals. I've been told it's a quick read but lately I've not been much in the mood for reading.

Still, the book looks very interesting and worth reading.

What have you guys been reading lately? Recommend it?
I haven't read this book, but saw the movie, and it's one of my favorites.

On the other hand, I read the book Congo and it's one of my 2 favorite novels. Later the movie came out and it wasn't that great, so I heard, so I didn't see it. I didn't want to tarnish the book experience.

My other favorite book is Shibumi, by Trevanian.
