I had a similar reaction to Chuck Palahniuk's "Rant."

About to finish American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Might read Everything Matters! by Ron Currie Jr. afterwards, since I've been meaning to do so for a while now.

If you meet the Buddha on the road, Kill him! The pilgrimage of psychotherapy patients - by Sheldon Kopp.

Interesting read so far!

Mennonite in a little black dress by Rhoda Janzen. Hysterically funny descriptions of some traditional cooking, but overly pretentious vocabulary in parts was a little off-putting...

Finally finished American Gods. One of Gaiman's best books, probably my favorite after Good Omens.

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

Maybe a copy of that should go into every hotel room, next to the Gideon's Bible and the Book of Mormon? (Consider that many believe The Bible and Book of Mormon are the two best books humanity has produced, yet you wonder why the world is like it is.)

Thanks, I have two or three books I've wanted to read for a while now, but I'll definitely check that one out over summer.

I read God Delusion few years ago. Dawkins is very polite. I prefer George Carlin's way.

I recently bought a Kindle Touch so I´ve been busy reading.
In May I read:
Mr. Nastase: The Autobiography ..... Ilie Nastase.
The Girl who kicked the Hornet´s Nest ..... Stieg Larsson.
El diario del Chavo del Ocho ..... Roberto Gómez Bolaños.
Todos los cuentos ( these are a lot
of short stories, I have read maybe
just 5 out of 42 ) ..... Gabriel García Márquez.

Carlin sums it all up in just a few minutes here.

Currently reading "A Song of Ice and Fire". Tremendous books, true masterpieces IMO. Now I'm a quarter into "A Storm of Swords".

Having seen some episodes of Game of Thrones I thought all the families, lineages and such would just be very confusing in book format (similar to The Simarillion). Is it like that at all?
