Just finished the last Harry Potter book and The Kite Runner. Am currently reading a biography of Alexander II (Russia). Of course, I read random articles from GQ and Details (I have subscriptions) whenever I feel like turning my brain off completely. Oh, and articles on the feedback mechanisms between boreal biomass burning and climate. All great fun.

"Perfumer" by Patrick Suskind.

Genious, sheer genious. Wonderfull commentary on price of perfection, art, sacrifice, religion and human race.

I also just finished Harry Potter (I enjoyed it and make no apologies...), am about halfway through Crime and Punishment, and just started reading Thousand Cranes.

(I have a habit of reading too many books at once.)

I'm currently working on David Cannadine's The Decline and Fall of the British Aristocracy. I'll be writing a paper on the what's/why's of the landed gentry class and its ultimate demise, with an emphasis on the losses they suffered during WWI.

Thanks to epic slacking off, I read the entire Aeneid in 5 hours.

My brain hurts.

Just finished "Sweat: The Story of the Fleshtones, America's Garage Band".

Have been steadily making my way through Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus stories.

In the middle of "The Man Who Ate Everything" by Jeff Steingarten

Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia by Ahmed Rashid. fascinating read esp. on Omar's rise to power.

and it's sad what has happened to Afghanistan. it sounds like it would have been an amazing place to visit pre-Soviet invasion and the rise of the Mujaheddin.

Those are a lot of fun. I pretty much worked my way through those and Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks novels simultaneously, so sometimes they run together in my mind like Archie Bunker would visit the Jeffersons.

They are, of course, books that should be enjoyed with a tumbler of scotch whiskey at hand.

I just finished this year's Best American Short Stories (somewhat disappointing this year) and am about to start on the Best American Essays and Best American Mystery Stories. I recently re-read Andrei Bely's Petersburg, which is great.
