Hay ole dirty if your still into spirituality stuff, I got a great book for you..."Divine Hunger: Canadians on a Spiritual walkabout" its a 'learnin' book, but it covers why canadians feel the need for certian aspects of Christianity and spirituality, why evangelical faith is on the rise and has some really cool stuff.
As for me, i am reading two books at the moment, "Religion and its Monsters" and a book called "Queen Maker". the later is kinda like the Red Tent but a thousand times better and has a woman waiting years to get even with the man she hates...

A couple of weeks ago I read The Davinci Code. I don't think I've ever read a book so quickly before. I could not put it down. The book involves a lot of puzzle solving and code breaking, and I just love that kind of stuff (hence my obsession with RPG games like Resident Evil). There are a lot of religious aspects to the book that I also found fascinating. So much so that I've just started reading The Hiram Key by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas. It's a book that explores the origins of Freemasonry and claims to unravel the "true" story of Jesus and the original Jerusalem Church. I think this book may take me a bit longer to finish. I'll keep you posted.

Saucy, I'm glad you resurrected this topic, I love to read! How did your boys like the newest Harry Potter? I found the end quite sad & troubling. If you're ever looking for something to read to your boys with a stron female protagonist there's this book I read when I was younger that I fell in love with, it's called The Girl Who Owned a City by O.T. Nelson. I'm not sure how available it is because it was published in 1975 (dang! it's older than I am). However, if your boys are more interested in sci fi & fantasy, then they may not like it. The description on the cover reads: Not since Lord of the Flies has there been such a powerful story of children forced to survive in a world without adults. It sounds like you're doing an excellent job of immersing them in the world of literature already, I'm very glad to hear about it!

We were in a tent in the deep forest when we got to the part when the person who dies get's " injured " ,and Harry has to keep making him drink. We had to stop!! As they fell asleep , I finished the book and decided that we would wait untill we got home to finish. They took it better than I expected , better than they did when Gandalf "died". Yes it was disturbing , but we were glad that Harry now has better reasons to feel the way that he does about Severous and Draco.The last book should be quite intense.
Thanks for the recomendation ,I'm always looking ahead to what we will read next ,so many good books , so few years left (although my parents read to me well into my teens). The Girl Who Owned a City  sounds worthy of further investigation ,I will get my friend at the local bookstore to run it through her computer for me.

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, excellent piece of satire. Looking for something shorter? Try A Modest Proposal by the same author.

I like that one EvilTwin. Have you read any of the Dark Tower series by SK? If not then you may not be able to get too into Buick 8 (it relates a little bit to the Dark Tower).

No the Dark Tower series was one I never got into. I don't know why, I just never read them. Read about everything else by King. Started with Cujo when I was  about 11 or 12.

Into non-fiction at the moment:

John Ralston Saul - Voltaire's Bastards - Why reason has failed us.
                         - Reflections of a Siamese Twin - Great book on Canadian History.
                         - The Collapse of Globalism - Up with humanism!

Noam Chomsky - Hegemony or Survival - Bush is a cocksucker!
                      - Rogue States - Neo-cons are dangerous cocksuckers!

Heavy Shit, but great ammunition when arguin' with cocksuckers!

On the lighter side..

Robertson Davies - Deptford, Salterton and Cornish Trilogies

Big Books, big fun!

Now fuck off!

I got work to do. (Mainly reading)
