Just bought Al Gore's "The Assault On Reason" yesterday. I have tomorrow off, so I am setting aside a good block of time for it.
Your latest?

6. Now that I'm done with school I'm finally getting back to The God Delusion |
|
I had to set it aside while I did my last few papers and studied for finals. I'm going to try to finish the few chapters I've got left of that and most or all of my lighter reading before my summer class starts.

7. Harry Turtledove's historical novel about the Fort Pillow Massacre. |

Called, simply enough, "Fort Pillow." Pretty good.

by Rajiv Chandrasekaran I just finished. I am now reading (in a "light" mood) "Tab Hunter Confidential" which is an autobio about Tab Hunter being a closeted gay guy during his heartthrob movie star reign in the 50's (his boyfriend was Tony Perkins of "Psycho" fame).

18. Library - The Case For Impeachment |
|
also The Greatest Story Ever Sold
bought Impeach the President and George W. Bush versus the U.S. Constitution
Getting a pattern here? I'm doing a speech on impeachment for class - I'm so disgusted with Congress though, I might be calling for another Revolution instead.

20. Amy Sedaris' "I Like You -- Hospitality Under the Influence" |
|
It's sort of a book on how to entertain and has recipes but it also has instructions on proper care and maintenance of the female genitalia. At the very least, I'd recommend looking at it the next time you're in the bookstore. It's wild.
Otherwise, I'm on the waiting list at the library for a new Einstein bio.
