Cain

Read the first one of those.  Will try the second and third later, as I am currently reading Makers of Modern Strategy, edited by Peter Paret.  For those wondering, "modern strategy" apparently started with Machiavelli.  So, taking a rather broad view of the subject material.

Luna

Rereading Transmetropolitan.

All of it.  Beginning to end.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I got AIDS: The End Of Civilization by William Campbell Douglass for a buck.
He says you can get it from towels and what he seems to be leading up to is WE'RE ALL GONNA GET IT AND GET REAL SKINNY AND DIEEEEEEE.
Can't say I totally disbelieve that it was created on purpose, but other than that, the book is pure-d shit.  :D

Everything I am reading is boring because it is mostly self-help books about relationships and boundaries.

Take the occasional break to rest your brain.  Stuff all that shit in there straight and your brain will beat your eyeballs out just to make an escape route.

Oh, it's going OK. I just thought momentarily about posting my reading list and then realized it wouldn't be of interest to ANYONE.

Might be if you ranked 'em in order of usefulness when you're done with 'em.  Rate 'em on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being "taught me about shit I didn't know existed," and 1 being "use this book as a room divider for your gerbil."

I tend to alternate between fiction and non-fiction. Recently I've been plugging away at Madness and Civilization by Michael Foucalt, though I was distracted last weekend when I found a copy of Quantum Psychology by RAW (and studying how physics leads to human psychology via evolution/biology/chemistry is exactly what I'm going to college for). Both are interesting reads.

As far as fiction goes, the girl I'm crazy over has gotten me reading comic books again after a dozen year hiatus, so right now I've been tearing through Ultimate Spider-Man and trying to find trades of the Mirage TMNT...

i have repeatedly attempted to muddle through the English translation of Macchiavelli's "Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livy" but always seem to get distracted and wind up reading webcomics instead.

There's this one really good webcomic called "Goats" that I'm reading  through now (having already finished Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Something Happens, Jack, Twokinds, Slightly Damned, Guinea Tech, Ballerina Mafia, One Small Step, Chainroaker on a Budget, Cuore Voodoo, Hard-Boiled Horror Tales, and the Goats spinoff "Scenes From A Multiverse")
