NT Book Club Vol. WDYRTD

I started Inferno by Dan Brown a few days ago. according to my Kindle I'm 42% finished, and so far it's been really good. Hopefully it doesn't slow to a turtle's pace like The Lost Symbol did.

Nice, I spent some time in Florence last year so I'll probably read this next since I'm almost done with A Dance with Dragons.

This summer I've read The Alchemist, 1984, and The Power of Now.

Ending break with The Manipulated Man and The Seat of the Soul.
 
Today I rented The Wolf of Wall Street from the library. Looking forward to my train ride to and from school + my break to read this one.

Thinking about going to pick this and Dream Team by Jack McCallum up.
 
^Dream Team is worth a read. There wasn't a lot in there I didn't know but it was entertaining and there's some interesting stuff from interviews in th last few years which adds to the historical stuff - and explains a lot.
 
i just finished Inferno. it was really good. not the ending i expected. i'm currently reading James Rollins' latest book Eye of God. I love this guy's books and he never disappoints.

Finished up White Terror...wasn't really impressed with it. 

I lost focus mid way through the book, and it was a struggle to finish.

Rape & Race in the nineteenth-century South by Diane Miller...so far a good read. 

The book deals mostly with reported rapes and actual rape cases in VA and NC as well. 

This is in addition to readings for school, but I usually spend the weekends leisure reading.

Stumbled on this book by accident, end of each chapter had me glued trying to figure out what was gonna happen next.
 
Started reading this REWORK book by the founders of Chicago software company, 37signals. Pretty good read so far (half way) for those with the entrepreneurial itch.
