Definitely going to read Fight Club first though, should take much less time.

The last history book I read was "your country failed you" by richard clarke. It was interesting, and eye opening but just sooooo drythat I stopped reading halfway through. I want to go back and read it but it's so disheartining to see how the war in iraq was doomed from the very start.(from a militiristic standpoint, not morally cause looking back we shouldn't have been there)

Yeah I've been noticing that quite a bit too. I'll pick up certain history books that don't pertain to subject matter I'mprimarily interested in and make it half way through and have to stop. Now though, even things I'm interested in I can't read because they tend to be abit on the boring side. History books are mainly good for reference. Kind of sucks that I'm realizing this now

Currently? GMAT Direct lol. Before that Stori Telling Autobiography of Tori Spellting. Looking forward to a few before years end...

1. The Recipe Club
2. Womanomics or Mercury in Retrograde (something a little more light hearted)
3. Letters to a Young Sister

I also want to read Fight Club (one of my all time fav movies). I'm thinking I need to invest in the library because buying all of these books hurts thewallet lol.

finished it. great book. pretty similar to the tipping point. one thing i found interesting was being born on certain months can determine your success as ahockey player. not to mention 10000 hours is what it takes approximately to master something. nonpassive of course.
