"King Leopold's Ghost" by Adam Hochschild -- excellent book about the world's first international human rights campaign against Belgium's colonization of the Congo
 
Ayn Rand - The Fountainhead. It is soooo good so far.

Next up is either Crime and Punishment (or The Brothers Karamazov, not sure which to go for yet) by Fyodor Dostoevsky, or attempting to tackle Atlas Shrugged :shocked:
 
"Embedded C Programming and the Atmel AVR" by Barnett , Cox, and O'Cull.

Uh.. I just finished "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" though.
 
I was flying all day yesterday, so I felt some classic Doc Smith was in order: Children of the Lens, and The Galaxy Primes

I bought this book "Snow Falling On Cedars" a while back but never got around to reading it. I want to start but I've been kinda lazy with life lately.

I just recently finished Our Lady of the Forest by the same author.. it was decent, good characters but story was kind of short and too drawn out for what it was.

I liked The Brothers Karamazov much better... C&P seemed more tedious, but was still good (obviously). Although, I thought The Idiot was amazing; I don't remember those two as well.
 
Currently, I'm finishing On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Next is Hunter Thompson's Great Shark Hunt or Ernest Hemingway's For Whom The Bell Tolls.
 
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

Should have it finished tonight or tomorrow. Amazing read for a book written in 1943. I'll have finished the 700 pages within a week.
 
The latest Inspector Wexford mystery by Ruth Rendell. I would live a new P.D. James to be written/published at some point

Skimming is key. You won't need 99% of the details for the test, and you'll learn way more from the practical sessions than from the book.
 
I'm reading The Stand. About half-way through. It started well, got boring for awhile and seems to be picking up again.
 
Running with scissors, some boring art history book, psychology, a book about Avid and a bunch of books for a research paper.
 
The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski, The God Delusion, and Faith and Fire by some unimportant guy...
 
Infinite Jest by by David Foster Wallace (Haven't gotten into it too much, I pick it up now and then to read a few chapters)
The Laughing Policeman by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo

Tomorrow I'm going to pick up Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, and maybe a book of short stories by Hemingway.
