What are you reading now?

[fritter63]

Just a general curiosity question. I'm old enough to be bored with TV (which is now always just a repeat with different actors). If I'm not
watching educational programs (or what pretends to be that these days), I'm reading.

Currently:

- An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth (Ghandi)

- The Grand Design (Stephen Hawking)

I have just finished Apache by Ed Macy.
I am currently reading Hellfire by Ed Macy.

Awesome books about the author and the Apache Helicopter.

This makes for a good read, most of the time.

In book form, I'm re-reading The Road to Serfdom by Hayek (http://www.amazon.com/Road-Serfdom-Documents---Definitive-Collected/dp/0226320553/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317522986&sr=1-1).  It's thick, heavy stuff, I could only finish 6-10 pages an hour the first time around, so even though I'm only reading the parts I underlined and bracketed the second time around, I've really gotta be in the mood for a hard slog before I pick it up.  Still, gotta get this one under my belt before I move on to the next book--

Randy Barnett's "Restoring the Lost Constitution," (http://www.amazon.com/Restoring-Lost-Constitution-Presumption-Liberty/dp/0691123764/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317522693&sr=8-1).  Really can't wait to get started on this book--on my lunch breaks at work I've reading anything by Barnett that I can get for free at ssrn.com.  It's also thick, heavy stuff, but at least it's written in contemporary, American English, and Barnett's got a dry sense of humor that works a little like comic relief.  (And I can legitimately tell my employer it's work related!)

For "light reading," (i.e., purely for guilty pleasure, and something that I can chip away at when I've only got a few minutes), this "60 Minutes-like" expose of the emails that were leaked from a server at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit: http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/reprint/climategate_analysis.pdf

Regards,

I've always loved reading and re-reading "The Cadfael Chronicles" by Ellis Peters, the pen name of Edith Pargeter, now deceased.  Brother Cadfael is a fictional 12th century Benedictine monk originally from Wales.  Derek Jacobi played the part of Brother Cadfael in the TV series of the late 90s.
