If you like that try "Data Reduction and Error Analysis" by Philip Bevington whom you may recognize from other such classics like "Data Reduction and Error Analysis 2nd edition" or the prequel "Data Reduction and Error Analysis for Physical Sciences 1st Edition." Talk about suspense I can hardly put it down. I needed to have read it by yesterday.

Ron Paul, A Foreign Policy of Peace

Basically speeches of his in 12 terms of congress where he warns of foreign entanglements, burdening taxpayers with paying for a global empire, clandestine CIA ops, bogus foreign aid where we end up backing both sides of a conflict, and the ineffectiveness of congress. And I've only made it to 1994 so far.

good read

I plowed through these 3 while in Peru between cervezas and surf.

Scar Tissue - Anthony Keidis

Awesome book, glued to it in Peru couldn't put down probably one of the best books I've read...

Into The Wild - Jon Kraukauer

Another good one, more detail ommited from the movie which was a good adaptation. That kid had issues, too bad he wasn't more prepared or he'd have lived to tell his story.

The Alchemist - Paulo Coehlo

A read good story by a good writer, that said it definetely didn't live up to the hype for me but I can see why some people love this book.

Tijuana Straights by Kem Nunn....another dark, gritty story of a surfer beyond his halcyon days of perpetual stoke and sunshine, barely holding on to some shred of hope that there will be a release from the despair that has become his life.

If you've managed to make it through any of his previous works, you are sure to enjoy this one, as well.

The Philosophy Of Time Travel..
By...Roberta Sparrow..

the latest list:

lord valentines castle - fun SF slock

the second book of lankmar - classic sword and sorcery tales.

the march 2009 issue of Physics today - biographies of John A. Wheeler are totally rad... great to read such a greatly influential physicist profiled so well

finally,

a beginners guide to mathematica. - alright but my copy from the libary is about 3 software revs out of date.

Ed Fladung's blog @ www.qualitypeoples.com

Stumbled to it out of pure curiosity, which is now forming into pure jealousy (seriously living the dream life). This dude has it all on lock. One of the best blog's out there for surf, art, traveling and everything in between.

Just finished Cat's Cradle, can't wait to read more of mr. Vonneguts literature.

Wealth of Nations, great bedtime reading.

Tich Nhat Hanh's Tamming the Tiger Within....a series of beautiful meditations on caring for, and tending to your anger.

Atlas Shrugged---------Going to be at it for awhile. Maybe 'til the end of the year

Stick with Fountain Head. Atlas shrugged is like beating a dead horse after 20 pages. Better yet read Anthem. Gives the gist of the other two in a hundred pages.

Then if you're not a fascist by the end of it, good on ya.
