What are you reading? I'm going through the British history. I strongly recommend to read Dan Jones, I've read his  books about The Wars of the Roses and The Knights Templars. I'm waiting to get his book The Plantagenets: The Kings and Queens Who Made England.

I'm currently reading a book called Why We Buy. It's about the psychology behind shopping, and a very interesting read if you like behavioral economics.

There's probably an existing thread for this though... :/

I'm a huge fan of Richard Dawkins' work. I've read almost everything by him.

I was told to create new threads so I create new threads....

The book you are reading sounds interesting. I can relate to the subject. I went to a beer festival in Germany and being drunk I began to buy things I regret now. 

I do like to read Books by Peter Ward, a professor in Paleontology. 

I like the  When Earth Nearly Died: The Greatest Mass Extinction of All Time by Micheal J Benton.

Right now, I'm re-reading Candida Moss' "The Myth of Persecution."

Xhristards do so love their little myths.

I have never read his stuff. His The God Delusion, got some reactions. I will see if I can find it (I don't want to buy every book I want read)

Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Malkeil. Trying to understand some basic finance and investing tips.

Tao: The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts and Al Chung-liang Huang. I'm a big fan of Watts and Taoist philosophy, finally getting around to reading his take on it.
