Are you enjoying it? I just started Susan Cain's "Quiet" a non-fiction book subtitled "The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking."

Laura and I have been doing the reading associated with a Coursera class on Modernity.

It's interesting and entertaining. We're currently looking at The Communist Manifesto.

I am reading the first book of the Parasol Protectorate; I'll have four more after that. And I have just read Etiquette & Espionage. Oh, and I am almost done with Lady Chatterley's lover.

"Winter's Heart" by Robert Jordan. I'm working on re-reading his Wheel of Time series, then catching up on the ones I haven't read in there yet.

Mark Forsyth: The Etymologicon (gemel edition)

StereoNacht: Are you enjoying it? I wondered about it and I DLed a preview but didn't buy it (and can't remember why).

Yes, I did. It's teen literature, but it's a word that stands on itself with an interesting take on vampires and werewolf, with definitely a steampunk taste, although it stays subdued to the story.

reading Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, having recently finished the last of the Wheel of Time series that he wrote following Robert Jordan's untimely death.
