Basics of Finnish geology by some finnish guy whos name you can't pronounce as a foreigner. Yes, you are a foreigner, accept it.

I am on a bit of a three book marathon at the moment:

Taliban - Ahmed Rashid
The Age of Revolution - Eric Hobsbawm
On Writing Well - William Zinsser
 
Might is Right by Ragnar Redbeard Which Dean brought to my attention
The Klingons would be impressed by it, and I for the most part really enjoy it and agree, although Redbeard makes a fair share of assertions that aren't backed up. There are some tasty points brought up, especially regarding refusing to submit to the religious powers that be. The social darwinism is a different issue. I love the harshness though. "Jesus, true prince of Evil." Beautiful.

Just finished The Last Christian by David Cregory. I was snared by the title and even more so by the back cover, describing conspiracy theories involving mankind at the dawn of transhumanism. I was a little disappointed to watch it crumble to a pseudospiritual new-age "live through god, man"-hippy bullshit with some nanites sprinkled in for good measure. Fairly good read still, only this spiritualist-conclusion was a downer.

I've already started on The Final Revelation by Terroja Kincaid(TheAmazingAtheist). Got a little bit annoyed by a typo in the foreword, but I'm ready to let it slide as a deliberate attempt to piss people off. It would fit his style :p

Stephen Hawking & Leonard Mlodinow - The Grand Design
I read that. Don't really remember it though. Time to put it on my reread list.

Just finished Caleban's War and it is a great book. Started reading The Greatest Show on Earth again.

I've kinda run out of books at the moment, and I have no money to buy any new ones...

Fuck it, I guess I'll have to join the library...
