The Silmarillion by Tolkien. I read it this time of year, every year for the last 15 years. And I still have to use the appendix, because everyone has at least three different names that are used depending on whether they are speaking to a Man, Elf, or Dwarf. |

A friend just lent me The Silmarillion, along with C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letter. Gonna start reading them soon (in expense of AC:R, I guess) |

The Undead by Dick Teresi. I saw it at the library and picked it up thinking it was about zombies, but the subtitle is 'Organ Harvesting, the Ice-Water Test, Beating-Heart Cadavers - How Medicine Is Blurring the Line Between Life and Death'. The concept of brain death was created by a 13 man committee at Harvard in 1968 who laid out a criteria for declaring someone 'brain dead'. There were no experiments or studies undertaken prior to doing this and no data is cited, but it has since become the basis for most of the U.S. state laws regarding brain death. So that was disturbing. It's a very good book that I recommend everybody read. |

Stone of Tears, by Terry Goodkind. He's good, but he makes his books so long that after a while I tend to just want it to be over with so I can get on with the next one. |

Wikipedia. On July 4th, scientists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered a particle that could likely be the Higgs Boson particle. And just to understand this thing I have to read up on subatomic particles such as quarks and their up down top bottom charm strange mechanic and photons and such. From what I understand, this particle generates a field that explains / generates mass itself. |

I've currently started on the Silmarillion. Find it loads harder to read than LOTR, but I think it's quite interesting to hear the backstory of so many of the creatures that appears in both LOTR and the Hobbit. Tolkien really knew how to make an universe come to life. |

I usually read a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but sometimes I get fixed on an author. It's Iris Murdoch at the moment. - An Unofficial Rose: began reading it quite by accident, got stuck. A really interesting reporting concept but not carried through completely; feels unbalanced in the second half but that does not ruin it. - The Italian Girl: good at the start, then lost in melodrama, and a sort of happy end to boot. Cheap surprises, unlike the first one. Nope. - The Sea, the Sea: just started reading it. |

I'm currently re-reading the Alchemyst and Tunnels series of books. I'm a real sucker for fictional works, especially if they involve some sort of scientific aspect. |

Currently reading Bitterblue from graceling triology. The series is good, but this book is the best so far from the two other earlier books. I love medieval settings, all of the three books have unexpected turns of events, but bitterblue makes me want to read it always, as my time permits. |

I just checked out Sweet Stuff by Donna Kauffman from the library; it looks like a cheap romance about a girl who makes a lot of cupcakes. I will justify this by saying it is a "beach read." And I bought Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs from Books-A-Million yesterday. I'm always looking for good mermaid books, and this one looks really amazing.

Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk. Also, I've never really just sat down and read all of the Lord of the Rings series cover to cover, so I'm doing that now, in addition to the Silmarillion. |
