Interesting stuff.
I'm excited about starting "Dog on It" by Spencer Quinn.
It's a detective novel and the entire book is taken from the perspective of a dog.
Just finished Venetian Masque by Rafael Sabatini. Don't know what I'm gonna read next... maybe Atlas Shrugged
I've heard Atlas Shrugged is a good read but it's a bear to get through. It's taken my fiance about 7 months thus far. Let me know what you think!

It's finals time!!!:smiley35:
About to start reading 30 students' finals on Ethics and 30 students' papers on Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals and Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals!!!! YAY!!!! Anybody else want to grade for me? You can just give them all C-'s to C+'s in a random fashion.
Ugh... Philosophy? No thanks... At least you didn't say the dreaded names of Foucault and Derrida. I get sick of hearing about those two. Anyway, I feel for you on the gradingQuote:

However, that's just one man's opinion. (One man who's most recent read is the new issue of Maxim.)
I'm about to start Stephen King's "The Stand" again.
