    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.

    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!

    Anyway, I moved on to some lighter reading with Charles Dickens "A Tale of Two Cities"

    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 grading

    Never got around to Atlas Shrugged, but the lady fan just surprised me with a copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies... Currently working my way through it.

    Atlas Shrugged is one long, boring read! I know the objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand is a very popular subject right now, but do yourself a favor and get the cliff notes. Whether you agree or disagree with her philosophy, once you read that book, you'll probably regret having spent the time.

    However, that's just one man's opinion. (One man who's most recent read is the new issue of Maxim.)
