Due to the evolution thread I just pulled James Lovelock's Gaia Hypothesis off the shelf to reread.

Been on a reading binge recently. The last month has seen me read Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan, Phantom by Terry Goodkind, Life of Pi by Yann Martel, A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, and I'm currently working on Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond (for the second time).
I'd recommend them all except Phantom. But then again, maybe I'm just getting too old for fantasy novels. :doctor:
If I had to pick one to be the best of the bunch, Life of Pi would be the one. Surprisingly, even though Oprah recommended it, A Million Little Pieces was really good. I guess even the queen of bad taste has to get one right every now and again

While looking for Gaia, I happend across A Bright Shining Lie, the best book about what went wrong in Vietnam, it's quite timely today and worth a re-read so Gaia will have to wait.
I love threads like this . . . I've got all kinds of ideas for the next few months' reading.
Life of Pi was very interesting book. I'm still not sure what to make of it.

That's what I loved about the book. Such an unusual situation, and yet oddly believable. And then, right after you're convinced it is 100% real, he throws a wrench in...
Not your usual story, but entertaining none the less.
