very good book, have it. Read it about 3-4 times since I got it. Talks about how happiness in itself shouldn't be the main goal of a society.

Just finished "Damned" by Chuck Palahniuk. It sucked. Now reading "Cities of the Plain" by Cormac McCarthy.

It was only 240 pages. I kept hoping it'd get better.

It didn't.

Currently reading "Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time" and as soon as I finish up that mother, I'm going to start on Ron Paul's "The Revolution."

this thread reminds me i need to pick up on my reading again  :-\

last one I read was The Mindfield by Robert Ornstein.

For years, Americans have been seeking rational, analytical answers to despair and anxiety. But now, this rational Western perception of consciousness has been challenged by an Eastern discipline which brings into sharp focus the travesty and deception underlying many of the contemporary awareness movements.
However, the excesses of the self-improvement packagers have obscured what may be of real value. Meditation may be a valid method for eliminating stress, but are maharishis and franchised growth centers the requisites for achieving peace of mind? How is it that promoters have supplanted real teachers in the realm of consciousness? Ornstein extends his argument to the sacrosanct psychiatric profession, as well as to meditation, parapsychologies, shamanism, and the numerous trademarked "awareness systems."
Yet, it is also Ornstein's intent to combat the easy criticisms of the super-rationalists who dismiss every new development as the irresponsible invention of the "guru-of-the-month club." He offers not only the findings of extensive scientific research on the brain but the valuable discoveries of personal experience as well. There is no one who is better qualified to assess modern America's approach to matters of the mind than Robert Ornstein, and he does so with clarity, wit, and utter persuasiveness.

Just finished 'And so it Goes,' a biography of Kurt Vonnegut, by Charles J Shields. Not a great biography by any means, as most family members declined to participate, but Kurt does not come off well, at all.

This is an interesting book. A Briton's take on American politics in the first decade of the new century.
