WOTCHA READIN NOW?!
Just finished: The Physics of Superheroes

World War Hulk
Workin on: A to Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers
What Does a Martian Look Like?- The Science of Extraterriestrial Life

Ya'd think I'd read one maybe two books at a time, but perhaps I'm just that talented--or just all over the place mentally.

I knew Black Dossier was coming out soon. Def. have to pick that up. There's also this coffee table kinda book out called Spider-man the Icon that looks really really cool. But it's like fifty bucks, ah well maybe a Christmas gift.

Hey $lim, how much did you love the three musketeers? Quite a bit. Dumas is one of my favorite writers anyway as Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite book of all time ( which it's about time for my annual run back through it) , in fact I started a Dumas thread like a week ago that quickly tanked.. But yeah I liked it alot, Iron Mask I'll get started on in a few days.

Right now I'm reading The Viability of a Sacrificial Theology of Atonement: A Critique and Analysis of Traditional and Transformational Views by Thomas E. Long. As you can probably guess by the name it's the doctoral dissertation of one of the professors in my school's Religion Department. It's good, very dense but readable. Somehow I get the feeling he's not going to come to much of a point. But I like the summation of views. Sadly it really is a subject that requires more writing than he has down.
Since that's short, I don't know what my next read is. I have to do some stuff for my term papers so I haven't had much time to read for pleasure. I'm thinking of picking up The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt.

we're reading Cyrano De Bergerac for my English class.
From time to time I'll pick up and re-read Watchmen.
I don't want to start another book on my own until I get the wrestlecrap book of lists.

Just finished "Gather yourselves together" by Philip Dick and "the Ghostwriter" by Robert Harris. Two decent readings, but I both a bit disappointing, as I liked better other works by them.
I don't really know what to read now. I'll probably buy some classic in English or Norwegian off the internet.
