I've compiled a list of books that I'm currently reading, read, or started to read. I may have forgotten books somewhere in there, but here's the bulk of it:
Currently reading:
-A Short History of Nearly Everything, Bill Bryson
Books I’ve read this year:
-To Timbuktu, Mark Jenkins
-The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins
-The Elegant Universe, Brian Greene
-Letter to a Christian Nation, Sam Harris
-The 5 People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom
-The Shack, William Young
-Keeping the Faith, Jodi Picoult
-Memory Keeper’s Daughter, Kim Edwards
-Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert
-Demian, Herman Hesse
-The General and His Labyrinth, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
-Education of Little Tree, Forrest Carter
-Satanic Verses, Salman Rushdie
-Making of a Chef, Michael Ruhlman
-Monique and the Mango Rains, Kris Holloway
-Guns, Germs and Steel, Jared Diamond
-Consolations of Philosophy, Alain de Botton
-Singing Neanderthals, Steven Mithen
Books I started but didn’t finish, with comments:
-Godel, Escher, Bach, Douglas Hofstadter(about halfway through, it got into way too much computer science)
-Stones for Ibarra, Harriet Doerr (good writing, but I didn’t care about the characters)
-People’s History of the United States, Howard Zinn (simply got interested in other books)
-Steppenwolf, Herman Hesse (had high hopes, but too dense to penetrate)
It was certainly nice having all of this time to do pleasure reading, something I had been seriously behind on for many years.
