Everywhere You Turn by The Bad Plus

I've heard these two are awesome. Did I hear right?

I didn't say anything about measuring the quality of what you're reading. What I mean by progress is your comprehension speed and the overall volume of content taken in. I find that the more I read, the better I am at reading and can comprehend and decode information a lot faster. For...

It's not a bad idea. I got this reading plan from the youth pastor at my church that has you read the Old Testament every day and the New Testament every other day. It's at least 2-3 chapters per day and 4-7 chapters every other day, so you get the entire Bible. I see a lot of year reading plans...

Hah no. I recorded when I finished the books. Not extremely accurate, I know, but the point is that I read all of those books this year. Maybe I'll do something different for 2009.

I gave my mom a gargantuan collection of Jane Austen books (one of those one volume deals), and my dad Outrage! by Dick Morris. Ever since I started devouring books my parents have as well. It's awesome.

"For a week Mr. R Childan had been anxiously awaiting the mail". The Man In The High Castle by Philip K. Dick.

I try to alternate between fiction and non-fiction. I'm really trying to broaden my horizons in literature, so I'll pick up something that I'm not sure I'll be completely interested in sometimes.

I'll usually only be working on one book at a time, but sometimes when I'm in the middle of a big, thick, occasionally dry non-fiction book, I'll take a break and read a quick Bradbury or Clarke or something. In fact, in the middle of The World Is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman, I read the entire...

Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card--After the twist ending of Ender's Game I was like "Alright I must know what happens next. There were parts that I didn't mind, but most of it was terrible. Especially the end; I think practically every character ended up bursting into tears. The Light...

One Hell of a Gamble by Aleksandr Fursenko and Timothy Naftali.
