The CRC Handbook of Solid State Electrochemistry
I won't post any spoilers but I'm currently on "Chapter 7: Electrochemistry of Mixed Ionicâ€"Electronic Conductors" and the book is building towards a climax that will shake you to the core and make you question everything you thought you knew about yourself, the human soul, and the mobility of ions through crystal structures.

I'm currently in love with the Percy Jackson & The Olympians Series, but thats just 'cause I'm a mythology fan.
Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri
After this I'll be all Jhumpa'd out! D: What a fantastic author.

DEATH ON THE ICE by Cassie Brown. Basically a true story about these newfies who get stranded on ice in the north eastern coast in a cluster-fuck of a blizzard. What were they doing out there? The most dangerous job in the industry as of 1914: seal hunting.

I always feel bad because I recently read so little and you guys are zooming through books.
Don't feel all that bad; I only recently started reading more frequently. I'd have to say that, before about half a year ago, I had only read about 6 books in my entire life. I'm 21 now...6 books throughout 20 years is horrible.
5 Minds for the Future by Howard Gardner. It's psychology and management merged! Next up is Outliers by Malcom Gladwell. If it's anywhere near as good as Blink, I'll be estatic.
I've been having trouble sleeping lately so while sitting up in bed at night I've been re-reading one of my all-time favorites, A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. If you haven't heard of this book I seriously recommend it, it's one of the funniest things I have ever read. It's set in New Orleans in the 60s and follows the adventures of a morbidly obese 30 year old Medievalist shut-in who lives with his mom. The dialogue is incredibly genuine and all the characters are solid gold. If I were to teach a class about how to rock at writing, this would be a required textbook.
It's good.
It's good.
I'm rereading the Beano Annual 2000.
I wonder if it's worth anything these days.
edit: hahahhh 1p on amazon.

I'm reading Nightmares and Dreamscapes by Stephen King.
Why not?
To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books, as well. It's also one of the few books in High School that I noticed the average teenager enjoying (fuck you, Jane Eyre).

To Kill a Mockingbird is great, and yes, it's one of the few books we were assigned in middle and high school that didn't seem like a deliberate attempt to make us hate reading. Sorry, English teachers, I just can't see how the hell a teenager in this day and age is supposed to relate to Sense and Sensibility or Moby Dick.
