What book are you currently reading

...and what book are you looking foward to read next?

Current:
Germs, Guns and Steel. A very short summary of the history of our entire species. Real interesting book and easy to follow. So far its been good but I'm only on chapter 2.

Next:
Killing Rommel. About British special forces and their plan to assasinate Rommel. I really like Pressfield and this sounds like an awesome book.

Hey, I just now finished THE TALISMAN by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Like thirty minutes ago. Quite a page-turner. The story is okay, and I can see its influences on the show LOST.

Very good book.

I'm reading The Secret History by Procopius. Details the sordid side of Emperor Justinian and his General Belisarius in 6th century Byzantium. Basically Justinian was an asshole, and both of their wives were whores.

Next I'm going to read The Blind Side by Michael Lewis.

You should read "with the old breed." check out the reviews and you know know what i'm talking about. I'm reading the art of war combined with how to start a business. The book takes the art of war and converts it to business knowledge. It's k.

The Return of the Political. Chantal Mouffe.
Itīs a bright essay about citizenship. And itīs kind of hard.
