2006 Reading List
Sunday, January 29th, 2006 07:58 pmToday I went to Borders to use the gift card I'd won at a party last November. I found two very interesting non-fiction books and then decided to peruse the sci-fi section to see if they had the latest in my favorite series by Lois McMaster Bujold. I was thrilled to see "Diplomatic Immunity" in paperback and snatched it up. Of course, my total was ~$10 more than my gift card, but I didn't mind. I don't actually shop for books all that often. When I got home, I started perusing DI and it seemed really familiar. After two chapters, I decided to go check out my bookshelf. Yep. Just as I had feared - there was DI in hardcover. Dammit! Goldy = Dork.
All of the following are currently in my possession. My Amazon wish list has a bunch of stuff on it I'd also love to read, but I haven't gotten around to acquiring.
Books Currently in Progress:
Emotional Alchemy (How the Mind can Heal the Heart) by Tara Bennett-Goleman
Community Organizing Theory and Practice by Douglas P. Biklen
The Physics of Superheros by James Kakalios
Books to Read:
The Best American Science Writing, 2005, editor Alan Lightman (all kinds of articles, including something interesting on stem cells)
Invisible Acts of Power (Channeling Grace in Your Everyday Life) by Caroline Myss
If You Want to Write (A Book about Art, Independence and Spirit) by Brenda Ueland
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
Flight Into Danger by E. K. Barber (recommended and loaned by a friend - I may not ever get to this one)
Books to Reread:
Apparently, "Diplomatic Immunity" by Lois McMaster Bujold (I'd been thinking of rereading Ethan of Athos or Mirror Dance last week)
Original Blessing by Matthew Fox
It'll be interesting to see which of these get finished and which get bumped for others that aren't even listed yet. As I've mentioned before, '7 Habits' has been languishing in the stack (which I keep under the bed) for a long time. 'Emotional Alchemy' was started first of the 3 in progress. Does 'DI' count as started after 2 chapters, when I've already read it?
