Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
This is the 2nd book in the Ender series. It is very different than Ender's Game in tone and style. I am enjoying it and OSC still has an economy of word that I enjoy.

I am finally at the end of "I Know This Much is True" by Wally Lamb! I have attempted to read this 3 times and always give up about 4 chapters in. I have about 40 pages left.
It was worth it! I am also reading "The Great Path of Awakening: The Classic Guide to Lojong, a Tibetan Buddhist Practice for Cultivating the Heart of Compassion". It's really wonderful and so very calming. My "bathroom book" is "Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune" by Bill Dedman. Fascinating so far!!

Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident
by Donnie Eichar In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened. i'm about 2/3 through so i can't give an opinion on the authors final explanation of the incident but i have found the book to be quite enthralling |

I'm finally back from my day, gazelling about the universe, and stopped by my favorite library to check out and bring home a few books, to read during the holidays. I found two at the library and one is on the way: I had to order it on an inter-library loan because not many people ordinarily want to read it, but I do.
Czeslaw Milosz: Legends of Modernity (1996; trans. in 2005), A Treatise On Poetry (begun in the winter of 1955, finished by spring of 1956; published and trans., in 2001), and The Captive Mind (1953; trans: Vintage International; NY, NY: 1990). Here's an interesting article (LINK), authored by Tony Judt, concerning Milosz' book, The Captive Mind, which appeared in The New York Review of Books (September 30th, 2010 issue).

 I just received his latest book We Are Water for my bday. I can't wait to have a free second to sit down and read. I'm craving one of those weekends where you can not look at the clock at all and get totally immersed into a book.
