I just started reading The Odyssey - I’d read pieces of it for school, but not all the way through. It’s very pretty. You don’t really get a sense of that with the little chiseled-out bits they put in textbooks, I guess.

Hey, I’m reading that too. But I’m reading for school, and I don’t get to read past where the teacher tells us to stop at. I also like it, but I’m not that far into it yet and I still think that the Iliad was better.

Cool, I just downloaded this book a week ago but haven’t gotten into it yet.

I’m a very unorganized reader; I’ll read a few books at a time and just take forever:

Currently:

Now and Forever by Ray Bradbury
Johnathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach
The Quest of the Holy Grail translated by P.M. Matarasso

Have recently read:
Moby Dick, by Herman Melville
The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchhausen, by Rudolf Erich Raspe.

Currently reading:
Ficciones, by Jorge Luis Borges, and he is a freaking genius. You may want to have a look at one of the stories in there in particular.

Ficciones is sublime.

tox: I made the whole forum read Ficciones once or twice. By the whole forum I’m being an italo-Brazilian and meaning I made a couple more people than the cosmos had planned at first read Ficciones. It was book of the month and all; also sneaks into the Cloud whenever appropriate. I believe I made Win Laik Pya read Calvino on a similar context? (Si una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore, this time: because I’m too hip to force Città down peoples throats without ensuring they acquire the taste for Calvino first ).

I just read an awesome book put out by Cory Doctrow of BoingBoing in 2007. It reminds me of 1984 a bit, but instead of just predicting a downfall, it shows a kid’s effort to reverse the changes taking place in the city around him. As time goes on and these National Security types keep getting crazier, the actions in this story keep getting closer to reality, and I think the book was written in such a way as to highlight that. In any case, I picked it up earlier today at lunch, thinking it might be an interesting read, and I couldn’t put it down until I had finished it cover to cover. Definitely something I recommend you read.

Seventeen-year-old techno-geek “w1n5t0n” (aka Marcus) bypasses the school’s gait-recognition system by placing pebbles in his shoes, chats secretly with friends on his IMParanoid messaging program, and routinely evades school security with his laptop, cell, WifFnder, and ingenuity. While skipping school, Markus is caught near the site of a terrorist attack on San Francisco and held by the Department of Homeland Security for six days of intensive interrogation. After his release, he vows to use his skills to fight back against an increasingly frightening system of surveillance. Set in the near future, Doctorow’s novel blurs the lines between current and potential technologies, and readers will delight in the details of how Markus attempts to stage a techno-revolution.

It’s available free online in almost every conceivable format here.

Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge and Howard Rheingold. I haven’t read this book seriously for roughly a decade at least. I’ll never forget the day I first saw LaBerge’s first book in the Decatur Library (sigh)

[Iluminada]

I’m reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. He has a quirky imagination that I love.

[Drumm]

None at the moment, but I’ve been trying to find John Green’s “Looking for Alaska” for several months now. I really want to read it again.

Go figure, it’s due to be returned at the library on the day that I leave for camp. xD
