Book Reading Update

I'm afraid I will have to temporarily pass on Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I downloaded this as an audio book from bit torrent, and the mp3 files were so miss-labeled that I couldn't get them in order. This resulted in the story jumping all over the place, so I decided to tackle this one the old fashioned way and actually read it. Barnes and Noble, here I come.

Instead I am starting The World Is Flat on audio book and The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress in paperback. The first I have always wanted to read because it got so much hype when it was first published. The second is a recommendation from my friend Richie, and it's described as both 'political' and 'sci-fi,' which should at least be interesting, although it clearly has libertarian themes and I'm not too sure I lean that way. I suppose we'll see.

On a final note, I completed Darkness Visible this morning. It was my second time reading it, but at 96 pages it's a light read. It's relatively heavy content though, so it's only recommended if you are into psychology, psychosis, and the strength of the human spirit. I find it fascinating that it's a first-person account of manic depression, but it might be pretty dark for some.

That's my update for now. Comments and recommendations on my reading choices always welcome. :)
