Currently I'm re-reading through the Marvel Civil War comics that I have. I read them in the wrong order the first time so I'm thinking re-reading them might allow me to understand parts that made no sense last time :P

I can honestly say that Pride and Prejudice is the only book I've never finished. I hated it that much.
Ugh, don't even get me started on that book >_>

I'm reading the Minnesota Driver's Manuel. Did you know the sidewalk is for "pedestrians only"? That seems just silly. I'll drive there if I so choose!

Now reading Pseudo-Dionysius' Divine Names, Mystical Theology, and Celestial Hierarchy.

Also, the Star Wars novels are awesome. Too bad I never have time to read them anymore. :(

Just got my reading list.

For school, I am reading (in addition to textbooks):

Sire, James W. The Universe Next Door: A Basic Worldview Catalog
Ruiz, Don Miguel The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
Berry, Wendell Sex, Economy, Freedom & Communi​ty: Eight Essays
McKibben, Bill Deep Economy
Pollan, Michael The Omnivore's Dilemma
Kierkegaard, Søren Fear and Trembling
Kierkegaard, Søren Philosophical Fragments
Hegel, GWF Phenomenology of Spirit
Marx, Karl Theses on Feuerbach
Marx, Karl The Communist Manifesto
Marx, Karl Economic Manuscripts of 1844
Marx, Karl Das Kapital

(If I get into the honors program, I drop the class with the first five for something else.)

I'm also going to be reading selected writings by Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Democritus, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Zeno, Lucretius, Epictetus, Marcus Arelius, Plotinus, and Thomas Aquinas over the course of the year.

This thread is nothing more than trying to find the most obscure book you are reading and posting about it in an attempt to "one up" other pretentious people.



SOOO, In my attempt to look smarter and more well-read than everyone else I am reading:
"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu
"The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith
"On the Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin,
"Reconstruction" by Eric Foner,
"The Three Trees" Retold by Angela Elwell Hunt (that one always makes me cry)

There.  Top THAT!

In my defense, most of the books I've posted so far are the only things I'm reading at the moment... yay for university. :P

Uh... you do realize that about half of those thinkers have no surviving texts for you to read, right?
