Feel free to share with us any book you're currently reading.


Personally, I'm about halfway through The Book of Lists: Horror. It's basically filled with bunches and bunches of Top 10 lists from people like Stephen King, Eli Roth and Ray Bradbury. Good stuff if you're a horror fan.

I'm in the middle of The Killer Inside Me, and I'm also almost finished with Dark Delicacies, which is a compilation of horror short stories.

I am reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again. Also listening to book 6 before the movie comes out to refresh my memory. Seems I tend to read books that my kids want to listen to me read as well. I would like to read Twilight.

The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano. Written as a sort of diary following a small group of wannabe avant garde poets in Mexico.

I know, I'm about two years behind on this one, but I'm just getting into the recent boom in Mexican / Central American literature.

Bolano's book is fascinating, erotic, digusting, and engrossing. I'm reminded of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer crossed with some of the lesser known Kerouac stuff . . . like Pic or Satori in Paris.

Can't put it down.

Hyperspace by Michio Kaku

Don't ask me why. My nephew wanted one of these books for Christmas, so I got one of my own: Parallel Worlds. Then I got Hyperspace the other day. It's kind of interesting, about all those wacky theories of the universe that I don't really get.

So far, Hyperspace talks about the idea that we can perceive 3 dimensions, but the forces in our universe makes sense (or their math is easier for physicists to work with) in higher dimensions, so physicists mostly believe there are higher dimensions we can't see. So hyperspace is a 4-dimensional space that exists alongside our world. We can't see into (or even visualize) this extra dimension, but 4th-dimensional beings could see us. In fact, 4th-dimensional beings would have amazing powers in our world, because they would have an extra dimension to work in.

(For the purposes of the discussion, we're only talking about "spatial" dimensions, so time wouldn't be the 4th dimension in this example. If you assume that time is the 4th dimension, then you would have to place the 5th dimension in the example above.)

One illustration is to imagine a 2-dimensional being existing on your kitchen table. These beings can't see us, because they can't peer up at us. In fact, they would have no concept of "up" or "down", because their dimension has no height.

Because it can only move in two dimensions, you could imprison one of these beings by drawing a circle around it. But it would be easy for us to help this poor theoretical dude escape from his prison, by simply pulling him out of the circle through the third dimension. It would appear to his 2-D jailers that he just disappeared into thin air. When we put him on the table again, it would look like he simply reappeared.

Long story short, a 4-dimensional being could do similar things in our world. I find it fascinating, because all that stuff isn't science fiction, but real science these days.

I would definitely recommend Mr. Kaku's books for anyone interested in those kinds of subjects, because he specializes in making the subject somewhat accessible to everyday people. If you've seen a documentary about Einstein or physics in the last few years, you've probably seen him. He's the Japanese-looking guy with the wavy gray hair.

I'm reading How To Talk Dirty and Influence People by Lenny Bruce and The Sickness Unto Death by Søren Kierkegaard

Currently I looking to read health training books .I really excited to know more about Lenny Bruce books
