What are you reading right now?

What book or books are on your bedside table this week?

I'm currently re-reading "The True Believer - Thoughts On The Nature of Mass Movements" by Eric Hoffer.

Very insightful look into the nature of political fanaticisim - and political fanatics.

A Game Of Thrones

The new Common English Bible, Brain Bugs and Game of Thrones. I'm kind of add right now.

Fiction: The Game of Thrones series.

Pretty enjoyable middle ages novels, but also a lot of political intrigue. The author does a good job immersing you into the world and I find myself wanting to use the courtly talk of the characters.

The Hunger Games series, supposedly for young teens, but I find it much more deep than the Twilight series, especially when looking at celebrity, morality, ethics questions, and political gamesmanship

And also a novella about a alternate history where Joan of Arc survives and forms her own religion.

The HBO series of Game Of Thrones stayed pretty close to the book.

Slums of Aspen

Aspen Colorado - one of the most elite addresses in the world - has a problem.

They rely on a large contingent of migrants to cut the lawns, clean the hotel rooms, cook the food, and care for their animals.

Aspen - home of the world's intellectual and financial elite - self-regarded as a forward looking, progressive thinking mecca - instigated a limit on the number of migrants they'll allow within city limits.

"We Are All Weird" by Seth Godin

Imperfect Strangers - Stuart Woods

Playboy. LOL

A Dance with Dragons. I guess HBO sold a lot of those books. I've had to wait for each one to be written since the Game of Thrones. I'm kind of pissed that it looks like there's going to be a sixth and seventh book. Just finish the story! I may have to give up on this series and author.
