I'm switching between science, travel and fiction. Just in case anyone is interested: Science: http://www.listsofbests.com/list/2132 Travel: http://www.listsofbests.com/list/67735 Fiction: http://www.listsofbests.com/list/2127 Do you have book lists that you read from? What are they? -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

Hope you finish at least half of it. As for me, my current list includes a variety of work, interest, hobby titles. I try to keep it to a minimum so I can finish them all. I have this Business Math book I read whenever I am inside the powder room. -------------------- We are truly only as good as the lowest of our kind. ------- Utterly authentic small group walks and expeditions around the Philippines - Cultureight Travel ------ Lake Lanao in Mindanao is home of endemic cryprinids, the species found only in the lake and nowhere else in the world.

"Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a strange book. Some parts you can't put down, the others bored me to death...but nothing in the middle. That being said I learned a lot from reading it. I read many (but not all) of the books on your "fiction" list - to be honest I found many of the "classics" did not stand the test of time. I read "The Cat in the Hat" outloud several times a week - LOL. -------------------- Living Well Is The Best Revenge Going Down South to North Carolina Book Reviews: http://www.ManOfLaBook.com

EVERYONE that I talk to loves it so much and yes, I agree it is a good book, but I didn't find it so exciting as they did. Definitely it's a really easy read and you learn a lot from it, so I'm not saying that it sucks. And yes Martin I will have time to read all these books! I read at least 1.5 hours a day when I take the bus downtown! -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

Oh lucky people that use public transport! I only have a 10-minute driving commute, so have little time to read. In England I had a 90-minute bus ride to school every day, so in theory I had 3 hours a day for reading, but I had to take some time off that for chatting up the birds. -------------------- .

The travel one, I just started, so only one book is done from that one. And the fiction one, I'm half done! -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara
