I was sick today. Spent most of it in bed. So I read the Art of Happiness at Work.

I am now interested in the current Dalai Lama's type. I think he is an ISTP. Maybe an ESTP. Rather different than the stereotypical INFJ spiritual leader.

Currently, "The Cat's Quizzer" by Dr. Seuss, which I'm reading parallel to "Unix: The missing manual." I also just picked up a new dictionary, so I'll start into that later today.

Athenasius, On the Incarnation. I'm also midway through Lewis's Reflections on the Psalms.

I find that the journal Nature contains more stuff than I can profitably read in a typical week.

Istanbul: Memories and the City by Orhan Pamuk

(and [not] oddly enough, while I enjoy the book, I find myself spending much of my time musing on the authors' mbti type - as it's a memoir of sorts. :D I'm thinking INFP at the moment.)

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson.

just re-read Snow Crash, and was amazed again!

i own this (crypto) and the beginning hooked me but i can never seem to block off the time to complete it. i heard it is really good so i want to do it properly, and it seems i never get around to it.

OOH! Well, I was reading Glass by Ellen Hopkins. It didn't take long to read, sadly. Wish I could have savored it longer.:( I like those types of books, they're crazy and I love it.

I don't read often (I really need to) but I read 'Into The Wild' recently. I enjoyed it.

Selected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON

It contains a ton of his journal writings, along with a bunch of his essays and poems. I've only barely gotten started, but it's still really thoughtful stuff.
