Just finished Andre Sponville's "Little Book of Atheist Spirituality" which I found disappointing to say the least. Most of the arguments the author used seemed to be too subjective. He was basing his beliefs on what he wants rather than what seems most likely. It was also very self-contradictory. Some of the arguments Sponville used against God and traditional religion can be used against the "All" and mysticism he tries to advertise in this book.

Anyways, onto "Stephen Hawkings - His Life and Work" by Kitty Ferguson. This is one I've been itching to read.

Research Methods in the Social Sciences - School has taken over my life :cry: It's been about three years since I've read a book as recreation haven't even finished the last one I brought (Guardian of the Horizon- Elizabeth Peters. Love her Amelia Peabody series)

Just finished A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, was for school but LOVED it, became one of my favorite books.
Next up, i have the whole wheel of time package from R Jordan waiting for me (got it this new year) but phew will need to wait after my exams to begin that one, 12529 pages... :)

A few weeks ago I embraced my inner teenager and read the Hunger Games trilogy, it was nice.

As of yesterday:

I believe this series is going to take a while, the five books combine to around 6000 pages or something on the ipad e-book format. Would have started earlier but the last few weeks at the university were too hectic and I hardly had time to do anything other than study. Now with the four month break I have nothing but time on my hands so I started reading the first one yesterday.

@Rmpr, what on earth is that? Never knew such a novel even existed, as a fan of the LotR trilogy I'm inclined to read that one too if it's any good. Once you're done with it, report back!

Let me know how this is, I've never watched the series but only heard good things about it. Might be my next book purchase.

I will tell you once I finish, so many spoilers I am tempted to tell you, but I will only judge the final product. :D
