I'm reading a concise history of the Russian revolution and I'm starting a book on Krakatoa next. I like Turtledove as well, the whole lot, if you like his stuff you might try SM Stirling.

you might try SM Stirling.
Yes, that's another one of Dave's favorite authors. You might be able to discern that he is the real reader here.

Well, I was reading Why Religion Matters by Huston Smith, but frankly in spite of the fact that I enjoyed The World's Religions in college I find him a bit long winded, and I'm not sure if it matters if I finish it. I also picked up Boomeritis by Ken Wilbur, and not only am I not particularly interested in fiction these days, but I am also kind of bored with him to be honest. I think I may be getting more impatient in my old age, some people do have interesting things to say but they just take so dang long to say it.. Maybe I should go get some Cliff notes?

Well I am re reading Ellen G Whites "Early Writings" and Nichol's "Ellen G White and her Critics". The latter book is an apologetics book explaining Ellen G Whites failed prophecies and doctrinal shifts.
Right now I am listening to a guy on the Lou Gentile radio show who is in contact with a female alien from the Zeta Reticuli who insists she wants to have sex with him and produce an ( another) alien / human hybrid.

"Secrets of Shamanism:Tapping the Spirit Power Within You" just because I can:)
I'm looking for a Dean Koontz book that I think is called "Snowman", but I'm not sure, and I haven't been able to find it. It's about a guy with a disease that makes him extremely sensitive to sunlight.
I'm also looking for that book on Eleanor of Aquataine, but so far, no luck:)
"Ahab's Wife" is very good.

Any of the books by Jostein Gaarder, especially Through A Glass Darkley, about a young girls meeting her imminent death with the help of an angel, Vita Brevis, a supposed translation of letters to St. Augustine from his mistress, and of course, Sophies World.
Also anything by Susan Hill.
