Catching Up

I've once again fallen greatly behind in posting. Here's what I've been reading and the date I finished it.

10/1/09 Why People Believe Weird Things by Michael Shermer

10/4/09 Read half of Fakers by Pete Maliszewski. Stories were good, but the writing was awful. I had to quit.

10/4/09 The Dangerous Book for Boys by Conn and Hal Iggulden. Awesome and incredibly fun reference book for people of all ages. Getting my own copy for Christmas.

10/14/09 The Blind Side: The Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. Now a major motion picture. I'll read anything Lewis writes. He's an amazing reporter and storyteller.

10/22/09 The Jason Voyage by Tim Severin. In 1984 Severin recreated the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts in their quest for the Golden Fleece. This meant mostly rowing from Greece to Georgia on the far end of the Black Sea in an open, single-masted galley.

10/31/09 The Guinea Pig Diaries by A.J. Jacobs

11/18/09 Superfreakonomics by Stephen Levitt and Steven Dubner. Not as good as Freakonomics, but still pretty great.

11/27/09 The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett

11/30/09 Only read about 1/3 of Tim Severin's Sinbad Voyage. Nothing wrong with the book but ran out of time with the interlibrary loan.
