over winter break i discovered a new passion for reading. i'm currently reading a few books. the one i read most often is Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville, and the supplementary reading Tocqueville in America by George Pierson; but those are for a seminar class. independently, i've gotten most involved with Christian Apologetic writing and i'm reading Michael Licona's Paul meets Muhammad which is a theoretical debate between Paul the Apostle and Muhammad the Prophet as well as my second Lee Strobel book The Case for the Real Jesus. all are really good books. Anyone else been doing some reading?

I'm reading Michael Chrichtons "Next." I love his books, so this should be pretty good.

Currently in the middle of The Chronicles of Narnia for the second time. Regulary read Footprints of Thunder and Thunder in Time. Finished Harry Potter series for the second time. I'm also a big Clive Cussler fan the Dirk Pitt series. Also as always in the middle of any number of airbrushing books.

Text books mostly right now. Mindblindness: An Essay on Autism and Theory of Mind (for a presentation). Counseling Children and Adolescents. Assessment for Intervention. Teaching students with severe disabilities. Clinical interviews for children and adolescents. Conducting school-based functional behavioral assessments. Plus a multitude of articles on the different topics. Of course, that's when I actually do the readings for class.
I'd love to get back into leisure reading. I enjoy philosophy type stuff, fictional works that require thought while reading, etc. But I don't have the time nor energy to do those while in grad school full time and working full time. So they wait until 2009 when I graduate.

currently reading "ninja" by eric van lustbader
Tried that one years ago but couldn't get into it despite how cool ninjas are. Right now, just plowing through my newest issue of Jp magazine (Jeep mag). Just finished Patterson's "Mary Mary." Good read. Goes fast, just like all of Patterson's Alex Cross books.

Lustbader's books take a long time to develop, and seem to require an understanding of Oriental culture. While the main character is gaijin, there is a very Eastern bent to the whole development of character and story. Action scecnes are few and far between. I read Ninja, White Ninja, Black Heart and The Miko. His writing style is definately not for everyone.
Having said all that I am currently reading Metal Hammer magazine. 8-)

LOL.
That holley one can be a bit of a boring read, but compared to the Rochester Carb book it's an edge of your seat novel. I'm running through it now.
