“The World is Flat” by Thomas Friedman. I highly recommend it so far.

Oh, and a variety of tech manuals for my job

The Best Military Science Fiction of the 20th Century, edited by Harry Turtledove.

I bought it for my son, and now he's addicted to Turtledove. It's got some "lightweight" stuff (Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider) and some classics (Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card).

Nice brain candy after a day of Free Republic.

God’s Secretaries by Adam Nicolson. It’s about Jacobean England, the person of James, and the Translators of the KJV. Also The Origin of Species, which I’ve put on hold while I work through the more interesting book.

How come it took me 51 years to discover this great book?

Because it takes 50 years to trudge through Ayn's redundant sermons!

Yeah, but it's worth it.
