I am slotting in some non fiction before I go back to work. I am reading 'The Life and Death of St Kilda' by Tom Steel. It tells the history of the breakdown in culture of the people of the Hebridean island of St Kilda and their request for evacuation in 1930. The island became a nature reserve in the 1950's and is now on the World Heritage List made up by UNESCO. An exodus like this could happen to any island, country or planet and this book gives an environmental and cultural warning to reflect that.

I just finished The Stars, Like Dust and am taking a break from Asimov--reading Niven and Pournell's The Mote In God's Eye--but am looking forward to finishing off the Empire stories, which weren't quite as satisfying as the Robot books, and then re-reading the Foundation series. I started doing this as a precursor to reading Foraward the Foudation (which I haven't read yet) and figure I'll include the Foundation books written just a couple years back by Greg Bear, and the otheres.

I finished 1984 about a month ago and I'm now on Dante's Inferno. I think when I'm done with that, I'll try a change of pace and move towards some poetry- maybe Whitman's Leaves of Grass...
Or I just might read Faust again. I love that play.

Resurrection first book of Wartorn by Robert Asprin and Eric del Carlo. Still in the scene setting part which is going on overlong but quite interesting so far. I've got the second one too.

I have a short attention span so can never read just one book at a time. I like to keep a myriad of books around to be able to read no matter what my mood. So, right now, I am reading: IN Search of the Craic (about music in Ireland - funny/entertaining/and somehow informative), A Night to Remember (about the Titanic - lways a gripping topic), The Hobbit (a favorite I read periodically), The Ghost (a romance), and The Alchemist (moral fiber).

I guess you've probably read this already but if not it sounds right up your street... The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson
Its a science fiction/conspiracy theory mindfu*k that'll really make you thinking HARD...especially with its relevance to recent world events..
