Presently I am reading 'Think: A compelling introduction to philosophy' by Simon Blackburn and 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath. Both are very interesting reads.

Oh what are they about?
And I'm reading Brethren by Robyn young. So far its brilliant, though only read the first 100 pages or there abouts. Its set during the crusades and concentrates on two mai ncharacters, one a slave warrior turned general in the east fighting against the christians and mongols, the other is a young boy training to be a Knights Templar. Brilliantly made characters and really interesting so far, i just hope it keeps it up.

'Think' explains some popular views on philosophy-- like Descartes's and Nzeitsche's (sp?). 'The Bell Jar' is about a journalist in New York and her plunge into insanity.
That book sounds interesting. Nothing like reading about the Knights Templar to get me excited.
