Didn't get any reading done this week, so still reading:

  • Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin.
  • The Passage by Justin Cronin

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Probably going to get called a liar but I actually finished War and Peace. I remember the get smart tv show and they had a running gag that no one made it thru the book. I said when I was younger challenge accepted.

I honestly loved War and Peace. It was so beautiful and rich, I had no problem finishing it. I did need to take time remembering all the characters, but it got easier after the first 200 pages.

The book I had a hard time finishing (and only finished because it was known as the book nobody ever finishes) was Gravity's Rainbow. That shit was nearly unreadable.

Heh, congratulations on finishing the book! Any reviews?

And what are you going to start next?
