On one of the other forums I regularly read, it has become a tradition to have a forum topic dedicated to listing the books that people have read throughout the year. Since the folks at Hatrack have a passing familiarity or so with reading, I thought that this might go over well here.
My list so far is as follows:
01. Wheel of Time 8: The Path of Daggers, Robert Jordan 02. The Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson, translated by Arthur Brodeur 03. The Serpent Mage, Greg Bear 04. Stardust, Neil Gaiman
1. "Socrates on Disobeying the Law" -Woozley 2. "Civil Disobedience in the Modern World" -Feinberg 3. "Socrates on Disobedience to the Law" -Martin 4. "In Defense of Socrates" -Wade 5. "Socrates on Civil Disobedience and Rebellion" -James 6. Socrates and Legal Obligation-Allen 7. Meditations on First Philosophy -Descartes 8. I and Thou -Buber 9. Interpreting Plato's Dialogues -Corlett 10. The Complete Works of Plato -Trans. Cooper (In Progress-I intend to read the entire thing over the span of this semester, partly because it's one of my course requirements) 11. Zimmern, Alfred. The Greek Commonwealth Politics and Economics in Fifth Century Athens, (Oxford, England: Claredon Press, 1911) 12. Woozley, A.D. Law and Obedience: The Arguments of Plato's Crito. London: Duckworth, 1979 13. Rawls, J. 1964. “Legal Obligation and the Duty of Fair Play,” in Samuel Freeman (ed.), John Rawls: Collected Papers, Cambridge: Harvard University Press. 14. Hart, H.L.A. 1955. “Are There Any Natural Rights?”, The Philosophical Review, 64: 175-91. 15. Hanna, Nathan. “Socrates and Superiority.” The Southern Journal of Philosophy, Vol. XLV, No. 2 (Summer 2007): 251-268. 16.

JonHecht, what is "I and Thou" like? I have been tempted to read it for a while.
Not counting works for class, my reading so far in 2009 has been
Georgy Girl by Margaret Forster The Secret Life of a Slummy Mummy by Fiona Neill The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan As You Do by Richard Hammond The Swimming Pool Season by Rose Tremain My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok (for about the 5th time, I think)
Plus I've re-read the Little Women series again.

I'm liking it so far. It's not really my type of philosophy, but still quite interesting; well worth the read. I'm planning on finishing it tomorrow when I have some free time, and I will be able to give a better report then.

Most of my reading is in the form of a cassette player as I drive across the Great American Deseret. So far this year, I have listened to the first three Stephanie Plum novels. One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to get Deadly. I picked the first one based on the length of the tape (8 hours) but it was kind of cool so I did the next two on the next trip. Years of commute have cut deeply into the list of tapes in our little library. So, I am down to mysteries now.

As an update in response to Amira: It is a very fun/interesting read. Very poetic and well written... philosophically... I am analytic so I don't have much good to say about it. I think that the idea of I-Thou relationships are interesting, but not significant enough to be worth more than a footnote. What was most interesting was when I discussed it with a professor, because he was completely wrong about how I-Thou relationships worked. He thought that they could only exist between man and God. Anyway, it's a relatively quick read; I got through it in an afternoon at Starbucks, so it's worth it. Of course, I probably didn't understand it nearly as thoroughly as it could be, but I wasn't particularly interested in gaining a deep understanding of it.

The Kite Runner [Heard great things about it, just getting to it so far.] Re-reading the Two Towers by Tolkien [How could I not? It's been excellent.] Citizen of the Galaxy-Heinlein I Will Fear No Evil-Also Heinlein Ender's Shadow-God-what was that guy's NAME?
I've finished another but it's too dreadful to mention. Has anyone ever heard of the Sweep series? It makes me weep inside.
I'm planning on working on a lot more Heinlein, Asimov, H.G. Wells, finishing off the Gunslinger series, working on a lot more Card works, and many others.
Can anyone recommend good science fiction or classic novels, also anything gothic-nouveau?
I'm particularly low on resources, living in a small town, and no one here has any discernably good taste in books, so I'm a little drained for ideas-or, maybe it's more that I don't know where to start?

Gah! What else have I read? I know I read a couple of light, fluffy novels to recover from the ass kicking delivered by Daniel Abraham's book, but they're slipping my mind. I've also been reading a couple of folktale collections, but not in any kind of systematic way; just a story here and there as I'm waiting for my computer to come up or the pasta I'm stirring to finish cooking.

George R. R. Martin's Fevre Dream is quite good. If your library doesn't have a copy, it's worth getting through inter-library loan.
His A Song of Ice and Fire series (currently incomplete--we're waiting on book 5 at the moment) is breath-takingly good fantasy. If he's able to maintain the quality of the firs three books in the remaining three, Martin will have written a true masterpiece. I've known a few people with otherwise good taste ( )who haven't cared for it, but they're in the minority.
Daniel Abraham's Long Price Quartet is probably the best fantasy from a relatively new author that I've read in some time, and the series (which begins very strongly) gets better with each book.
On the SF end of things, Maureen McHugh's debut novel China Mountain Zhang is phenomenal, and her third novel, Mission Child is well worth reading (though the pacing is a little off--it sags a bit in the middle).
Octavia Butler's fantastic. I'd probably start with Wild Seed, but the Xenogenesis trilogy would be a good place to start too. Or for that matter, her last novel, Fledgling isn't a bad place to start. It's a stand alone novel, and shows Butler at her best. The ideas that she explores in that novel are ones that she'd been turning over in her mind and her fiction for decades, and they're as smooth and polished as river rocks in this outing.
If you are familiar with (and fond of) The Iliad and The Tempest, you will likely love Dan Simmons' Ilium. Ideally you'd want to be familiar with Proust too, but I'm not at all, and was still able to enjoy the book thoroughly.

I haven't read any of these books, but I MUST say the man has a gift.. a GIFT! for titles.
Anyway, I second anything by Octavia Butler. I'm so MAD at her for dying! She never wrote a bad book. I wish she had written more.

You'll never guess what the compilation book I have which contains all three books is called. Wait for it....The Complete Book of Swords.

Some of her early stuff is kind of rough, but she certainly has a better track record than most authors.

You should be prepared to wait awhile. I would recommend waiting until at least the penultimate one is printed before starting to read them. They are quality, though.

If a person were to wait, I'd recommend waiting until the last one had been published, myself. He's gotten slow enough at getting these things written that even if one were to wait until the penultimate book were released, there would [i]still be a several year wait on the final book.

Hey! Good to see you, zgator! I'm only about 9 chapters in, but so far I've been loving the Tuchman book. I didn't go into it knowing a whole lot about WWI (beyond what you learn in high school, that is), though, so I don't have the context to know if she's ever interpreting events differently than is typical.

Wow, you learned about that. I think we got a little past the Civil War in high school. I've been in an American Revolution mode for a few years ago.
BTW, a while back in a thread like this you recommended Peter Watts. His stuff was out of print (although I think they're about to be reissued), but for some reason, I decided I had to read something of his. I finally went to his website and everything he's done is available for free under the creative commons license. Starfish was really good - very different.

Sounds good-I believe I began reading Fledging a couple years ago, but didn't finish reading it for whatever reason. [I was too young to understand the ideas, or at least to apathetic to care.]

I often get to the library, realize that I have no idea what I was going after, and end up coming home with a completely unexpected stack of books. It's fun.
You know what I really enjoy? Going to a tiny little library that has such a limited selection that I'm forced to check out stuff that I wouldn't ordinarily give a second glance to. I haven't had the opportunity to do that in a long time.
I got word from the library that the copy of Tuchman's The Proud Tower I'd requested has come in, so I need to hurry up and finish Guns of August. The big plan for tomorrow is to get together with my partner to sit and read, possibly at her apartment, possibly at a coffee shop, so I should be able to make significant headway in it.
quote: Wow, you learned about that. I think we got a little past the Civil War in high school. I've been in an American Revolution mode for a few years ago.
I think that we only actually made it to WWI once, in a history class I had my sophomore year of high school. Mostly we'd just make it to Reconstruction before the classes ended. I tended to read ahead, though, so I had the opportunity to read over the sanitized version of what the war was more than once.

It's great that he makes all of that available on his site, isn't it? I haven't been t here in ages, which is a shame because in general it's a very interesting website.
I liked Starfish too, but not as much as I liked Blindsight. The two novels are actually quite a bit alike.

That book cracks me up!!
Uh oh, I'm wearing loose clothing today.
Glad to hear that it's worth the read. I've been wanting to pick it up for awhile, but just haven't gotten to it.
On another note: I have a step-father who drives me nuts when we're watching horror movies. He's constantly giving out 'this is what you should do in this situation' as opposed to what's happening on the screen. He's especially bad with zombie movies. I'm pretty sure that if I read this book I will have something to come back at him with the next time we put one on. Posts: 701 | Registered: Jul 1999
