For fun I am reading:
Jones, S. (2000). Almost Like a Whale: The Origin of Species Updated. London, Black Swan.

Strikethrough means I've finished reading it... Everything else is in the queue, although I'm well into all of the books - just about finished "Almost Like a Whale"

Happy reading everyone!

Whoops! Almost forgot: just read "The Three Little Pigs" and "Jack and the Beanstalk" - it's bedtime here!

Grorgy:
Dont know how you could even almost forget those literary classics Darwin.  ;D  (Dont have any baba the elephant do you?  :-[)

Darwin:
No, sadly, no Baba the elephant (or was that meant to be Babar? If so, again no, but it would be a huge hit - good idea, actually). I AM trying to interest my reading audience in my old Rupert the Bear Annuals, but they are pretty fixed in three streams: Dr. Seuss, Korean kids books (I read them to them but have no idea what I am reading - sometimes I just free associate in English, but that doesn't last long because my audience has cleverly memorized the proper Korean text - and the classics mentioned above and others of their ilk.

lanux128:

Darwin:  Papers... I'm well into all of the books
Happy reading everyone!
--- End quote ---

I wouldn't understand some of the material on your list but I hope to climb to that level some day...I tried "The Three Little Pigs" but my finger kept moving off the line, so I had to give up.

This week my stuff's mostly fluff
Lee Child "Bad Luck And Trouble"
John Sandford "Invisible Prey"
Michael Connelly "The Overlook"
(and a bunch of corporate background/strategy papers)
