Hey Mr. Cool, do you want us to put together an eclectic reading list
for you. It'll give you something to do as you site on your rooftop
and try not to catch it on fire.

Freakonomics
Tipping Point
Sidhartha
Around the World in 80 Days or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Any good dictionary of allusions
Trout Fishing in America (don't worry, it's not about trout fishing
in America)
Any good bio of Issac Newton
New York Times Manual of Style (great read)
Any compalation of poetry by Robert Service
Any compilation of poetry by Carl Sanburg

Okay, everyone, what else is out there that's worth reading?

I actually prefer Narcissus and Goldmund to Siddhartha, but anything
by Hesse is good for a reading list

Everyone who haunts this newsgroup should read Jerad Diamond -
especially Collapse and Guns, Germs, and Steel

first it was "Guns,Germans and Steel" so I thought it was something on
World War II

Gag. Gag. Wouldn't it be easier to re-read "A Tale of Two Cites" or
"Les Miserable" in French?
