The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper.

Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound.

Edit: Unrelatedly, why do so few people read often anymore? It's weird.

I do a lot of reading for school, I just don't wanna post all that. Currently, Beowulf and Divided America for school, and Watchmen again for pleasure.

Also, I read lots of magazines and newspapers.

Beowulf and Divided America also.

I'm debating whether I should finish After War: The Political Economy of Exporting Democracy. I read half of it and then did my extra credit 'book talk' with my AP Economics Teacher.

I might just start reading Tim Wise's White Like Me. A brilliant anti-racist book.

When i was working in Manhat, i binge read when taking the bus or train to and from work. when i knew i was going to finish something, i'd have the next book with me so there was no gap. that was 98-00, but since then, i haven't been reading as much.

Kinda in the midst of Lilies Without by Laura Kasischke, Blood Dazzler by Patricia Smith, and Budget Travel Through Space and Time by Albert Goldbarth.

Finally finished Zinn's People's History of the US, that was very enjoyable

I'm halfway through the first six collections of Brian K. Vaughan's Ex Machina. Really good stuff.

Then I have Ayn Rand's Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, The Black Brothers' Divided America, and Alan Moore's V for Vendetta and The Killing Joke lined up. I'm going to try not to read a novel all year. Just nonfiction and graphic novels.
