Books! Books! Books!

So school has started and I'm spending the majority of my time doing homework, working, going to class and training (Aikido). Not much time to read. Unfortunately, I just spent a hundred bucks on books...

I've been reading in 5-minute blocks: before class, in the waiting room, while the rice cooks, on the bus. Eventually, I'll read all the books I bought, but probably not before I buy dozens more (all of the sudden I feel the need to read every book ever written).

Anyway, here's what I own but haven't started reading:




Stephen Jay Gould's Dinosaur in a Haystack



Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World



Michael Shermer's Why Darwin Matters






Mark Isaak's The Counter-Creationism Handbook




Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma




Neil Shubin's Your Inner Fish



I'll probably start Carl Sagan's book as soon as I finish the two I'm reading now:





Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion







Stephen Jay Gould's Ever Since Darwin



And by the way, if you're thinking of buying any books, check out Brian's website. When you link to Amazon via his web page, he gets some $$$.
