What do you read at the moment?

I moved it to Movies and Books.

I started to peek into "The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha".
I read some pages of Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi" every day.
I am expecting Kurt Leland's "The Unanswered Question - Death, Near-Death and the Afterlife" and "Music and the Soul: A Listener's Guide to Achieving Transcendent Musical Experiences", and started reading them both on Amazon's "Search Inside" already.

I am really curious about the last one. I didn't expect to find such a book, but I think it is important. I find all his writings very intriguing, but the topic of using music for spiritual purposes is even doubly so.

"Principia Discordia"

Im re-reading my "Dune" collection, I love sci-fi epics... sorry it's not very highbrow

Don't worry. If I'd answered this last week, it would have been "Making Money" by Terry Pratchett.

I re-read the Dune collection earlier this year. It is very finely crafted literature.

"Making Money" was disappointing. I loved its predecessor, "Going Postal", but "Making Money" was too - convoluted? Hope you like it better. Maybe I reread it with less expectations - I liked "Jingo" much better when I reread it, too.

I've read the entire Discworld series, many of them more than once. I faithfully read whatever the new book is, and I generally enjoy them. I liked this one well enough, though it's not my favourite. I was very intrigued by the interesting picture it paints of Vetinari, though, and his relationship with Moist von Lipwig (and I do love that name ).

My favourites are the ones with Granny Weatherwax, though I'm more the Nanny Ogg type...

I prefer the Commander Vimes books. They also have a lot of Vetinari in it. I love it when he teases the werewolves with "Vet...inari" in "The Fifth Elefant". I reread them a lot. I like the Weatherwax ones, including the Tiffany books, and the only ones I don't reread are the Rincewind ones - with the sole exception of "Interesting Times".

I'm not a fan of Rincewind, but I do like the staff of Unseen University. Having spent a lot of time around academics, I can relate. The only Rincewind one I've read more than once is the one set in Fourex, the country that is definitely not Australia not even a little bit. I love that a platypus is a duck designed by a committee of academics and that Rincewind accidentally invented Vegemite by trying to make beer soup when he was really drunk...
