I'm reading Stranger beside me - Ann Rule, its story about Ted Bundy from Ann Rule's perspective. She was Ted's co worker when they worked at a Crisis center together. Its rather frightening and interesting at the same time to read about a person who was a model citizen but had this very dark side to him.

im not much of a reader, but im reading nickel and dimed by barbara ehrenreich. its about a writer who goes on doing a little project by pretending to be poor and taking on a minimum wage job. it goes into the lives of people who literally are living paycheck by paycheck.

I'm reading books from the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Think Monty Python's Flying Circus meets Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Very funny, ironic, and utterly brilliant at times. I'm currently on Reaper Man.

I also read the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, but I'm getting sick of it. It goes on and on with no ending in sight.

The third series I am reading is Songs of Earth and Fire, by George RR Martin. Very cool, much more realistic than Jordan, much more satisfying.

On my night stand I have two Chuck Palahnuik books (Survivor and Choke) and, for some reason I'm reading this for fun, The Mystery of Capital by Hernando De Soto
