I'm reading now The Mirror of Cassandra by Bernard Werber.

I have a love-hate relationship with his books. All the little "facts" he stops the story to tell are utter and complete bullshit. He starts with the truth and distords it, stretches it or simplifies it to the point where it turns absolutely false.

I have to agree :)

First part of the book was interesting, and in the middle I lose interest to this book. Perhaps i happens because of his so called philosophy, what i can't accept as philosophy :(
If my English was not good, please corect me :)

Try The thanatonauts. It's an amazing book that reads very fast. Ignore all sequels, they are "philosophy" wall to wall.

I just started reading a book by Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind. Looks good, is fantasy.

That's on my short list (ok it's not that short, but it's towards the top) of books to read, just after I power through A Dance with Dragons....and The Way of Kings and finishing up a book from the Dresden Files, and....

How come The Dresden Files isn't on top of your list? You got your priorities all wrong! :-P

I am reading Ecstasy is a new Frequency.  It's a very informative book about our holographic existence and how to release our Ego.

Right now I'm reading a book called, "The Wizard of Quarks." It's about quantum physics, and it's pretty good if you can follow it.

Co-ed Naked Philosophy by Will Forest. It's a great book!

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin. I'm trying to read each book before I see the corresponding episodes on HBO.

Are the episodes that close to the story-line of the books?

The first season followed the first book very closely. From what I've heard, the same is true of season 2, but it starts to depart in season 3.
