I just finished reading Spark Your Dream by Herman and Candelaria Zapp, which was a really inspirational travelogue about two Argentenians that travel from Buenos Aires to Alaska in a 1928 Graham Paige between 2000 and 2003. I'm now starting The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, which is supposed be one of the best new fantasy novels in quite some time.

At this time, I'm reading a big book of 777 pages, Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, by Douglas Hofstadter, that deals formal rules systems, and how knowledge can be represented and stored.

I don't think it's possible to explain what this book is about to someone who never read it. :-)

Enjoy, it's one of my favourites and it's going to blow your mind several more times before you are done.

I have several philosophy books started and sitting on a shelf here, but I'm most actively reading the Bible now, cover to cover.

I'm currently struggling through 'The Idiot', by Dostoyevsky. Even though I'm reading it in the Hebrew version, it is still not easy. I shouldn't have started it, lol...
