I'm slowly reading two text books ,
"Introduction to Logic" Copi & Cohen (recommended by freepers, very good),
"Reason and Responsibility" custom edition for Prof. Ramsey (finished section on Theodicy which gives the impression Theodicy is a section of philosophy based on poor scholarship)
and just finished "The Limits of a Limitless Science" Jaki, which was excellent.
Just starting, "The Savior of Science" Jaki, which so far isn't the quality of his other book.

My main read right now is Dostoyevsky's
Crime and Punishment. I'm using the translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky which is excellent. I read their translation of
The Brothers Karamozov in 2004 -- the fact that I'm reading another of their translations of a Russian novel, for pleasure, is an indication of how good they are.
I'm also reading Mark Helprin's short story collection The Pacific. His novella, "Perfection," about a Hasidic boy playing for the 1958 Yankees is incredible -- it belongs, I think, to the same universe of his novel, Winter's Tale.
I'm also reading a collection of plays by William Wycherley (1641-1715), Felipe Fernandez-Armesto's Millenium: A History of the Last Thousand Years, and James Twitchell's Preposterous Violence. I'm also continuing my slow progress through Will Durant's Our Oriental Heritage with the intent of reading his entire Story of Civilization over the next 5-10 years, as well as the Berlin and Brettler Jewish Study Bible.
I recently put Kristine Kathryn Rusch's SF novel, Alien Influences in my reading bag, but I haven't started it yet.
As soon as my wife finishes reading it, I'll be reading the first draft of an untitled novel I recently completed, in preparation for rewriting it -- and a huge rewrite that will be.

C.S. Lewis--
The Problem of Pain The best kind of writing is that written by an intelligent person speaking to other intelligent people.
Phil Sommerville--40 Days of Prayer
Ungh, Rick Warren Lite. But if the pastor's going to be taking his sermons from its lectionary, he wants us all to read it. Besides, I need some prayer discipline.
