I've found very interesting books for the philosophy shelf. There's a whole line of books tying philosophy to popular tv shows/movies like House and Philosophy: Everybody Lies. I'm really tempted to read that one!Of course, I can go with a few classics like Catch-22 or Crime and Punishment.

Sandy - I hope you like BSoG - this was one of my 5 star reads last year and I wish they taught more about this period of history in school because I was clueless about it before I read thisSandy wrote: "Rolled 3

I was away for a week visiting my kids & grandkids, so I didn't have my normal time in the car doing errands. Thus, not much progress on The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. (When I try to listen when I'm just relaxing, I inevitably fall asleep and lose my place). Now that I'm back home, the pace of my audio-reading should pick up again.
I did read I, Robot for square 44 (fiction). So when I finish Sweetness, I'll be done.
