Every once in a while I go on a huge book-buying binge. Unfortunately for my suitcase and my back, the latest hit me when I was in Madison.
What books I buy usually says something about where I am life-wise. So, again, for my own memory, here are some highlights of books acquired:
Siddhartha: Hermann Hesse
The Alchemist: Paolo Coehlo
Bird by Bird: Anne Lemott
Essential Rumi
Palestine Peace not Apartheid: Jimmy Carter
Unfortunately, It was Paradise: Mahmoud Darwish
Darwish Collection
A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers will Rule the Future: Daniel H. Pink
The Great Gatsby: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Anthem: Ayn Raynd

Send me my Ayn Rand!
...it's making me nervous she's not on my night stand.
Ayn Rand is evil.
Blasphemy.
Instead of Ayn Rand, just read The Great Gatsby twice and then visit Fitzgerald's grave in Rockville, MD.
Preston:
Just because one hates Rand's philosophy doesn't mean she's evil/that her books aren't a worthy read.
Danny:
Gatsby was a fav in high school, so technically this would be the second read. Also, are you visiting NY still?
Alchemist and Gatsby are two of my all-time favorite books ever. good choice ;)
