I'm reading a different classic by Huxley. A Brave New World
I love his interpretation on the future, which he believed us to be almost at the present.
Right now though, I am reading this thread, nyuk nyuk.

Recently I read "the Master & the Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov a really fasinating compelling book with more unexpected twists than a rollercoaster in a tornado. Because I enjoyed it so much I'm currently reading another book by the same author called "The White Guard", its not quite in the same league as the Master & the Margarita, but is still enjoyable even if it is a bit of a slower read.
I just finished reading "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" by Aron Ralston, the guy who had to amputate his right hand to save his life back in May of 2003. I had listened to an abridged version on CD read by the author earlier this summer and wanted to compare the two experiences. The book was definitely better because it gave more background into what caused Aron to be where he was when the accident happened. It is intriguing reading (did the 360+ pages in two days).
I looked over the books stored out of the way in the hallway closet, and picked out 'Stories My Mother Never Told Me,' being a collection of horror stories chosen by Alfred Hitchcock. My grandmother's signature is on the book jacket, though I no longer remember exactly how it was decided that it would pass down to me. It was printed about the time a new musical group called 'the Beatles' was creating a stir on the Ed Sullivan Show stateside. Only one of the stories so far brought back a clear memory of my having read it decades earlier.
