I'm reading quite a few books. The non-fiction ones I'm reading are The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Military Aircraft by Enzo Angelucci. It covers the history of the aircraft from World War 1 to the present day. The other one is In Deadly Combat by Gottlob Herbert Bidermann. This one is a memoir of the many battles that a German soldier fought in the Eastern front. And the only fiction one I'm reading is Chains of Command by Dale Brown. This one is starting to get interesting since one of the main characters is a woman and she's supposed to be one of the first female combat pilots.

I'm reading "The Taking" by Dean Koontz. I just started it so I can't tell you much about the story but it's well written. On the cover it says, "One rainy night, the end of the world began." The people hear news of extreme weather phenomena across the globe. Something is happening to their world...something is hunting them.
Hubby's reading "Ghost Rider" by Neil Peart. A well written true story journal about Peart's lone trip on his motorcycle after experiencing the death of his daughter and shortly after the loss of his wife. Fantastic book and I'm going to read it when hubby's done. I think you'd like it.Comment

I am reading "The Three Pillars of Zen: Teaching, Practice, and Enlightenment" by Philip Kapleau. It is probably the best book in the English language on Zen Buddhism.
I just finished re-reading (for the 5th or 6th time) "The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time" by Jonathan Weiner. It is a Pulitzer Prize winning book describing evolution in action among the finch population of the Galapagos Islands.Comment

I'm finishing the last book in the Gunslinger series by Stephen King called "Song of Susanah". The title sucks but it is a good book and she is one of the main characters in the story. It is set in several time frames all taking place in alternate "whens" at the same as well. King even did a cameo character as himself in the book and he's a wuss in it, lol.
I would like to be reading Muscular Development as a mag but I can't seem to find it anywhere anymore. Everything is now Flex or crap like that. I'm sick of Weider and his supplement laden rags.
Lately, I'm doing a lot more reading "online" about the evolutionary theory vs intelligent design controversy, especially as it applies to some parties trying to change the public educational system in order to teach creationist theories in science classes. I get my most of my stuff from NASA, Science Journal, Nature, National Academies and research and studies by leading scientific experts in the field. I'm currently battling it out with someone on a different board, lol. It can get pretty heated at times, lol.Comment

PI, read the book (if you haven't already) that I have listed earlier in this thread. Great book on evolution as something that actually can be seen and measured during one's lifetime.Originally posted by Primal InstinctComment

I'm familiar with the Galapagos Island finch observations made by the Grants over a 30 year period. The finches evolved into completely seperate species between the various islands. There is also an example of the Peppered Moth, which is a living example of microevolution, although not a seperate species. The horse is the most complete fossil record example of evolution known to man. 3-toed descendents grew into modern day horses with a single hooves. The horse's closest living relatives are the rhinoceros and the tapir. You wouldn't know it to look at them.
Sorry for the threadjack, blm. :(Comment
