Weekly "what are you reading" Thread #78

I've got a few irons in the fire right now.

I'm wrapping up Andrew Robert's Napoleon biography "Napoleon, A Life" which was incredibly interesting. I'm currently on the Waterloo campaign so our boy Napoleon is on his last leg.

I've also recently started Lord of the Rings. I've never read it and only seen the movies as a child so this is really my first experience outside of second hand cultural consumption. Very fun writing. Those plucky little fellers just met Tom Bombadill

I also started reading Godel, Escher, Bach. I'm just through the 20th anniversary forward. Seems like it's going to be fricking weird as heck.

Finally, my wife got me a cookbook called 6 Seasons about cooking with seasonal vegetables. It's got a lot of technique and veggie growing/selecting advice so I'm planning on reading it cover to cover.
