I have a pretty simple system for sorting books. If they're standing up, I've read them. If they're flat on their side in front of books standing up I haven't.

Right now these books are flat:

Started

• The Reality Dysfunction - Peter F. Hamilton

  This one's hard to get through. I'm not a big fan of sci-fi with a huge amount of invented words.

• Plague War - Jeff Carlson

  Sequel of the awesome Plague Year. Will probably be done soon.

• The Sexual Paradox - Susan Pinker

  Not sure why I stopped reading it. I was reading this one this summer. It's very interesting. I'll probably pick it back up once I'm done Plague War.

• Simplexity - Jeffrey Kluger

  It's taking me longer than I thought to finish this one because I thought it would be better. It's readable, there are some interesting anecdotes explained but overall it's one of those books you read for the content despite the way it's written.

• Peace Kills - P.J. O'Rourke

  This one was recommended by a friend. He'd recommended another that I really enjoyed but I don't like this one at all. I imagine I'll finish it eventually but it's slow going.

• The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - Edward Gibbon

  This thing is over 1000 pages long. It's going to take forever to finish.

Not-yet-started

• The Door Into Summer - Robert A. Heinlein

  Got this one as a Christmas gift. I've been kinda overdosing on Heinlein recently though so it's going to take a while before I want to read this one.

• The Number of the Beast - Robert A. Heinlein

  See above.

• Friday - Robert A. Heinlein

  See above. (again)

• Orphan's Alliance - Robert Buettner

  I'm a big fan of militar science fiction. I highly recommend the Orphan's series if you are too.

• Armor - John Steakley

  When I entered my books into LibraryThing, it figured out I was a military sci-fi fan and recommended this. It looked interesting and I imagine I'll get to it eventually.

• 1632 - Eric Flint

  Another LibraryThing recommendation. It recommended this one because I liked S.M. Stirling's Dies The Fire serious. It's alternate history and those are often interesting. (They're also the only Fantasy books I tend to enjoy.)

• The Montreal canadiens 100 years of Glory - D'Arcy Jenish

  I probably wouldn't have bought this book just because the guy's name resembles Darcy Tucker's too much. I got it as a Christmas gift though and I'll get to it sometime this summer.

• The Pirate's Dilemma How Youth Culture is Reinventing Capitalism - Matt Mason

  Mostly I bought it for the title. Hopefully it'll be an interesting read.

• Wikinomics - Don Tapscott

  This book seems to be recommended all over the internet. That's why I bought it. No clue when I'll actually end up reading it though.
