Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Ever since finding out I have AS a few weeks ago, I can't stop thinking about it. It's always on my mind. I've purchased books, read scientific publications, joined this forum, among other things. And I've been paying even more attention to my mental processes than I usually do. Fascinating stuff.
I've also been very into abnormal psychology in general. I was ecstatic to find a textbook on the subject while raiding my mom's bookshelf the other day, and I've been switching between reading that and some books by Tony Atwood. I can't get over how interesting it all is. I have always been fascinated by psychology, but I never knew there was a whole branch of it dedicated to studying "unusual" minds.
Also, for some reason, I started reading another textbook on "supply chain management." I don't imagine I'll finish that one, but it piqued my interest for whatever reason.

At the moment, helicopters. I fly Rc helis and I'm currently building a 700 class gasoline powered heli (62 inch rotor diameter). I'm also playing around with my new micro heli (blade mxpx) to keep my flying skills sharp.
I've been reading a bunch about full size helicopters too. Particularly the Sekorski ch54 skycrane. I want to build a scale rc version of this heli, but it'd take several years and several thousand dollars to build it to the point that I'd be satisfied with it.

Reading novels as usual....right now I'm re-reading the Artemis Fowl series and listening to A Song of Fire and Ice audio books. Next I'm going to re-read the first 2 Patrick Rothfuss books, A Name in the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear..........very upset that the third book in this series isn't out yet. *shakes fist*
