Mitch Albom - Tuesdays with Morrie

Amanda Jane's Fun Shoes (and Other Paternal Epiphanies) by Dr. Rob Holdsambeck

A collection of anecdotes about fatherhood and growing up. It includes an essay entitled "Special Moms," which talks about parenting children with various disabilities, ranging from Asperger Syndrome to Down Syndrome.

Principles of Anatomy and Physiology - Gerard J Tortora & Byran Derrickson (11th ed.)

Also

Beyond this Horizon - Robert Heinlein (for when I have been distracted, but still want to read)

In the Shape of a Boar - Lawrence Norfolk

A Land of Two Halves - Joe Bennett (about his hitching travels around New Zealand)

Finished The Briar King and picked up an abridged version of Don Quixote along with Briar King's sequel, The Charnel Prince.

Usually I read one book at home, and one at work. I'll finish Don Quixote first, because I'm reading it at work.

I am reading The Midnight Bell (1798), a gothic novel by Francis Lathom.

alan moore's graphic novel Watchmen.
and
Philip K. Dick's Dr. Bloodmoney

The Haruhi Suzumiya light novels.

I can't understand Japanese, so I'm reading a translation.

I just finished "Cell" by Stephen King. This was the first time I'd read anything by him, and I have to say, it was wonderful. In the book anyone who uses a cell phone turns into a zombie. That said, it doesn't have any of the zombie movie cliches, it doesn't have an over-reliance on gore, and in general I find it hard to even call it a horror book. It's really more of a combination of drama, thriller, dark humor, and social commentary. I can't say much without spoiling it, but suffice to say the story builds and builds. I found it hard to put down...the pace was relentless, but there was always great detail and description.

I'm just finishing Integral Halachah by R' Zalman Schachter-Shalomi

The Cobra Event by Richard Preston.

The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

"Was it really Prajapati who had created the world? Was it not Atman, He alone, who had created it? Were not the gods forms created like me and you, mortal, transient?"

Up High in the Trees by Kiara Brinkman.

It is about an extraordinary eight year old boy. They haven't said he has AS or any other ASD but it reads like he does, and I think when someone who read it, reviewed it, they mentioned it. Anyway, it is pretty good. It is fiction.

Functional Behavior Analysis for People with Autism, by Beth A. Glasberg, PhD. It is an interesting book, but addresses AS very briefly.
