The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas (big fan). I started it, but...that's about it.

I'm developing a taste for good psychological war novels, it seems. Stuff about how being in a war affects one's personality - all the disillusionment and uncertainty that follows. Stuff that breaks the cliche of the valiant (right word use?) and courageous soldier. Billy Pilgrim's character certainly breaks a lot of those cliches.

You might try Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" or Rick Shelley's books. He wrote a trilogy that's especially good that starts with . . . ergh . . . oh yeah: "The Buchanan Campaign," followed by "The Fires of Coventry," and concludes with "The Return to Camerein."

Nifty good stuff.

As for what I'm currently reading, I'm reading about 6 different books right now. But I'll just tell one: "Music Therapy for the Autistic Child" - by Juliette Alvin. It can be found here if anyone is interested. It's fairly old for the field, but it has lots of good information in it regardless.

Gatsby (Fitzgerald).
I'm going to start The Sun also Rises(Hemingway) afterwards.
Whenever I read Hemingway I spend half my time not seeing what everything is about, and then when I do see how everything ties together I fall into a state of sheer amazement.

A quote from "Animals in Translation" that made me laugh (on the bus):
