Mudcat. (Sorry, it was too good a straight line.)
My current choice is the surprisingly readable and entertaining Heroes, Rogues and Lovers: Testosterone and Behavior by James and Mary Dabbs (McGraw-Hill, 2000). It was recommended to me by a girlfriend who happens to be the sister of one of the authors. Always try out a book that a friend recommends.

I am currently reading "Paul and Palestinian Judaism". This is difficult reading for a non-Christian unfamiliar with Christian terminology. But someday I will know why and how he made a left turn (or a right turn if you prefer) lo those many years ago.

I am also reading a series under the umbrella title, "My Peoples Prayer Book", which analyzes, Talmud style, the Hebrew prayers. As I have no current temple affiliation, this serves as my spiritual inspiration.

And lastly, I am reading Colerdge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" for perhaps the 25th time. I read it aloud when alone, as poetry, like song, should be heard...even with my poor voice. - John

I am continually caught reading, when I should be doing something else, chores,sleeping almost anything really. I noticed it is also World Book Year, that is, books translated from a foreign language or about another country. Any nominations for a good read in that category?

Sarah the Flute,

A coworker and I were reading a humorous valentine last night on the Welding Repair Shop's computer when suddenly, the night plant supervisor walked in and caught us laughing out loud. He asked us to play it again. He began laughing too and then walked away. He must have been impressed with our dedication to our jobs.

"Cochrane: the Life and exploits of a Fighting Captain." The basis for Patrick O'Brian's Captain Aubrey -- just more incredible ...
"The Voyage," Philip Caputo.
"The Privacy Law Sourcebook," EPIC.
Cheers,
Brian
