Coping with Difficult People by Robert M. Bramson. Great little book if ya have to deal with difficult people in the workplace and such. i actually work alone, live alone, and am as ascetic as one could be without living in a monastery, but read it anyway as a study in psychology. What i like most about the book was finding out what kind of difficult person i am/could be. Not only does it give hints as to how to deal with difficult people, it also may unknowingly help difficult people be deliberately and effectively more difficult. Its a good thing that i am such an eremite. Ashe.

Just started reading China Mieville's The Scar. I hope it's as good as Perdido Street Station.

I'm 1/2 way through William Peter Blatty's Legion. I read it a few years back, but have forgotten most of it.

Just One Look, by Harlan Coben – My impression was that this guy was regarded as a good writer of intelligent modern crime thrillers. Guess not. This is a pretty bad book so far – bad writing, bad characters. I’ll probably power through, since I’m halfway done, but not good.

Faith, Madness, and Spontaneous Human Combustion by Gerald N. Callahan. Kind of plotless at the moment. Only 2 chapters in though. Combining science with philosophy doesn't seem to work out well. Waiting for a thesis besides his exploration of why he hallucinates seeing his dead first wife.
