Netopalis, have you read 'The Great Divorce' by C. S. Lewis?

Hey, sorry, I lost the link to this for a while, and just now found it again...
Calc: Good list, math was probably the weakest section in my plan. I'll see if I can get a copy of any of those....
Jim: Ghandi's biography is a good idea...I hadn't considered him before, but he may actually be just the person that I should read - someone whose accomplishments I'm only vaguely familiar with, yet was very influential and had a dynamic personality...As for the rest of your post, I'd be very interested in anything on economics, as I have absolutely no clue there.
Betterme: Since I don't drive that often or do tasks which I can concentrate on audiobooks while putting my body on autopilot, I doubt this would be too helpful. That being said, I do have an interesting reading plan, I think - reading a minimum of 10 pages 4 times a day, giving me 280 pages a week and 960 pages a month - I should be able to get through this list at a reasonable pace using this.

Godot: Well, this begs the question - what sort of things would it be better to do? Also, is reading and doing conflictory? (I mean, at the same time, they are...but I can still live my life and read at a reasonable rate, I believe).

Uplift: Good suggestion, and an area that I'm not too familiar with...

Kat: You may be right...but I'm not sure that there are any good, readable books on the topic - plus, I think that I'm reasonably knowledgable about computers anyway, aside from programming and hardware.

M18: Yep! The Great Divorce is one of my favorite books, it really forces a person to think about the bigger questions in life....
