I'm sure there's already a thread like this is other sections of the forums but the pub is the most active so I'm making one here.
What's everyone reading at the moment>?
Here are my three, visual reference :
Kilo Class by Patrick Robinson. Tom Clancy style books.
The Case For Mars by Robert Zubrin.
The changing face of Nuclear Warfare by Lauren Martin.
Gotta love Adderall for giving me the concentration, motivation and memory required to read 3 books at once every day.

The Serial Universe by J. W. Dunne. It's an explanation of his space-time theory, that being that the universe exists as an infinite regress.

I am reading A New Earth also. Pretty cool that a book basically about ego death is in Oprah's book club haha.
There is hope.

Yeah, i also really enjoyed the power of now and a new earth. Tolle knows exactly what he's doing and talking about.
I enjoyed Ram Dass' Be Here Now immensely even more so than Tolle's books.
