I love the Philosophize This! podcasts for general knowledge about philosophy. It’s pretty much 101 and the guy is good at explaining it.

Once I get settled into my new place I plan on going on a 'TAKE TWO' reading binge.

Off the top of my head:

The Foundation Trilogy
The first two Hyperion novels
The Windup Girl
Blindness
On the Beach
Carrion Comfort
Ghost Story
Koko
The Road
American Gods
Iron Coffins
Stranger Beside Me
Sphere
Stinger
Survivor (the one from the Fight Club dude)
Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead
The first four Michael Slade books
Phases of Gravity

That's enough for now.

Not sure if this essay collection exists with an english title, or if it's a danish collection. Either way, it's good stuff, although I've only read 3 essays so far: One about U2 and two about the supposed death of literature.

I love essay collections, but it's hard to find good ones and it's not the genre with the highest book count, really. I currently only know of a couple other one's I'd like to get.

Does it have a foreword by Bono?

Seriously: I always meant to read The Satantic Verses. Is it worth it? Over my head?

It's pretty damn good, albeit a bit long.
Definitely worth a read though.

No foreword by Bono, but he does offer a different take on what sort of man Bono is. Apparently they sort of became friends.

I haven't read The Satantic Verses verses yet. I've been more interested in Rushdie's non-fiction to begin with, but of course I want to read the book that got him in trouble. The essay collection I'm reading also touches upon the aftermath of that book.

And I don't think the book would be over your head. Rushdie is a very readable author.

Good enough: I'll add it to the list. Thanks guys.
