Autobiography of Mark Twain, volume 1
It is like home work. not sure I'm gonna finish it but I hate being a quitter. It just isn't as interesting as I had hoped.

Travels with Charlie - Steinbeck
for the second time. It's even better this time around
"A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us."

did get a little preachy and overwrought and ultimately fell short....the real issue isn't religion although that is the current and prevalent danger/manifestation of tribal behavior in a world full of WMD's
religion is a little more dangerous a form of tribalism in that it can make all sorts of promises it does not have to deliver on....it taps into superstition which is a coping mechanism that probably is nestled in our cave-dwelling DNA and it self-justifies on the premise that it is divinely guided
Core issue is tribalism and/or factionalism...which is deeply rooted in our competitive survival blueprint rather than our cooperative survival blueprint.
And even within the cooperative tribe there is competition for breeding rights when there is no prevailing competition for gathering the bugs and berries to eat
The real problem is in how we determine when to apply competitive vs. cooperative survival. Unfortunately I don't see mankind binding itself as a species short of having an extraterrestrial invasion of creatures equally as or more unpleasant than,, we are

The children of Hurin By JRR Tolkien (Edited by Christopher Tolken)
Soon to be followed by Webbots, Spiders, and Screen Scrapers "a guide to developing internet agents with PHP/CURL"
The later is not really literary reading but it seems interesting.
