Personal Finance for Dummies. Since moving to the US I don't know how anything financial works and since I've been here 15 years, figured it was about time. (=
 
Rereading Ender's Game to get ready for the movie later this year. Also finished reading a YA supernatural book called Moonlit written by a college friend. Will probably retackle Polgara the Sorceress soon as I seem to be rereading all my old friends this spring. :p
 
First Aid training manual... just to see what we missed in the course and what's changed since the last time I got certified...
 
Finally picked up an axiomatic set theory book: Set Theory and the Continuum Problem by Smullyan and Fitting. Some of the problems are frustrating from a psychological view point (which of the following are true? All of them), but over all it is a nice departure from the typical naive set theory that I've been exposed to.

I'm on book three of the Dragonlance Chronicles with my eldest, and have picked up Seekers for my youngest.

As for Dance with Dragons, I have not progressed much from my last post.

Also, now that school is out, I fear I will fall behind on the Scientific Americans that trickle into my possession.
 
The New Empire of Debt by William Bonner and Addison Wiggin. Written in 2009 it explains the geopolitical and macroeconomic forces over the last 100 years that produced our real estate bubble and the 2008 financial crisis. The authors can be a bit snarky in their "I told you so" way, but the book is pretty funny to read (until the reality of what the Federal reserve has done to reduce the value of the dollar by 95% over the last 100 years)

AMMERIICAAA!!!! Like it, Love it, Gotta have it. Geese Medson, We have our fast food super-sized, why not our inflation too?
 
Beekeepers Lament by Hannah Nordhaus

Makes me appreciate back yard beekeepers ever so much more.
Hurrah for the small biodiverse organic farm.
