Differential Equations with Variational Calculus
Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook

Indeed. :D

For non-novel stuff, I keep stuff like 'A Tour of the Calculus', 'Flatterland: A Romance of Many Dimensions', 'the Selfish Gene', 'The Code Book', 'Fermat's Enigma', 'Q is for Quantum: An Encyclopaedic Reference', and many differnet Stephen Hawking books. :)

I, perhaps, read too damn much.

one never read too damn much.
I for my part read not enough, when I was younger I used to read all the books I could put my hands on ( my parents were amazed when I was reading book supposed to be for adults -no, not porn you droofus :p - when I was 6). i've read thousands of books till the age of about 12.  But now I hardly read two books a year :(
SCREW CANON!

Yeah, I know how that is, Venom. I realized about a year ago that I was spending too much time online chatting, and not enough time doing the things I love: reading, Legos, video games. I've cut back on my online time and ramped up my reading again. Even so, its still only a book a week and one book per weekend now. It used to be one or two per day.

I can deal with that though. SystemShock2, ship modelling, and programming are taking up more of my time now. :D

It's nice to have some variation in your reading -- when
me gets bored to something, just a swap to a completely different genre. Makes it more interesting in a long run. . .

Math is beautiful, but it doesn't cover everything (tho it's THE science). Novels etc. essentially fill in in then non-rational part of human nature. E.g. for me that part dominates, LOL ;)

I'm eagerly awaiting two books:
Stephen's Big Book Of Unified Field Theory - Stephen Hawkins
FTL Engines For Dummies - Stephen Hawkins/The Dummies Guy
Apparently on a visit to the TNG sets Hawkins took a look at the warp core and said 'I'm working on that'.
