If you liked Miss Peregrine, you should read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. . .it's in the same vein but I dare say even better. . .

On the last 2 chapters on Carl Sagan's last written book before he passed away: "Billions & Billions"

I'd recommend everyone puts that on their "must read" list! Great book.

I just finished the Tea Party Guide To Being a Real American. Very funny book and I love the way the author, Roland Boyle, presented the story from the view of 'this book feels' 'this book thinks'.

Junior Teabaggers:

"Teabaggers are the opposite of poets: they're made, not born. Sure, there may be a genetic predisposition toward anti-government sentiment, conspiracy theories, and misspelled protest signs, but we can't depend on even the shallowest gene pool to do all the work in producing junior members of the Tea Party. That's like asking our ancestors for a handout. We have to work to put the fear of God and hatred of liberals into kids."

Recently, I saw a documentary about Gene Sharp's 'From Dictatorship to Democracy' but haven't been able to find it for my iPad. I would really like to read this.

reading "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand at the moment

Interestingly enough I don't read a lot of books about atheism or religion. I am an atheist and I don't need convincing so I tend to ignore them. I read a lot of science and that takes care of religion as far as I am concerned.

I just finished The Demon Haunted World by Sagan.
