What is the Puma Man Reading?

    I think it is important to read. Some of my friends wouldn't agree (*cough*papa juliet*cough*), but I think that reading is splendid, especially non-fiction. Fiction is good every once in a while, but I like to read to enjoy, and my enjoyment comes from my learning about new things. At any rate, here's what I have been reading the past few months (Summer 2002, Fall 2002, Janterm and Spring 2003, and Summer 2003, in progress).
