I have actually read the whole New Testament, over the period of about a year. It did nothing for me.
I want to read Bertrand Russell's book "Why I Am Not A Christian" along with the other essays in the book.
I'd say Varg is more evil because he really did kill someone and he burnt down churches. 
Ihsahn looks evil on the early Emperor stuff though.

I'm currently reading Dante's Inferno and I'm absolutely loving it. It's especially intriguing since it has so many references to Virgil's Aeneid which I read/translated for my Latin class this year.
I picked up the latter 2/3 of the Divine Comedy (Purgatorio and Paradiso) at Border's today.

I'm finally in the fourth book of The Dreamers by David and Leigh Eddings called The Younger Gods. So far this has been a very entertaining series
After I'm done with it I'm starting to read a new series from Kay Kenyon called The Entire And The Rose starting with the first book Bright of the Sky, promises to be an interesting and original sci-fi series.

I'm currently reading Nightfall by Asimov and am enjoying quite a bit. I enjoy the scientific yet accessible nature of the characters and setting. I plan on reading the Foundation series afterwards.
During the summer, I want to start attacking my philosophical books from Nietzsche, Kant, Schopenhauer, and Sartre.

I just finished Neuromancer a few weeks ago and since I was too lazy to go to the library I just looked for a book around the house and started Flags of our Fathers. It's pretty decent so far.

Does he read the John Ciardi translation? That's what I'm reading at it's great because it keeps it in tercets and rhymes the first and third line, just like the original Italian.

Today I started reading The Bronx Zoo. It's about the 1978 Yankees who made that incredible comeback (14 back of Boston in mid July, then ended the season tied and beat them in a one game playoff thanks to Bucky Dent), and also had one of the wildest, most dysfunctional clubhouses ever. It's actually Sparky Lyle's journal from that season, so it's an insiders view of the team, the orginization and baseball in general.
