Christopher, I believe what you were reading was an interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita. That is, not just a translation of the exact words, but the author is adding his own words.

Unfortunately I probably lack the ability to read Hindu or sanskrit or whatever it was originally written in and thus translations are necessary.

Vox by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. It's not as good as the other Edge Chronicles books so far, but then again, I'm not finished, so...

Just started Shards, by Bruce Baugh, the first book of the Vampire: the Masquerade: Lasombra Trilogy. Pretty good so far.

Introductry Quantum Mechanics - Fourth Edition by Liboff
A little of a tough read and some the pictures are to gruesome for human eyes. I am about a quarter of the way done.
