I'm starting to read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. It's pretty good so far. I'm also starting to read A Midsummer Night's Dream. I've read a couple other Shakespeare things and liked them and this was all they had at the library...I'm not very far, it's been pretty busy around here with Brad gone for the week.

Shakespeare is always interesting. And Arthur Miller.
I'm reading several books at once as usual.
The Sorcerers Apprentice, which is a spoof fantasy, and frankly would have seemed really good when I was ten but not now. Space Captain Smith, which is effectively British Empire in space, sending up sci-fi as a whole. And Captain Alatriste, about a Spanish sword for hire, it blends emersive cultural references with capturing and well paced excitement and develops on characters easily and in an effective way, it's really pretty good.

Hey TimeMachine, what's that about?
It's about an Eastern European immigrant's first experiences in America.

Hmm, interesting.
Currently reading Terry Pratchett's new book Nation, and Thraxas at the Races, which is a good series, very different.

I managed to find Cat's Cradle for 50 cents at a thrift store so I picked it up.

I've been trying to read Breaking Dawn for a really long time, but i just don't have as much spare time. I'm reading the Aenid for my Humanities class, it's nuts.

I'm reading A Clockwork Orange. I've read it before, but some dude was talking about it at work and I felt the need to reread it. ...good book.

Yeah, it's my second read actually, ahah. Pretty much any of the Discworld series are really good.
I'm now reading a book about J. R. R. Tolkien, it explains a lot of the Norse references and Old English words, which personally I find interesting.
