What are you reading?
 
I'm currently wondering what folks here are reading at the moment, especially considering reading of any kind is far superior to any other medium of entertainment. :herriman:

Right now, I'm reading Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs and Best American Short Stories of 2007. How about all of you?

I'm currently reading Brecht on Theatre for my theatre class, which is a collection of essays from the playwright...Brecht, of course. But for my own enjoyment? A book from the wonderful Twilight series called New Moon and the Quality, Taste, and Style book by Tim Gunn (I love me some Tim Gunn...he's too awesome :P).

Currently I'm reading volume 18 of Naruto. The last novel I read was Dracula. If all comes together though, I'll be reading "Stephen Colbert: I am America and so can you" once I unwrap it on my birthday next month.:bloogrin:

The last work of fiction that I read was a Foster's fanfic; it was not a happy experience, not by any stretch of the imagination. As for actual books I recently picked up a copy of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, which I haven't started yet, and completed a Star Trek novel ("Q In-Law") last week. Pretty funny story. Lately I've been reading through my collection of role-playing handbooks and supplements, mostly for the entertainment value as I'm not currently involved in a RP group.

"I Am America (And So Can You!)". I love how the only review on the back of the book is by the book's author. Stephen Colbert is awesome.

Plus just the title makes me chortle to myself.

I adore Stephen Colbert too, and his new book sounds excellent. Don't let any bears near it though; they'll just maul it because they hate Mr. Colbert.

On topic, I am currently reading Frankenstein, the classic scary novel, for my English class and also Cod:A Biography of The Fish That Changed The World.

Btw, in response to Cassini's response, I have read another of Ayn Rand's works within the last month, though it wasn't Atlas Shrugged. I just wanted to mention this because I'm a Rand fan and was pondering his novel choice.

I've heard a great deal about the book in the last year or so, mostly from other authors who frequently quoted her or cited her as a source; I found a copy at one of my area's larger bookstores after a fairly lengthy search and bought it on the spot.

I'm on #6 of the Alien Nation novels (there's 8). I've also been rereading over my Bug's Life fanfic and saved roleplays...I've just felt like it. ;)
