What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I'm reading Watership Down, and mostly because of - what else? - an audio drama based on it that I listened to :-

Sense and Sensibility and The Hiding Place, both of which I've read dozens of times.

Hooray for Bookworms!
Eugene Meltsner? I don't think so. Secret agents wear sunglasses and drive around in cool cars. Eugene wears coke-bottle glasses and rides around on a bike.

I love that book! \:D/ I read it a lot of times when I was younger, and a few times as I got older too.

I'm doing some intellectual reading - I'm delving into a Dilbert comic book entitled "This is the part where you pretend to add value." \:D/

Isn't Dilbert great?! \:D/ My little calendar that Watson gave me has had some funny strips lately.

I just started a book called Seven Beaver Skins. Historical fiction, set in the 1660's I believe.
