This has probably been posted/asked before, but just exactly "what are you reading" at the moment?
I am an avid reader and am juuust about finished with this one here:
The Great Book of Amber (http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=2UEpWcJVdOQC&dq=The+Chronicles+of+Amber&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=3uL4bBcmOD&sig=5Oemm5XHqEwlzKxDikVxZDj7e7A&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result#PPP1,M1) by Roger Zelazny (link has the free online version)
Absolutely fabulous book if you are into that particular genre.
The next one I am going to read (in the next day or so) will be Brisinger (http://www.alagaesia.com/brisingr.htm) by Christopher Paolini and I am looking forward to it.
And my wife .... well, what can I say other than "WOW", she no longer even likes reading anything in German and can read so much faster and coherently in English that it just blows me away.
She's found her niche with Historical Romance novels (grandma porn, lol) and rips right through those when she has the actual time to sit and do so.
Regardless of what it is, I am more than happy to see her read and it's just a nice bonus when I am also able to ... um, ah, lets just say harvest what others have sown, lol.
So ... "Whatcha readin'?"

Vittorio was an interesting book, I need to dig my Anne Rice collection out again and reread my vamp books.

I'm currently reading The Hitchhikers Trilogy (actual title!) which is a collection of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galazy, The Resturant at the end of the Universe, Life, The Universe and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish, and Mostly Harmless. (all 5 books :D)

After that I'm going to read the sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice under the pen name A.N. Roquelaure :bat::bat:

The Sagas of the Icelanders. Wow, talk about a different way of looking at life! Also reading the Heimskringla, it's more of a history of the Scandinavian kings but there's an element of hero-worship in it.

I cant read with background noise unless im really into the book. Anyone else have that issue? Bugs me so bad I cant concentrate on the book. Some people I know could read during a tornado.
