Default What book are you reading?

Title pretty much says it all, I'll start off

After reading all the series of Redwall by Brian Jacques, I just finished The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R.Covey

You?

I just finished my 17th reading (yes, that's right) of the LotR trilogy, and now I'm almost done with The Silmarillion for the 10th (yes, that's right) time. I'm also in the middle of the Library of America's H.P. Lovecraft collection, and recently completed Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. All highly recommended.

The Center Cannot Hold, by Harry Turtledove, the 5 or 6th book in a series, Timeline 191, about what it would be like if the confederacy won the civil war.

1421: The year China discovered the World
Pretty interesting book, even if you generally aren't interested in history and highly controversial is a plus too XD

The Kama Sutra, by Vatsayana; as translated by Alain Danielou (my main reader and I'm about half way through)

also on my nightstand:
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn (about half way through)
TVA and the Grass Roots, Philip Selznick (finished first chapter)
and the Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson (I've read many random selections)

As you can see, I tend to read many books at a time, taking each one very slowly. unfortunantly, since I got GW, I havn't read as much as I used to.
