I was having a discussion the other day with co-workers of what books we were each reading. I found the question hard to answer quickly or coherently as I tend to read on four or five books at a time. I also tend to go in spurts with respect to reading activity. Here is what I'm currently reading:
Backstabber by Tim Cockey
Guilty Pleasures by Laurel K Hamilton
Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
Come Thirsty by Max Lucado
Mental Health Administration (edited book)
Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry by Harry Stack Sullivan
Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Religion by James Jones
I've been working on Gravity's Rainbow for some time now. I'm told it is one of the hardest books in the English language to finish. I take some solace in the fact that a PhD English Literature candidate recently told me that neither he nor many of his professors have ever finished the book.
