I am reading two books right now. At home I read the original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes stories. Very entertaining, even almost 150 years since they were written.



When I work, I keep this in my car and read at lunch time.



I was recommended this series long ago but finally decided to read it. Very enjoyable so far.

I have just finished 'Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction' by Sue Townsend.  It is really funny and I literally laughed out loud at the airport and on the plane home.  I just love Adrian!!  :)

Rip It Up and Start Again by Simon Reynolds. It's about Post Punk and so far good.

By the bed...."Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". I find that I am hypnotized by JK Rowling's talent. Also reading various nursing books, until I graduate from LPN school.

A Load of Old Rubbish by A Stephan Nonsense. >:D

Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoevsky.  (Not in the original Russian, though.)

In parallel with:

Economics in One Lesson, by Henry Hazlitt.

Next up: The Republic, by Plato.  (Not in the original Greek, of course.)

I'm not selecting books that demand anything less than full focus lately.  This makes them more satisfying to read, but makes them less effective at passing the time when you're sitting somewhere around people.
