What book are you currently reading, or recommend?

I think I started this thread on bucknuts the day I was banned.

An Unfinished Life: JFK by Robert Dallek

The Safety of Objects by A.M. Homes. It's sort of a one or two-day read though.

Have Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley, The Life of Pi by Yann Martel (this would be the second attempt at that one), and The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath stacked on the table here to grab next.

All I know is that the queue of things I want to read grows faster than the pile that I've finished reading.

Resurrected: Shroud's Message Revealed 2,000 Years Later. By Gilbert Lavoie.

Short book my wife has been suggesting I should read. I am planning on tracking down some of those that were suggested in the other thread.

I just got done reading "Motherless Brooklyn" by Jonathan Lethem, a humorous "detective" story where the antagonist has Tourettes. It was hilarious! Now I'm trying to decide whether to read Hillary Clinton's "Living History" or Jonathan Franzen's "How to Be Alone." (Some of you right wingers would probably suggest that the way to "be alone" is to read Hillary's book :) )

Read The ClinTon Wars instead. I just bought it and will tackle it after finishing JFK.

Tibor, The Clinton Wars is on my list, as well as Bob Woodward's new book. So many books, so little time! I read nonfiction for a living (I'm an editor at MIT Press), so I like to read fiction in my spare time. These books are exceptions, though.

I'm reading "Violets are Blue" by James Patterson. I just finished "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen, and I wanted something mindless to read for a little while.

Grad- "What it Means to be a Buckeye" is a great book. I plan on re-reading it just before football season to get me even more jacked up.
