Snizz.... the least you could to to make us look moderately literate would be to spell the subject header correctly. Unless we got misdirected and this is actually supposed to be about eading.
I'm eading cake.

Rabbit Angstrom by John Updike compiles Updike's four Rabbit novels (Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit is Rich; Rabbit at Rest) that follow this dude's life. Updike wrote/published this series one every ten years (1960, 1970, 1980, 1990), so the idea is you watch the 2nd half of the twentieth century through one man's perspective.
The best thing about Rabbit Angstrom is that if you read it on the bus the sexy Lisa Loebish account manager across the aisle might think you're literate. When combined with your dashing good looks, this glimpse into your obviously complicated soul will probably make her want to suck your cock.
The worst thing about Rabbit Angstrom is that it is very, very heavy book.

I'm now reading Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver. I've enjoyed two of her other books and we'll see about this one, I'm only a few pages in.

Getting ready to start reading The Archivist by Martha Cooley. I've heard it's terrific. Here's a summary:
Matthias is a librarian, a man of orderly ways, responsible for safeguarding a sealed cache of T.S. Eliot's letters. Roberta is a young poet with an unabashed and oddly intense interest in the letters. Propelled by startling truths hidden and revealed, this extraordinary novel drawn richly upon the poems of T.S. Eliot and the intellectual and social climate of postwar New York City as it explores the redemptive power of art and the challenge of forging a moral and meaningful life in the modern world.

Haven't heard anyone's reading list for a while.
I'm just finishing up Godspeed by Lynn Breedlove, which is a novel about butch dykes and massive amounts of injecting drugs. Fascinating.
Next, I'm finally going to read A Clockwork Orange. Never even seen the movie, and on recommendation of A-Law, am undertaking the novel instead.

Hey now, I never said to read the book INSTEAD of the movie, but rather to read Burgess' novel first to get a good feel for the language.
Let's keep that straight

Ok, I concede that IS what you said.
I started the book last night and only got about five pages in. I hate it already. It's stupid.

i'm halfway through David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest," and while i know i should hate him cause he's a pompous asshole, i love him cause he's brilliant and absolutely fucking hilarious and speaks to me as a writer (yes, i actually said "speaks to me as a writer") more than any author i've ever read. this book is fucking brilliant, and wallace is a fucking genius.
anyone else read it?

I just borrowed Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them by Franken. I'm loving it for it's political aspect as well as the fact that he's just really damn funny.
