I'm reading Flannery O'Connor's "Good Country People" (short story) right now, but only because I have to for a final tomorrow. I'm ready for school to be out so I can read some stuff I actually want to read.

Just finished reading Grisham's The Testament, which I found to be somewhat shallow, but still quite entertaining.
Just started King's The Shining... strange that I haven't read it yet, considering I've read most of his other works.

I just finished reading Silverthorn by Raymond Feist. I am about to start A darkness at Sethanon (the next book in the series).
Also, I am currently reading The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky but I'll be reading both as soon as I can get to a book store.

I'd only just noticed that a new Terry Pratchett book had been released ("Thief of Time") and I was just worried that it might likewise have already been released, and that I was thus behind the times

I wasn't sure whether or not I was going to like it by the time I got to page 42, but now, 100 pages on, I'm engrossed in the story.

I must be the square peg here too
The Way We Really Are by Stephanie Coontz. I have a very cool neighbor who helped me look for my cat. This book was on her coffee table. I'll probably be seeing more of her.

OK, I never do this, but I am giving up on Naked Lunch. Can anyone explain why this is anymore than a literary curiousity?
