I try to read one or two novels a week; quick ones, like Harry Potter--which despite being around 700 pages, took about 2.5 days--or amazingly slow ones, like Umberto Eco's Baudolino (Amazon.com: Baudolino: Books: Umberto Eco,William Weaver,) which despite not being that long, is taking me a record 3 months. I just can't seem to read more than 30 pages at any given time without wanting to read something else.

I get antsy and a little weird if I can't read a book; 1000 pages a week is normal, plus whatever I read on the computer.

Latest to go down:
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby Amazon.com: High Fidelity: A Novel: Books: Nick Hornby
Nobel House by James Clavell Amazon.com: Noble House: Books: James Clavell
what matters most is how well you walk through fire by Charles Bukowski Amazon.com: What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire: Books: Charles Bukowski
And a few chew-through Star Wars books--they are totally candy to me!!

Cheers.
