I'm trying to read more nonfiction, so I'm currently reading The Political Mind by George Lakoff.

 I love The Picture of Dorian Gray. It's such an interesting book, especially if you consider that it's more than 100 years old and examines issues that are still very topical today.

A random free book I found on my Kobo called 'a dumbarses guide to killing zombies. So crap but so good at the same time

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin. I'm trying to read each book before I see the corresponding episodes on HBO.

Are the episodes that close to the story-line of the books?

loosely but to a degree yeah

I am reading The Play of God by Vanamali which is the story of Krishna. I am also reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. And Whology which is a book all about Dr. Who. I am a very eclectic reader. :)

"Washington: A Life" by Ron Chernow

[lord_george]

To Kill a Mockingbird

[norwaynudist]

Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger

What do you think of it? I remember i enjoyed it, although i never really understood why. I think maybe the writer managed to create a main character who was actually far more interesting than the actual plot.

I'm reading "Is it just me" by Miranda Hart.

I'm not much for American Lit, so I didn't like Catcher in the Rye or To Kill a Mockingbird very much.
I read Bossypants by Tina Fey (it's a quick, funny, and insightful read) and am now on an essay collection called Living with Shakespeare.

I am currently reading a economics book, but it has no English name. It's and analyzing the stock.

I'm finishing up a little recreational reading before next term starts.

I started with Paul MacKendrick's "The North African Stones Speak" a catalogue of Punic-Graeco-Roman archeology,
which led me to E. Mary Smallwood's "The Jews Under Roman Rule: From Pompey to Diocletian" and to Carl B. Smith II's "No Longer Jews: The Search for Gnostic Origins" . . . all interesting stuff.

And because I recently read Dave Barry's "Tricky Business" I am concurrently reading Roulstone & Norbury's "Invisible in the Storm: The Role of Mathematics in Understanding the Weather."

What can I say?  I'm a complex person.
