Re: What 'cha reading?
I've got a couple of books going at the moment.
I'm almost finished with "The Reluctant Tuscan", by Phil Doran.
I'm about a 1/4 of the way through "Start Late, Finish Rich", by David Bach.
Both are quite good.

Re: What 'cha reading?
I've always been a one book at a time type gal, if the book is good, I devour it and have no desire to read another until it is finished. Not a problem for I've gotten myself in trouble reading way too late then can't get up when the radio goes off.
You multiple bookers, do you have them all lying around your house or are they sprinkled around several different locations (such as work, home, beach bag, etc) ??
The last book I read was The Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Great book, I highly recommend it.
I am now reading Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer (same guy that wrote Into Thin Air) . It's now a Sean Penn directed movie, saw him and the movie's star make the TV talk circuit and they convinced me, not to go see the movie but to read the book! 
Yep, I'll be seeing the movie as well.

I heard that was good, but I always remain leary. How does he handle POV? That's a deal-breaker for me. I'd love an idea about it before I purchase.

What 'cha reading?
POV??
Get it from the library, it's easy reading, a 200 pager.
Finished it late last week and I liked it a lot, especially the last 30 or so pages.
Alexander Supertramp certainly led an existential life his last 2 yrs on earth, I admire him, not many have the intestinal fortitude to attempt what he did. He's got my respect.

What 'cha reading?
I'm reading Alexander McCall Smiths latest in the '44 scotland street' series called 'The World According to Bertie' - all these books are a great read. This series started off being a book being written weekly in a newspaper and got so popular he made them into novels. An amazing story teller, these books are all about community life and all the funny/weird etc characters in an area of Edinburgh (scotland) - very very enjoyable. Bertie is a 6yr old who desperately wants to be a normal boy but who's mother makes him take all sorts of classes like Italian, saxaphone etc and makes him wear 'crushed strawberry' coloured dungaree's....it's very good. Light, humorous and spot on when it comes to characterisations.

Re: What 'cha reading?
I have been reading several series (not all at once)
The Necroscope Series by Brian Lumley ( a total of 14 books in the series) excellent Sci-fi/thriller/espionage story with a different twist on the origin of Vampires and Werewolves .
The 'In Death' series by J. D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) there's 23 books in this series and I love J.D's style of writing and absolutely love her Main Character Luetienent Eve Dallas...Dallas's idiosequencies and out look on life in general is so true to life hilarious.
I'm currently trying to locate a book I haven't read in a long long long time and want to add to my collection and that's
Johnathan Livingston Seagull
I am also ready a religious semi-fictional/factual series called
The Work and the Glory by Gerald N. Lund
like everyone else I absolutely love reading among some of my favorite authors are;
Stephen King
Jack London
Walter Farley
Anne Rice
Nora Roberts
J.D. Robb
Erika Spindler
I'm drawing a blank on the rest of the authors I like ...I'll have to check out my Library and compile the list of authors I have more than one book by.

Re: What 'cha reading?
I just finished two books in a series by Maggie Anton, called Rashi's Daughters. About the daughters of a medievel Jewish scholar (real guy). He had no sonse se he educated his daughters, some romance, and it is a "girl" book, but really good!
I also just finished The Mascot by Mark Kurzem. True story of a Jewish boy who was the troop mascot for Latvian SS soldiers.
