What are you reading?
I'm always reading the Tao )open a page and read every now and then(, Also reading "nothing feels good", "our band could be your life", and a Novell manual. My GF and I laid in bed last night and read "If Buddha dated" together. it was amazing. She held the book while we both read and we would take turns commenting on parts we found interesting. I recomend "joint-reading" to all the couples in the house.

I just finished reading "Kamanita" by Pitsamai Intarachat Yupho (Originally a Thai book, translated into English)- it's a fictional love story set in the time of the Buddha. It's really cool because it's short and sweet, but very deep. Towards the end, the author does a surprisingly compelling description of the cosmos, and puts the Buddha's teachings about the nature of life and the universe into very easy to digest terms. It really made me think a LOT.
I've been reading a few books by Neal Stephenson. Just finished Snow Crash, for the second time, and Loved it! I'm now reading Cryptonomicon, which is quite a read.
Every Ann McCaffery book, I have read at least twice. Ditto for the local library's entire Sci-Fi collection, most of the mysteries, about 1\5th of the bibliographies of folks at local library, etc.
Fun getting used to reading with right eye, and using left eye for distance. Eye doctors are getting to the point where they are recommending one eye, monocular, for reading and computing, and one eye for distance. I have had a retinal tissue hole repaired with an argon laser about 4 weeks ago, that healed in fine, and have glasses plus a contact in right eye only to induce nearsightedness in right eye. This last happened after the strabismus surgeon said absolutely NOT to let anyone straighten right eye. Problem is, right eye is now straightening itself, to have binocular vision I also have double vision. Using right eye as I type, LEFT eye to check typing.

Also reading Scientific American, HOW and Computer Monitor (Sort of my computer wish-list)
I seemed to have lost the book though. I can't find it anywhere =(
That's some real...errr...uhhh... uplifting reading.
And currently reading Architects of Victory: Six Heroes of the Cold War by Joseph Shattan for Politcal Science.

When I'm done these I'm planning to read The Roadside Picnic and The Colour of Magic
I read them based on what I feel interested in continuing at the moment but thankfully I can remember the plots and earlier chapters of each book I'm reading so I don't get lost if I just happen to switch on a whim.
Then there's my drawing, code breaking/cryptography, and magic books but they're more hobbyist tutorials.
I guess my comic books would count as well but I can read those in an hour or two so eh. (Comics being 300 page + volumes not individual comics)
Basically as an arts student I have way too much time on my hands so I fill it reading, playing, and drawing/practicing magic.
Also the Dresden Files has a new book coming out TOMORROW! I've had it on preorder for months.
