I usually have like 3 at a time, often one for fun, one about current events, one that I just procrastinate on.
Currently for fun:
The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem
http://www.amazon.com/Fortress-S…
Current events/political:
China Inc. by Ted C. Fishman
http://www.amazon.com/China-Inc-…
and
Against All Enemies by Richard Clarke
http://www.amazon.com/Against-Al…
All three are highly recommended.

Your reading MAUS? What are you in like 4th grade?

In terms of book books, I rarely read fiction.
I leave that up to the massive amounts of comic books I read.
/me realizes he called digdre out on being in 4th grade, then proceeded to state he reads comic books still.

I am reading a few books all at once, but primarily:
I'm also slowly reading an assortment of McSweeny's books, which I buy as much for the artwork and book design as I do the benefit of getting through short stories so much faster!

"Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens- i find dickens' characters to be really one-dimensional... he's like a comic book writerscarabin_net
- This is the first time I've read any Dickens, so, you know. Not sure I totally see the one dimensionality yet, but, at least the dialogue is good.skwiotsmith
- ...the dialogue is good.skwiotsmith
- I love the dialogue in this book, if you like Dickens dialogue, I would suggest Hard Times, Bounderby is hilarious in a very bleak talethreadpost
- ....a very bleak tale. one of his minor works, but still amazing:
