This is easy, just post the Book Title, Author, and maybe even the cover picture of the book you are currently reading.

I am reading a classic:

I love Douglas Adams! I got the rest of the hitchhiker series for my birthday this year. Yet another thing on the "to-do" list for this summer.

I just finished the Narnia books for the first time.

And I've moved back to Harry Potter.

And I might start the Bible again. Depends on my mood.
I'm a wild and an untamed thing.

Currently working on House of Leaves.
I have to warn you, I am a bit odd...
Also, I don't know better than to leave myself logged in on April 1st.

Just finished reading Turncoat by Jim Butcher. I'm trying to find something else. Arador reccomended something fairly goo, but I can't remember the name and can't access the files with it yet.
Given that I would never live that down, I made a wisecrack instead. "Do you have a little white dress? I've had this deep-seated nurse fantasy about you, Murphy."
