What Are You Reading?

[feranaja]

I was tempted to say non-occult, since we have a path-related book thread, but formany of us consider everything ties in with our occultism so I'll leave it as it.

I suppose I'm wondering what overly non-occult stuff interests people? Fpr example I like reading travel and nature books, Peter Mayle's Provence series, I like Diane Ackerman, and of course Stephen Jay Gould... James Herriott is hilarious, not just for daughters of veterinarians either.
I read a lot of CanLit too, but I never seem to have enough time for literature anymore.Any new dog thing that comes out I'm all over, but especially appreciate Pat McConnell, Jon Katz, Suzanne CLothier and Jeffrey Masson (on animals in general).
And I read cookbooks for fun, it's sort of my version of pornography - look but don't touch!:laugh:

What are you reading now? What would you like to get around to but never seem to make time for?

I rarely read much outside of course required reading but I just recently bought Talk to the Hand by Lynne Truss.

It has a sub title of The Utter Bloody Rudeness of Everyday Life and its about how rude and inconsiderate society has become. Its funny and its one of those books where you recognize each character portrayal as if you had shared those few impolite moments them personally.

This book will be remembered for its humour and also because I was so keen to read it that I got on the right bus, but going in the wrong direction, which I didn't notice until I was almost at Elephant and Castle - where I had just come from. I guess that means I liked it :D

...everything ties in with our occultism...Even when we would rather it not it seems. The last book I was looking at was Derrida's Of Grammatology. What was he on about?
