I'm ALWAYS reading more than one book at a time.
Actually reading: -Life of Pi -Fahrenheit 451 (sorry Pester, not familiar with Bradbury's work... this is his first book I've read)
"Reading" -The Mysteries of Udolpho by Anne Radcliffe -Some Dick Francis mystery... can't remember the name
Mandatory School Reading -To Kill a Mockingbird

I used to only read one thing at a time, but now school is always forcing me to read multiple things, plus I have the unsavory habit of losing books for a few days and picking up something else until I find it again.
A smart person I know having recently read fahrenheit 451 might be the best I can do interview wise, if you think it'll take you less than a month for you to read.
I hate, hate, hate research papers. Which is more natural I ask you, releasing a brilliant and creative essay in a matter of hours based on what you know like a bird lets out a song, or taking a million stupid notes and writing stupid outline and doing stupid interviews and finding stupid secondary research to confirm that your not having an original thought and then writing it over a week?
Oh, topic.. Finished If Chins Could Kill and 1984. 1984 has like, 28 pages on politics and history and communism (which I somehow stayed awake through) right before the climax. And then there is an extremely unhappy ending, as is typical to George Orwell.
If Chins Could Talk is hilarious, it makes me want to rent every one of Bruce Campbells movies and then write him fan letters even though the only things I've really seen him in are a few episode of Lois & Clark and Xena.

It probably won't take too long to finish (I hope) but I'm going to France in two weeks, so I may not have time to be on much next week or (since I'll be in France) for the three weeks after that. Sorry... I also HATE research papers and the kind of assignments you have to prepare a ridiculous amout for. Things do usually come out more naturally and probably better if you don't have to work out exactly what you're doing in stupid little details and 50 outlines and all that crap. Usually it just ends up being more confused and muddled and worse than if you'd cranked it out the weekend before... Ugh.
