I'm reading this:

It's by David Sedaris, a frequent contributor to my favorite radio show, This American Life. Quite good so far.

Rereading through the first 11 volumes I have of Ultimate Spiderman in between my biweekly stops at the comic store

I'm currently finishing off Mostly Harmless, the fifth HHG book. I'm also still reading The Prestige by Christopher Priest.

Technically I was reading:

Before I discovered that I apparently no longer have the attention span required to read...
Part of me hopes to one day be able to read again...

I just finished the Bourne Supremacy yesterday. Trying to make it a point to only read while at work.

Just started the Bourne Ultimatum to finish up the trilogy.

Not sure if gonna read the other two or find a new series. Still need to buy the Gun Seller.

And don't we have a books thread?

Just finished The Walking Dead vol. 8 and I'm still shaking

Currently reading Astonishing X-Men vol. 4 and wishing this wasn't Joss Whedon's final run on the book.

After that, I have Batman and Son in the wings and Y: The Last Man vol. 5.

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. 5th time and still great. Even though his later novels are better written.

Sorry Acebot. I was trying to quote and reply to your post, but I accidently ended up editting your post and I deleted the whole thing.

Very embarrassing...

Isn't this like the 2-3 time you did this?

What was he reading?

I just finished The Elegant Universe. It's about string theory. Professor S, something you'd might be interested in.

That one is from around the mid- to late-nineties, so it's a bit out of date especially considering the fast pace of string theory, or M-theory as it is known now. So I am on to Greene's sequel of sorts, The Fabric of the Cosmos. Hopefully they've figured out some of the stuff they hadn't yet figured out by the time Elegant Universe was published.

Reading A Game of Thrones, first book in the series A Song of Fire and Ice. I'm surprised by how good it is.

I go through ups and downs in my reading habits as well. At some times I have an unquenchable thirst for reading, at other times I just don't care one page into any book. I would guess you're just in a lull in your reading interest, and that it will come back.
