I'm more of a nonfiction kind of guy. I'm currently on Bob Dylan's Chronicles. I'll probably re-read Chuck Palahniuk's Choke when I get it back from my closest-female-acquaintance-that-I'm-still-trying-to-impress just so I can talk about it with her. Cos I mean, yeah. I only read to impress girls.

I'm presently reading "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. 1100 pages, including 90 pages of endnotes alone, and featuring literally hundreds of major characters. It's brilliant so far.

H.L. Mencken - In Defense of Women: Social satire from the roaring 20s. A lot of what he says is still relevant today.
Scott McCloud - Re-inventing Comics: I read his 'Understanding Comis' and wanted to see what else he had to say. It's a fun look at how the comics industry is evolving.
I normally don't read two books at once, but I was in the mood for something different and picked up Menken's book.
