At any given time, I tend to be in the middle of ten different books. Chances are, I'll never finish half of them! It's a terrible habbit... maybe one day I'll go back and read the end halves of all the books I've been side-tracked from...

Anyway, back to my question: what are you reading at the moment? (And is it any good)

Oh and to answer my own question I've most recently made my way through 3/4 of Freakonomics, by Steven D Levitt and Stephen J Dubner. Interesting book - kind of reminds me of Malcome Gladwell's The Tipping Point and Blink.

And just in writing this post I've discovered Freakonomics has a blog, too, though at first glance the content doesn't seem much like the book.

I'm reading: The Devil Wears Prada at the moment, and I like it a lot. I just love books that involves fashion in some way. Another one in the same chathagorie is: The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic, extremely funny and a subject that most women I know can relate to ;)

Just finished "The Rescue Artist" by Edward Dolnick...one of the better books I've read...fascinating actually.
Have moved onto "Snobs" by Julian Fellowes...entertaining but not really fantastic. "A year in the Merde" by Stephen Clarke and "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" by Mark Haddon are the next on my list to read, so I'm curious if anyone has read them and what they think.

At the moment i am reading "destructive emotions" it's a dialogue with the dalai lama narrated by daniel goleman, it's really interesting see how our emotions and our reaction to them can affect every aspect of our life. It's a great book, i recommend to everyone that want to read something different. Other great book i just finished to read is "the last templar" by raymond khoury, so the ones who liked the davinci code are going to love this book...
