Honestly, I love books. I love them more than I love wrestling. I've been buying at least one book every one or two weeks lately, reading and finishing them quickly, and I'm sure most of you aren't as book crazy as I am, but I am curious to what my fellow crappers read...
In a nutshell, last book I've read was Hard-Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World by Haruki Murakami, and now I've bought The Prestige and, while not really a novel, Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show at a discount section in a bookstore.

The last book I finished was The Appeal by John Grisham. I'm currently reading two books actually. I'm alternating between The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and 1984 by George Orwell. I like to multitask.

I believe the last book I read was 'A Lion's Tale', sometime late last year. It was a great, great read. I want to read Bret Hart's book soon.

Listening to a lot of audio books lately while I clean and cook and take care of other mundane chores. Mostly science fiction short stories.
As for actually legit reading something, I just finished Dean Koontz "The Bad Place" a little over a month ago. Right now for light reading in my bathroom I'm thumbing through The Red Badge of Courage, which I've read several times so it's more of a revisit than anything.

Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Beatles by Geoff Emerick
That's a must read if you are either a student of pop music, recording history or Beatles fan.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Just finished it just a week ago after about 5 months of reading. It's a big book, we'll over 600,000 words, but we'll worth the read.
And before that I read Tietam Brown by Mick Foley.

What did you think of Tietam Brown? I personally adored that book and have read through it several time since I finally got a hold of it. It's an amazing tale of controlled insanity. A lot of people compalined about how "dark" it is but it's borderline gray to me at most. There is a few tidbits (ok quite a few) of some twisted scenes but I think they're overplayed in just how bad those parts are. I highly recommend reading this book for a little taste of something different for some quick fun.
