What book(s) are you reading now?

    Or, what book(s) have you read recently? I always like to see what others' recommendations are, as I have found some books/authors I wouldn't have known about otherwise. So, my recent reads:

    I AM AMERICA (AND SO CAN YOU!) - Stephen Colbert
    I'm sure the majority of you have seen The Colbert Report and know the kind of character that he is. I am a fan of the show, and I really enjoyed the book. I frequently caught myself laughing out loud while reading this. All of Stephen's character and beliefs condensed into 250 or so pages; an enjoyable read.

    Lamb - Christopher Moore
    This book's premise is very interesting: it occupies the 30 years or so of Jesus' life before his crucifixion. As there are no stories of Christ's life apart from his birth and death, this book is an imaginative (and fictional, of course) account of the life of Jesus. It a very fun book to read, and I had a very hard time putting this book down to do anything else.

    and I am currently reading Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road by Neil Peart. For those of you who don't know who Neil Peart is, he is the drummer for the Canadian band Rush. This was written after Neil lost his family; his daughter to a car accident, and his wife to cancer a year afterwards.

    Anyways, I'd love to see what others are reading! :)

    As usual, I am reading several at once. Right now (this will change tomorrow) I am re-reading John Fowles's French Lieutenant's Woman, Stendhal's The Red and The Black (and his Charterhouse of Parma), Afterwords: Novelists on their Novels, Virginia Woolf's Diary, Reading and Writing, by Julien Gracq.
