What you reading right now?

I read multiple books at the same time, (you know what I mean)

Thanks to /lit/, whenever people refer to 'reading multiple books at once' I always think of that picture someone here drew - the one with the guy licking Ulysses and braille-reading Infinite Jest with his foot (or something to that effect).

Op here, I just finished Ulysses. But haven't read infinite jest.

Imaginary Lives by Marcel Schwob. It is really making me want to read more in the whole "imaginary biography" genre. I know I'm missing a lot of references and historical information within each story - especially the ones from ancient Greece and Rome - but I should pick up as they get more modern. And I'm much more excited to read The Book of Monelle now.

And The Catcher in the Rye for my 20th century American literature class.

Are those chilling stones in the whisky? Pig disgusting. Either you want to taste it fully and drink it room temperature, or you just want to pleasanty swill away in which case a bit of dilution doesn't matter either. Those stones say "I'm try hard enough to want to say I don't drink my scotch with ice, but I don't want to taste it" kill kill die die

The Red Room in Swedish.
Illuminati Trilogy ( Eng )
Exploding The Phone ( Eng )
And Finished Metro 2033 Yesterday ( Swedish )

Thought I would finish The Red Room before next week and try to get a bit further in Exploding The Phone before I start another one. But it's not always that easy.
