Hmm... I haven't really been doing much serious reading since I graduated. Most of what I read is for pleasure. Here's my list... Recent Fiction: Just finished Charles Dickens' Tale of Two Cities. Finishing up The Complete Stories of Dorothy Parker. In the middle of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Proofreading an e-book manuscript called Cimarron Surrender for an e-publisher. As soon as I finish the Dorothy Parker book, I'll be starting on Don Quixote. Recent Non-Fiction: Adobe InDesign user guide and manual. Real World InDesign (like Real World Bryce, but for another program). All-Time Favorite Fiction: Barry Hughart's Bridge of Birds. William Goldman's Princess Bride. Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I don't really have any favorite non-fiction books, except maybe my Dictionary of Word Origins or GAG's Pricing & Ethical Guidelines because I refer to them a lot. I like any non-fiction book that I end up regularly using as a reference book.
