These days I'm usually reading on the commute to and from work. But sometimes I'm really tired and use that time to catch some z's. So I've been nursing "In the time of the butterflies," by Julia Alvarez. I should have finished it some time ago. Good book so far.

Before that I read High Fidelity, by Nick Hornsby. Okay book. I actually like the movie better which is rare.

I'm reading "Don Quijote de la Mancha." I'm not going to read the whole book though, just some of it to get the overall idea. I don't usually like older books, as I find them harder to understand (especially when they aren't written in my native language), but I actually really like this one, so I'll put up with my reading difficulties! lol. It's famous so a lot of you have probably read it, but for those who have not...it's a really cute story about this man, don Quijote, and he is so into cowboy stories/knight stories that he wants to be one, and he sets out to become a cowboy on his lame horse, Rocinante and thinks he's going to go down in history. He's crazy, but the things he does are comical. Gotta love it!

The latest Discworld book by Terry Pratchett, "Making Money". Next will either be the last Harry Potter book or maybe a reread of Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".

Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber. I'd been waiting a long time to read this one.

my FAVORITE movie.

i'm reading "Lords of the Levee" by Lloyd Wendt and Herman Kogan because I am obsessed with Chicago history right now.

I generally end up reading non-fiction works.
