Just finished an S. J. Perelman book whose titile I cannot remember. Before that it was Great Expectations and The Red Badge of Courage.

Since I teach several courses, I read all the time. And I read of lot of the classics. I even read The Iliad last semester.

For fun I have a Celtic Mythology book next to the bed. I also have classes reading--and therefore I am reading along--The Catcher in the Rye, The Fellowship of the Ring, and will soon issue The Fountainhead.

My favorite writer is Pat Conroy because I think he's the best writer on earth (since Bill Shakespeare bought the farm). But I read just about anything, and I read all the time.
