    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.

    I've been struggling through three books myself in addition to the "Bathroom Readers".

    I have been frying my brain on three of Richard Feynman's books on physics, his thesis "A New Approach to Quantum Theory", "Tips on Physics" and "Six Easy Pieces". Believe me, the "Bathroom Reader" is much more entertaining!

    Chris.

    P.S.

    If anyone wants these books after I finish with them you are more than welcome to them as a gift...(NOT the "Bathroom Readers"!)
