What are you reading right now?

I'm reading The Stand now and I think its the best book by Stephen King already. The dialogue and characterization feels so much more profound than it does in any of his other books.

No one will ever surpass Rolfe Humphries' translation of Ovid's Metamorphosis. Every so often I love to sit down with my copy and just lose myself in the lush language of this text. Each words drips of beauty.

The End: The Destruction of Hitler's Germany 1944-1945. Basically why did Germany fight on in the last year when it was clear that they had lost and it was clear that the Allies were going to obliterate them economically and industrially.

Woody Guthrie's autobiography, which has one of the greatest book names ever. "Bound for Glory: The Hard-Driving, Truth-Telling Autobiography of America's great Poet-Folk Singer". It's amazing.
 
Academic journal articles related to environmental studies. Hooray for schoolwork!

Not much of a reader but the last thing I managed to read is a story that our own @Satan has made.
 
Just finished Perdido Street Station.

That fucking ending, man.

Going to start either The Years of Rice and Salt or Cryptonomicon tomorrow, depending on what I'm feeling.

EDIT: Decided to start reading Thomas Ligotti's Conspiracy Against The Human Race instead. It was nominated from the Bram Stoker award in nonfiction, and I'm really curious as to what that entails.

Reading over class notes to study for a test. They include topics such as malaria, biofuels, ozone levels, and other climate change related things.
 
Just finished The Wolves Of London and all I have to say is holy shit. I already ordered the next two books.
 
I enjoy torturing myself with my literature. I recently tried making sense of Finnegan's Wake, and am now reading 120 Days of Sodom. Help me.

I'm reading World War Z for the second time. It's my favorite zombie story alongside the original Walking Dead comic and its video game adaption. They all get the secret to making a good zombie story. That it's not about the zombies, it's about the survivors.

Currently reading ASOIAF. Really digging it. Lots of good prose in it. Some of the parts are cringeworthy, but I think that's on purpose.

Strange Angel, the biography of Jack Parsons, one of the most important American rocket scientists, who was also a bit crazy.
