I'm currently reading "A Deepness in the Sky" by Vernor Vinge. It's pretty good, but not as good as his "A Fire Upon the Deep" that I read a few years ago. I tend to read fiction -- mostly science fiction, fantasy, mystery, historical, and sometimes mainstream.

As for what I get caught reading, as in what the wife makes fun of me for reading, I have a tendency to read the books I really like over and over. I think I've read "The Lord of the Rings" about 50 times now. I've probably been through "Dune" by Frank Herbert almost that often. "The Dark is Rising" (Cooper), "The King Must Die" etc. (Renault), "The Crystal Cave" etc. (Stewart), "The Earthsea Trilogy" ( Le Guin) are other books/series that I've read more than 15 times each.

But what other people find the strangest is when they catch me reading the dictionary.
