Thread Name: Books: What Are You Reading?
Subject: RE: BS: What Are You Reading?
Always got any number started.
Finished Waugh's Scoop and Haddon Curious Incident..., both enjoyable, both rather overrated in my opinion.
Nearly finished Fritz Perls Gestalt Therapy Verbatim (fascinating).
Recently started Lao Tse's Tao Te King (now that's a revolutionary one),The Therapist's Use of the Self (Rowan & Jacobs) and Academy Zappa (Proceedings of a Zappa Conference, edd. Watson & Leslie).

If this is a thread drift too far, forget it, but I'd be very interested in how people decide what to read, given the indigestibly vast amount to choose from. With me , it's work-related, been-meaning-to-for-....,serendipity, recommendation,feeling like it, it's the first one I see, duty,etc.etc.

On the other hand, sometimes I just can't decide, as tho' I've never read a book and don't know to begin.
