At present I am reading:

LM Montgomery: Anne of Green Gables (first time, believe it or not - I remembered it was a favourite of my late Mum and now I think I know why she called my sister Anne "with an e" rather than Ann after her own mother)

Ursula Le Guin: Wizard of Earthsea (because I just saw the telly-movie and wanted to remind myself of the book and see how different it is from the movie - first read this series in late 70's)

Laurence J Peter: The Peter Principle (because after years of searching I finally found it again, and so many things in the places I have worked fit his principle - entertaining and informative - you'll never see workplace actions in quite the same light)

Robert Ludlum: Bourne Identity (I keep trying to get into it but I just can't seem to take the characters as seriously as they take themselves)

As for Godel, Escher & Bach: I finally stopped thinking I might read it and gave it away to a work colleague. I've had it for 20 or so years.

That's the list of the ones I do look like finishing, but there are others I pick up, read a bit and then put down again. I do the multi-book thing like mrdux, picking up the one which suits me at the moment.

Is it a librarian thing, Rapaire? Like being at a smorgasbord with too many choices to take one thing at a time, finish it and then start the next? That's how I started the habit, I think.
