I usually don't have a big stack. In fact I can't understand people who are constantly reading 8 books or something. I usually have A book. It's MY book. If I misplace it, there's panic. It's like an essential item of comfort and security until I'm finished. Then it's just a book again. That said, I have a stack right now.


Roman Myths by Michael Grant
Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen by Larry McMurtry
The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Gene Wolf
