Inlander:
Absolutely.  If you don't want to read a poem out loud, at the very least you must mouth the words.  Savour them, like you would a fine wine.

Anyway, due to financial restrictions I'm finally catching up on all the books I've had sitting on my bookshelf for the last 10 years, which means right now I'm reading The Bird Artist by Howard Norman.  It's okay, but it's not nearly as good as the quotes on the cover would have you believe: a lot of the dialogue in particular is horribly clunky and unrealistic.

Before that, I read Waxwings by Jonathan Raban, which was absolutely fantastic.  Not flawless, certainly, but it definitely made me want to seek out more of his books.

In between, I'm trying to read my own damn awful handwriting.

Eldirial:
For reading- I've just written a paper for my American Lit class on some of the poems of Stephen Crane (Best known for writing The Red Badge of Courage) and I must say... this guy had some very, very interesting poetry- the kind which holds true when you read it a hundred years after he wrote it, and I am sure longer.  

Never even knew this guy had written poetry... X.x

I need to read more, and I allready read so much!

est:
just finished reading A Storm of Swords - book 3 of the Song of Ice & Fire series by George R R Martin.  it was super happy awesome.  Fantasy that reads kinda like European history.  pretty cool!

i am halfway through a couple of philosophy books that i can't remember the titles of.  i pick them up every now and then and read a few chapters.  i find that they turn my brain to mush if i try to read them like a novel.

started on "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson this morning.  it's a really recent release too, as it talks about his suicide and so forth.

Stranger Dan:
So Long and Thanks for All the Fish: Yeah this will be the third Hitchhiker's Guide book I read this year. So much for variety.
I just finish the sixth Harry Potter. I thought that it was pretty good but I swear these kids get dumber every year.

Simulacra:
okay, just finished "Burning Chrome" and next is a toss up between "Wolves of the Calla" by Stephen King or St. Augustines "Confessions"  help me out kids, do I want mindless pulp fiction fluff or a mental exercise in theological speculation?

edit: I think I might have just broken the English language
