I index books, so I go through a lot of them. Right now, I have 3 on my desk. One is about developing teachers, one about teaching math and a really thick one I've been ignoring about Something.

Sadly, I don't read for pleasure any more, but I used to enjoy biographies. Now, reading is too similar to work.

I enjoy recorded books, though, for those times I'm doing something mindless with my hands. For those times, I prefer books with no redeeming social value. I'm several hours into "Across the Nightengale Floor" by, um, somebody. It's a great blood-and-guts fantasy romance. Just what I need.
