I got two books on the go at the moment. One is called "The Secret History of Al-Qa'ida"

The other is a light-hearted read to balance out my Ying-Yang (Bad Karma) from the first book. It's called I LICK MY CHEESE and it's about messages left to each other when flat sharing - it's hilarious.
 
I do that as well - read something heavy and something light. I read a lot of history - just finished: April 1865 - the month that saved America and am now reading the Dark Elf Trilogy.
 
Yeah...you know...it's weird but if I've watched something profoundly dark and disturbing, I like to watch a bit of general light hearted TV that Id never usually watch. Even if it's random sport!!!! Kinda clears the pallate before bed LOL
 
Unfortunately I have to read so many specialist books about balancing/accounting and econometrics for university that I really don't feel like reading much other books at the moment. :(

Yeah I know what you mean. When I was at University I was so fed up of reading stuff, that reading for pleasure just seemed like more reading...which it was? What am I trying to say here...? Ah whatever. I know what I mean.
 
When I was in college, my favorite book was the Lord of the Rings. Still probably my favorite but I haven't read it in a long time. I used to read it to escape all of the drudgery I was forced to read.

I know it, too. Reading other "stuff" seems like an additional burden. Currently, with the tests only two weeks ahead, even reading the daily newspaper seems like waisting your time when you should be reading other things.

Glad that it's over next year when I'm graduating and finally receive my diploma.

I wish I could handle it like Mayfield669, to read in order to escape and relax, but that doesn't work for me.
 
Nor for me when I've read and read. Need to relax the old eyes from following text.

 
I'm reading "A Wind in the Door" from Madeleine L'Engle's amazing series. I really reccomend the first one, "A Wrinkle in Time"
