What are you reading now?
I recently read Remain in Love by Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz, and it's revived my love of post-punk, so I'm currently rereading Rip It Up and Start Again by Simon Reynolds. I'm very late to the party, but a friend lent me a few Ursula LeGuin books so I'm working my way through them too. I'm about to start reading Middlemarch, which is the book of the season for the next issue of The Happy Reader.
