Currently I'm reading "Next" by Michael Crichton, and it definitely qualifies as pleasure. The last book I read for pleasure before that was by Haruki Murakami, called "South of the Border, West of the Sun." It was not his best book. I'd say that was the "Wind-up Bird Chronicle."

Red Alert by Peter George (the novel Kubrick based the movie Dr. Strangelove on).
Before that it was Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille (quite gruesome, but 10000 times greater and more hilarious in retrospect).
I *only* read for pleasure at the moment, but I should probably read more often... bleh.

I just finished "Summer Knight" book 4 in Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series. I'm looking forward to going on to book 5.

A Knight in Shining Amour by Jude Dexerue
Its a time travel romance. At the end you'll cry for an hour.

Bridge To Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
It was listed on a "banned books" or "books with questionable content" list my friend gave me and my daughter's third grade class is reading it so I had to find out what's the big deal. (Plus the movie is coming out next week.)

I read On Writing by Stephen King and I loved it, now I'm in the middle of the Bible and Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris- both of them are entertaining me,

"The Bonfire of the Vanities" by Tom Wolfe. An excellent book!

Life As We Knew It. It's about the end of the world sort of. It freaked me out.
