I am reading "money ball" its about the general manager of the A's Billy bean. If you like sports or business READ this book. It talks about how the A's can field a competitive team with so little money. A great read :)

therapy by david lodge is painfully funny! I haven't read a book thats made me laugh for such a long time!
At the minute i'm reading short stories by ernest hemingway, i love his simplistic style of writing and his raw perception of imagery of the deep south.

I saw that one on the Big Read and I think I will get it soon. I also bought Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, which by the way was excellant, as a result of it.

I own Hitchhiker's Guide but have never read it. I like The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury and I used to read Jules Verne.
