What book are you reading right now?

I thought I'd revive this classic old thread as I couldn't find the original.
I am currently reading Suetonius, 'The Twelve Caesars'.
How about you?

Re-reading my favourite book ever. On the cover is a quote from Salman Rushdie that says "it beats getting drunk". He's right, it does. A wonderful, funny, beautifully written, memorable and evocative masterpiece.
"Water Music" by TC Boyle.

Sorry cannot do images from an iPad, but if you're interested (and you should be) then you'll search in Amazon or similar...

Ben Elton novel is very good , shows he is more than a comedy writer. Ironic subject.

Thanks, Huw.
I really like Sassoon's poems but never read any of his prose.
I very highly recommend the selection of short stories in 'Memory Wall'. The writing is just exquisite and the stories take place in different corners of our world.

Nowhere near as good as The Rotters Club. A bit hard going but certainly readable. As for "hilarious" I've read funnier phone books.
