What are you currently reading?

For me it's :
The Monk when I'm on public transport.
Cicero's On Duties that I study in depth during the day time, and I keep a short story collection by Chekov near my bed that I read before I go to sleep.

Nothing, I can't decide what I want to read next. I'm waiting for that moment where I become enthusiastic enough about something enough to tear through it.

I also suspect it is good for me to not always be reading and have periods that focus more on direct sensory experiences rather than abstractions.

Maybe I should just reread L'Immoraliste.
