Wha'cha Readin'?

Wow - am reading a LOT of things - BUT a lot are for home-designed study courses I'm doing.  I also seem to have this - um - disability.  You see, I take back books regularly.  I take back 4 - and check out 6, take back 4 more, check out another 6.  Somehow this is starting to resemble my stash!
