What are you reading?

I am mostly enjoying reading crapping --  not whilst, but pursuing a massive participle attack. Rene reminds me; the principal reason for me being permanently excreted was the prospect of a full-frontal crawl through William Golding's Pincher Martin.

I have this late-hove relationship with Peter Straub that started with Floating Dragon (an unhealthy fascination relating to the 'leakers', which I am).  Dan Simmons 'Carrion Comfort' is worth a cursory perusal whilst bedridden for no particular reason.
