I'm reading a number of books simultaneously:
As I lay dying by William Faulkner. In Amerika by Maarten van Rossem. Het Achterhuis by Anne Frank. The World of Words: An illustrated history of Western languages by Victor Stevenson. Then there are another half a dozen books lying around that I've ready partly and should really finish some time in the near future.

My current bus-back-home-from-work reading stuff is an issue of the French magazine Science et Avenir, which mainly deals with nuclear physics and cosmology. Yesterday I read about the photon, and today I'll be reading about mappings of six-dimensional universes (and maybe get an explanation fort this unexpected choice of dimensions - normal string theory with supersymmetries needs 11 dimensions, some of which are curled up so that we can'¨t see them). Normally I read about such matters in English, so this is a nice diversion.
My most interesting find on the internet today was an article about the excavation of the remains of a pyramide which housed something as unusual as the grave of a female Pharaoh named Seshestet (mother of Pepi 1). There is a list of female pharaohs here And in something like 5 minutes time I'm going to bed, where my current falling-fast-asleep book is an Icelandic translation of the Odyssey - it is surprisingly easy to understand (and boring enough not to keep me awake).
