I always try to keep one anthology and one novel/poetry collection/drama on my plate at a time, alternating 100 pages at a time. I also have a very neurotic method for choosing what to read next (to be described in minute detail later), but here’s what I’m reading right now:

1. “The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath”
2. “Twelve Centuries of English Literature”
3. “Best Newspaper Writing 2007-08 Edition,” The Poynter Institute
4. “Ada,” Vladimir Nabokov
5. “William Shakespeare: A Popular Life,” Garry O’Connor
