What are some of the books you are reading? Do you have a goodreads account?

No goodreads account. Don't even know what it is.

Most of the books I haven't touched in months, and I really should finish them. I've only been actively reading a few of them:

True North: Peary, Cook, and the Race to the Pole by Bruce Henderson, Big Dead Place: Inside the Strange and Menacing World of Antarctica by Nicholas Johnson, Mozart and the Whale: An Asperger's Love Story by Jerry and Mary Newport, The Dead Travel Fast: Stalking Vampires from Nosferatu to Count Chocula by Eric Nuzum, England's Secret Weapon: The Wartime Films of Sherlock Holmes by Amanda J. Field, A Maze of Death by Philip K. Dick, Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles by Kim Newman, and Sherlock Holmes on Screen: The Complete Film and TV History by Alan Barnes.

Okay, more than a few. Still, it's less than half of the books I've got that have bookmarks sticking out of them.

It's a site where you can review books and make recommendations and see books that are similar to your favorite books.

Ah. I occasionally post a review on Amazon, but I have little interest in social networking my reading.

There's no way I can pick one favorite book. I'll give you five:

Ubik - Philip K. Dick
Red Harvest - Dashiell Hammett
Ripley's Game - Patricia Highsmith
At the Mountains of Madness - H. P. Lovecraft
Dracula - Bram Stoker

Also, I'm a Sherlock Holmes obsessive, but I can't choose a single book collection, unless someone publishes a "greatest hits" collection with my dozen favorite stories.

Haven't read the book. Saw the movie. It's good, despite Jack Black's successful dedication to being horrible in everything.
