What am I reading?
Am currently reading Leaving Microsoft to Change the World by John Wood.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leaving-Microsoft-Change-World-Entrepreneurs/dp/0007237030/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249502993&sr=8-1
Not sure if it is any good as just started, but the Amazon reviews are positive.
I tend to read fiction, and if you also enjoy reading about the real world, a recently read book that I can highly recommend is Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert.

It does provide some insight into how to be happier, however the real interest (for me) was gaining an understanding into how we think (mainly in a flawed way), with many interesting research cases used as examples. Fascinating stuff!

What I'm Reading
I'm currently reading In the Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami (not to be mistaken for Haruki Murakami).
For anyone with an interest in the Far East (I'm looking at you Justin), this book promises to be an eye-opener as to the darker side of Tokyo and Japanese culture. I've just started reading it, but I'll let you know how it goes.
I can also highly recommend The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by the late Steig Larsson, which I read on my recent holiday. The first book in Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, I found Dragon Tattoo slow going at first, but if you stick with it, the book becomes 'unputdownable' as the plot thickens and the characters grow. I'm looking forward to the next installment - The Girl who Played with Fire.
