[Dog Star (Phil)]

Another forum that I belong to (Hawkwind Forum - for fans of the space rock band, Hawkwind) has a thread of this title running that has now reached 15 pages.
Members post as often as they finish a book (fact or fiction) and start a new one and the posts are banal, surprisingly literate, and straight out bizzare.
Many download an image of the cover.
It's not a thread about your favorite book, nor about a book that you read 6 months ago. It's about the book, or books that you are currently reading.
Reviews or critical evaluations are kept to a potted minimum, and no one criticises another members literary tastes. It's not a discussion of books per se, although a little of that goes on, eg. "wow, man! I've read The Old Man and the Sea and thought it was awesome!"
The result is a refreshing and surprising peek into the various fields that members stray into.
Anyone care to join in?
I'll start the ball rolling by saying that I'm usually reading at least 2 books at once.
Currently - The Backyard Astronomers Guide by Dickinson and Davey
and Enochian Vision Magick by Lon Milo Du Quette.
Would be most interested to read other members responses.
