Too Many Books...?

I'm usually reading a couple books at the same time - one on my nightstand, and maybe something else during lunch at work or in the evening. And then there are the books I pick up for a night and then put down, fully intending to come back sooner or later (sorry Dr. Zhivago and Paradise Lost). But the following are all books I've been consistently dipping into over the last couple weeks, probably as a result of spending too much time at the library and owning a Kindle. I should also mention that a couple of these are stretches. So far, Augustine is very nice bedtime reading (i.e., it only takes a couple of pages before my eyes start to blur). And Paterson is almost totally incomprehensible, but I enjoy reading it out loud to myself on walks. City of God, Augustine The Art of Travel, Alain De Botton The Memory of Blood, Christopher Fowler Wayfaring: Essays Pleasant and Unpleasant, Alan Jacobs The Tough Guide to Fantasyland, Diana Wynne Jones Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading, Eugene Peterson I Shall Wear Midnight, Terry Pratchett (Audio Book) Night Watch, Terry Pratchett Paterson, William Carlos Williams
