The Harry Potter books lately--really fun. Also currently reading "One Tough Mother," a quick auto-bio by that old woman who runs Columbia Sportswear.
Bill Murray is my current hero, and below is a quote from "What About Bob?" to illustrate why:
Phil: "I'm leaving a prescription for Prozac."
Bob: "Excuse me, Phil, but with these particular symptoms, is Prozac the right choice?
Lily: "You think Prozac is a mistake?"
Bob: "With this kind of manic episode, I would think that Librium would be a more effective management tool."
Phil: "You could be right--I'll re-write the prescription."
