This is a list of the books currently in my reading pool. Ah, I should explain first: My reading pool is a stack of books all of which I am in the process of reading, some more or less continuously, others according to my mood. Here it goes:

• Friedrich Nietzsche, "Also sprach Zarathustra" (German, so-called 'critical studies edition')

• Dante, "Inferno", English translation by John Ciardi (almost finished)

• Stephen King, "The Stand" (almost finished)

• Neil Gaiman, "American Gods" (up next)

• Douglas Adams, "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency"

• Joanne K. Rowling "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

• Johannes Lehmann "Buddha - Life, Teachings, Impact" (German)

• John Steinbeck, "The Long Valley"

• Joseph Conrad, "Heart of Darkness"

• Craig Kree Strete, "Burn down the Night" (a curio that is actually out of print, but I found it on the Net as a PDF! It's a story written by a guy who met and befriended Jim Morrison and it describes the crazy things they lived through together)

Also three comics series: "Hellblazer", "Lucifer" and "Legends of the Dark Knight"

Am I crazy or do I just like to read?
