13 Possible Responses to the Question “What are You Reading?”

I read quite a bit, probably close to 130 books per year.  My friends often inquire as to my current reading material, but my answers sometimes seem to bore them.  So, I created a handful of silly answers I could use in a pinch. 

What are you reading, Dave?
