As with my research agenda, I like to juggle a number of genres and topics at a time when it comes to reading. As part of my morning routine I typically read theology or religious writing of some sort. In the evening I try to end the day with a some fiction. Some poetry, as well as magazine (real, paper copies, not digital) reading (The New Yorker, National Geographic, Sojourners, Hedgehog Review, etc.)  is usually scattered throughout the day. There's also usually something I read on the iPad while on some sort of exercise machine. Of course, there's usually some professional reading that has to be wedged into the day or that goes along with teaching or current research projects.

Reinhold Niebuhr and John Dewey: An American Odyssey, Daniel Rice

The Greatest Generation, Tom Brokaw

The Best American Poetry 2002, Robert Creeley (Ed.)

On the iPad - Remembrance of Things Past, Marcel Proust (another classic I never read -- all 3949 pages of it!)

My favorite recent reads: Ethan Frome; Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking, Susan Cain; Bright-sided: How Positive Thinking is Undermining America by Barbara Ehrenreich; The Trouble with Poetry, a collection of poetry by Billy Collins; Given Poems by Wendell Berry
