People sometimes ask me what I read “for fun.” I never know how to answer them. I read for my lit classes, obviously, which is “for work,” but it is also fun. I read Gene Wolfe’s The Fifth Head of Cerberus for a class last year. That was fun. But, of course, that’s not what people want to know when they ask this question. They want to know what I read not for class, that is just for fun.
