What book are you reading right now?

[appophylite]

I'm trying really hard, NOT to get attached to reading this, cause I want to wait until I get home and have the physical copy in hand, but:

Pirate Latitudes-Michael Crichton

....even if I cave in and finish reading the e-book before I get home, I'll probably spend the night I get back re-reading it from cover to cover.

The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence

For anyone interested in Darwinian evolution and in general why we are all so unique from one another, Sagan's extrapolations and insights into the development of human intelligence are fascinating.
