How often do you read (books)

Patsfan made a great point in another thread, many people use little summaries or opinions on google as a replacement for reading thoroughly researched books from experts or reputable sources. Wikipedia is a great example. Good for quick information, but not good for comprehensive history or facts.

My grandma used to read every night and when I'd stay at her house over the summer I'd do the same. In high school and college I didn't read anything except textbooks for studying, but after college I got back into the habit of reading every night, even on vacations I take a book and try to get at least 15-20 mins in before bed. I vary my reading material usually something informative follwed by something fun. Sometimes when I get a really good book I'll stay up until 2 or 3am reading and pay the price the next day. Sometimes I'll spend an entire day on the weekend and burn through an entire book.

Do you read and what were the last few books you read? Here is my latest list:

We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda (AMAZING book, depressing, but a must read)

Books? Hell, I don't even like reading long posts.
