Books - What are you reading?

Oh, and we're coming close to another of my pet hates, writers who write excessively about writing, other writers, publishers, or life as a professor of literature at small, liberal American arts colleges.

Delillo, Roth etc? Roth i can not abide. I'm likely ignorant but i wouldn't throw Bulgakov into that category.

At the moment I'm in the middle of few things – Mason & Dixon by Pynchon...

Surely reading anything else at the same time as Pynchon is dangerous!
