 Surely something dumber has come up since my apparent forgetfulness for STDs and doctor visits.

I've been busy as all fucking hell lately, and I'm finally circling back around into a reading mood (maybe I'll finish Atlas Shrugged now), so I decided to hit a few thrift stores today and see what they would net. Below is my thrift prize of the day:
The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
Price: $2.72 or so after tax. It's in decent shape as far as the cover goes, but the engravings are still in fantastic condition. Really, I stole this book at that price, as well as the Calculus book I picked up for $4 and change (which lists at around $140 on Amazon). If nothing else I'll haul it down to one of the college bookstores and sell it to them or something.
As of late I've squeaked my way through Skin City by Jack Sheehan, which is pretty much about nothing but Vegas and the prostitution world that encompasses it, as well as some information about the porn industry. It's merely bathroom reading material, as well as the book I'm halfway through right now.
The I Chong: Reflections From The Joint, by Tommy Chong, reads like a stoner talks. One page will be talking about his getting busted for selling waterpipes across state lines, then it will immediately switch to something totally off topic and stay there for about two pages, followed by some odd revelation (such as salsa dancing as an alternative to drug use). It's interesting, to say the least, but even when I'm stoned I can't put more than a chapter away at a time. Once again, bathroom reading material at its' finest.
So, what the hell are you all reading?
