I love reading, I’m just not very diligent about it. I go through phases where I will knock out 3 books in 2 weeks, but then I wont read at all for like a year. I don’t know why that is, but sometimes there is nothing in this world that can make me focus long enough on a book. Ive been reading 4 books for the better part of a year now and I just can’t seem to make myself finish them.
It’s not even that they are bad books— In fact, they are all really good books. I just don’t have a ton of time to read. And when I do have free time, I find myself more inclined to just watch a movie or something. So I can totally appreciate anyone who most definitely has a busier life style than me finding time to expand their mind via reading. Check out what these 8 celebrities are reading in the gallery.

What Ive been reading:
- The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach
- The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan
- Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov— I am actually re-reading this because it is one of my favorites
- The Portable Dorothy Parker Poems, short stories and letters by Dorothy Parker— Also a re-read, but I keep it around because it can be a good quick read

I’m currently reading a Swedish book. I don’t know if it’s available in English but it’s called something like “The old man who climbed out his window and disappeared”. It’s an interesting read and completely different from anything I’ve read before.
That picture of Emma Watson is since last summer though. It’s from the set of “The perks of being a wallflower” I think. She’s in Iceland now filming the movie about Noah’s ark and her hair is much longer.
