On the go at present:
Practices of Looking: An Introduction to Visual Culture — Marita Sturken & Lisa Cartwright. Potential class text. Really good, but a bit above introductory level for my students I suspect, an excellent teaching resource though.
Stick — Elmore Leonard. Bedtime book, EL never disappoints.
Art Schools in England 1945 to 1970 — Hywel James. A comprehensive and much needed piece of work. Far better than I expected. Frustratingly it largely torpedoes a project I had in mind myself.
Lulu in Hollywood — Louise Brooks. Mentioned in the 'Old Movies' thread, which inspired me to reread it. Every bit as entertaining and informative as it was twenty-odd years ago.
