A frequent question among friends and among writers in particular is, What are you reading? RedRoom asks the question of its members with the results popping up in the far right column of each author's page. To my mind, it's the best question to ask a writer because it goes straight to what is interesting him or her at the present moment. I'm less inclined to ask a person about a favorite book or books as this has always struck me as akin to asking a person to name the best experience of their life (was it that week in Istanbul or sex in your neighbor's pool?)
