Do you ever find yourself unable to give an answer...?

... when someone asks you what you are currently reading?

Very often, I dont' know the name of the author (unless it's someone that I truly like a lot), and sometimes I can't even recall the name of the book off the top of my head.

It's silly, I know, but I've been like that since I was very young.

    People usually ask me that when they catch me actually reading a book. I usually answer "a book." It's rude, but serves to end further questions. People should know better than to drag back to this world a person happily lost in a story.

    Oh I usually know it. Because when I am recommended a book, I have to find how it is called in English [I am Lithuanian], then I look for the reviews and decide whether I would like it, then only then find it in library/buy it, so after all this work the names of the book and the authors are usually stuck in my head.

    Nah, I just end up giving too long of an answer, because I'm usually reading 3-5 things at once. And I like to describe whatever I'm reading or my opinion of it so far... I tend to get on tangents when I talk/type. =)

    I usually get up and get the book - then answer the question!
