The Creator of HBO's ‘Girls' Shares Her Reading Habits

Lena Dunham Shares Her Favorite Books

What book is on your night stand now?

Right now I'm looking right at Mary Gaitskill's "Bad Behavior"; the new Diane Keaton autobiography; "Having It All," by Helen Gurley Brown (research); and "The Consolations of Philosophy," by Alain de Botton - all in various states of having-been-read-ed-ness.

When and where do you like to read?

On the big couch by sunlight in the afternoon when I should be working. While I get my hair and makeup done on set. In bed. Always in bed.
