current reading

What you're reading

Current reading refers to whatever book or text someone is presently working through: My current reading is a biography of Frederick Douglass.

The phrase implies an ongoing process—you haven't finished yet.

It can also mean the value shown on a meter or gauge at this moment: The current reading on the thermostat is 72 degrees.
