NIGHT-TABLE READING

Who reads what between the sheets

AMANDA PLUMMER (actress): Mitsou and Music-Hall Sidelights, by Colette (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). "Her writing is sexy, very simple, very feminine, and very succulent. She paints a beautiful picture of her people and then they talk."

ROBERT MOTHERWELL (painter): The Nightmare of Reason: A Life of Franz Kafka, by Ernst Pawel (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). "A complete and profound biograpny. Pawel has absolutely gotten inside Kafka's mind."

BOBBIE ANN MASON (writer): The Education of Koko, by Francine Patterson (Holt, Rinehart and Winston). "Two of my favorite subjects: rock V roll and animals."

ART GARFUNKEL (singer and actor): Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior, by Judith Martin (Warner). "One can't get to the substance of things without dealing with the surface of things."
