I use Holladay's concise lexicon almost exclusively for reading.  Among other 
things, it's a lot easier to carry.  It's basically an abridgement of the 
Kohler-Baumgartner lexicon, and it's great for casual reading because it not 
only has more up-to-date glosses, but it lists things like nouns under their 
own headings so you don't have to go on a fishing expedition every time you 
encounter a triliteral root the way you generally have to do with BDB and 
such.
