I am reading through the Gospel of Luke for the third time this Fall in preparation to write my thesis this Spring. I have found the UBS Greek New Testament Reader's Edition a very helpful resource. It beats lugging around my laptop or Zerwick's grammatical analysis. I was using Goodrich & Lukaszewski's very popular "A Reader's Greek New Testament," however, the font is a funky italicized greek and the text is based on their own arbitrary text-critical reconstruction. The UBS reader is based on Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece and the font is great. Furthermore, the UBS translates idioms, while Goodrich & Lukaszewski provide a literal translation in the vocabulary apparatus.
I've been thinking about
I've been thinking about grabbing a reader's Greek NT. Maybe I'll have to request this one for a review on my blog.
By the way, looks like you figured out the anonymous comment thing! Much better.

Hurrah! for the UBS text.
Hurrah! for the UBS text. I've abused my, dragging it in between church and school, about as much or more than my EV bible. It's quite readable and has the handy-dandy glossary in the back (non-Reader's edition, at least) for those of us who don't want to injure our backs by hauling around BDAG everywhere we go.
