I'm currently reading Norse Code by Greg van Eekhout. It's not exactly groundbreaking stuff, but I'm enjoying it. :-)
Recently went back to Anne Rice's Vampire chronicles.

An oral history about Hunter S. Thompson.

Considering re-reading "Daemon" by Daniel Suarez.

Also in the mood for a good fantasy, but kinda tired of the books I have.
Tomorrow I am going to reread the odyssey (been a long time since i first read it) and then i am going to read the illiad for the 1st time
I think there is a thread about that somewhere else in the forums.

Anyways, I'm reading "CSS: The Missing Manual" right now.

About 1/3 of the way through it so far and I gotta say it's a pretty good book both for beginners and also for more experienced web developers who just feel there are gaps in their understanding of CSS that need filling.

I just finished reading Jonathan Green's Evolution Expects. It's the first book I've read from his Pax Britannia series, and it's really solid. It's every bit as good as the reviews describe. It's fast, it's action-packed, it's got a pretty good plot, and it does an excellent job at expressing the tension and "holy shit" moments. I love it.

It's also a steampunk story, and the steampunk elements are very well-expressed, very vivid and imaginative. Can't compare this to other steampunk stories, since I don't read them in general (but I want to), but it's really good.
Lord of The Rings! wooooooooooahhhhhhhhhhh!
I'm just about to start reading Dan Abnett's Ghostmaker. Finished reading First and Only (by Dan Abnett too, it's the first book in the Gaunt's Ghosts series) either late last night or early this morning.
The Stand by Stephen King. Good, but ridiculously long.
I finished reading Peter Hamilton's Pandora's Star yesterday. I've got distracted somehow (stupid me) and had to start reading from the beginning but it was totally worth it. Great story with many threads and good characters (Ozzie probably my favourite) makes it a "must read" for every SF fan. I've seen reviews in which people were complaining about too slow pace but to be honest it didn't feel like that to me. I'll probably star reading the continuation, <span class="bold">Judas Unchained</span>. I just couldn't put it aside to read something else. I have the feeling that Peter Hamilton is going to be one of my favourite SF writers.

BTW, this thread looks kinda forgotten by everyone.
I now just started reading The Wise Man's Fear, part two of the Kingkiller Chronicle. The first book was one of the best I read last year, so I hope this one will be as good. Luckily, some friends say it is :)

Have you read his Night's Dawn trilogy (The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist, The Naked God)? If not, do that after you finish Judas Unchained. It is AWESOME! :-D

Edit: Oh yeah, I'm reading The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett at the moment (again).

Not yet, but I'm quite certain I will. :)
I currently hop back and forth between an anthropological essai on comparative cannibalism (George Guille-Escuret, "Les mangeurs d'autres", actually a special publication from a french revue, "l'Homme") and James Kakalios' extremely fun [url=http://physicsofsuperheroes.com/ ]"The physics of superheroes"[/url]. I hate reading superheroes stories, but for some reason I love reading about them.
I'm about halfway through The Hunt for Red October. First Tom Clancy novel I've read, and I'm liking it. There is quite a lot of technical stuff going on, which is fine by me; I liked the way the meltdown thing in particular was handled. This is the kind of stuff that I can read from cover to cover in a day or two on those unfortunate occasions when my PC is broken.

Currently re-reading the entire H.P. Lovecraft works, in chronological order. Just finished "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" and i'm now moving on to my favorite, "The Colour Out of Space".
