Same here - including the fact that I skipped the DT story.
I’m also working my way through C S Forester’s Hornblower series; nearly finished with Ship of the Line.
I just finished Lisa Scottoline’s The Vendetta Defense.
Murder in Baker Street - original Sherlock Holmes stories by various crime fiction authors.
“Hate”, a biography on the founder of the American Nazi Party George Lincoln Rockwell. Got it for $5 at Halfpriced Books.
I’m almost at the end of The Fall of Hyperion. It’s readable, though like most SF sequels, it’s a bit of a let down compared to the original. I’m also about half-way through The Once and Future King. The first two sections were very clever and well-written. In my British lit class, we just started Pride and Prejudice.
“Gospel” by William Barnhardt
The footnotes will educate you.
The next one I read will be Girl With A Pearl Earring, thanks to a very nice person on this board.
Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame? Baseball, Cooperstown, and the Politics of Glory by Bill James.
All baseball fans should read this. The weird thing is that I could see myself bringing my friends into the hall of fame once I assumed a powerful enough role to do so, even if I knew it was wrong. human nature, I guess.
“Cosmos” by the late great Carl Sagan. A book so good I often wish I has an audience to read it aloud to…
Non-Fiction, Science/Astronomy
About 10 beans CDN for the softcover “novel” size.
“The Catcher in the Rye” for the first time.
I am enjoying it immensely.
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Coller ( just started it today).
I’m about half-way through The Days of Henry Thoreau by Walter Harding.
I’ll get to some more intense reading once school lets out for the summer.
Unlocking the Powers of Faith, by Garth Allred.
My Name is Asher Lev, by Chaim Potok.
The Life of Christ, by Frederic Farrar
A Severed Head - Iris Murdoch
Dipping into a few Oscar Wilde plays.
Re-living my school years with Peter Trudgill and Sociolinguistics.
Enjoying myself with Jilly Cooper and Riders.
I’m about finished with re-reading The Call of Earth by Orson Scott Card. When I’m done, I’ll take a break from this series and get to reading the two books that I purchased today, The Battle for God by Karen Armstrong and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon.
I’m pulling some of the old classics out of the library for the daily train ride to work, so I’m re-reading Asimov’s Robots series, and then I’ll be moving on to the Foundation series.
Is planning your book reading in advance too geeky?
Just finished reading The Prestige, by Christopher Priest. Very interesting account of two turn-of-the-century (err, nineteenth-twentieth) stage magicians. Very interesting stuff, although I realized this afternoon that there was a big fat lack of explanation of one of the book’s mysterious plot threads. That may have been deliberate, but it still chafes.
Dunno what I’ll read next.

Just finished “The Plague and I” by Betty Macdonald, about her year in a sanatarium for TB.
I’m writing a review of Michael Connolly’s “City of Bones,” which was decent, but not as emotionally hard-hitting as some other cop novels I’ve read (like those by Ian Rankin).
Currently, I just started on “Under the Black Flag: The Romance and Reality of Life Among the Pirates,” which was recommended by Common Reader.
And, of course, working through Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series.
The Law of Similars by Chris Bohjalian.
Selected Poems of Robert Frost
Waiting in the wings is a Margaret Atwood, but it’s on the nighttable and I cannot remember the title.
Planning the reading in advance is NOT geeky, it speaks of such adoration for the written word that you just cannot imagine being without a book at all times.
I do it sometimes. Or, I’ll go into a used bookstore and just GO for it.
Cartooniverse
I just finished reading the Roth trilogy - The Four last Things, The Judgement of Strangers, and The Office of the Dead - by Andrew Taylor (hint, If you are going to read this series, read the books in reverse order), and George Orwell’s 1984.
Currently reading Trinity by Leon Uris.
Is the Bohjalian one good? What’s it about? (don’t say it’s about 300 pages 
)
I read Midwives, which was really good, and Trans-Sister Radio, which was kinda weird. I’m guessing this is a new one? I didn’t realize he had a new one out.
I just bought The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood, but haven’t started it yet. I loved The Handmaid’s Tale.
There’s this problem with my To-Read pile…it never gets any smaller. 
A big book buying trip three days ago and I’ve just started another one of the books I bought: Alternate Gettysburgs, a collection of stories and essays on alternate history possibilities concerning the battle of Stalingrad.
Made you look.
