Working my way through A Prayer for Owen Meany - John Irving. It’s worth finishing, but probably not a novel I’ll re-read. The back & forth timeline is sometimes difficult to keep track of and the foreshadowing (altho the point of the whole book) is a bit depressing. Maybe I’ll just go watch the movie 
Also reading Software - Rudy Rucker. Haven’t quite made up my mind as to whether I like it or not. Some interesting ideas, but a bit too cyberpunk for my usual tastes.
Ender’s Shadow - Orson Scott Card
and
Burning Chrome - William Gibson
The Count of Monte Christo. I had a lovely old fashioned edition from about 60-70 years ago, got to the end of it and realised that it was only volume one. :eek: I was most upset. Consequently I have downloaded a copy off project Gutenberg (fully legal of course - the copyright has lapsed, it being not that recent a book) and am reading that until I can buy myself a more complete copy.
Sorry if I missed out on some of the thread— just too slow!
I finished Deep In A Dream The Long Night Of Chet Baker and I sped through it! (416 pp) He was really an interesting character. The book’s full of the “rock and roll lifestyle” of a Jazz musician… I recommend it!
Anyway, I’m finishing Them by Joyce Carol Oates, apparently it’s the true story of one of her students and that poor kid had a helluva life. A lot of desperation in this book and it’s taken forever to get through it. But if you’re from Detroit (I am not) it may prove more palatable.
Of note from a previous entry:
There will be a movie about Seabiscuit… it’s filming at Keeneland in Lexington, KY very soon.
Also, I recommend for the Dorothy Sayers readers a biography called Maker and Craftsman: The Story of Dorothy Sayers… my auntie wrote it. 
In that case, consider the Skylark Series, by E.E. (Doc) Smith. Also consider The Lensman Series, also by Smith. Both of these series have been ripped off in Sci-Fi SOOO much it’s not even funny. It’s also interesting to read a non-politically correct space opera.
Enjoy,
Steven
Corelli’s Mandolin, by Louis De Bernières; my sister gave it to me this weekend, so I’ve only just begun. Il Duce meets the Greeks - well, so far he’s just talking it over with me. Starts well.
The Nanny Diaries
I’ve got about 3 going right now.
The History of the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire (non-fiction)
American Psycho - My 5th time through this one (fiction)
The Spanish Inquisition - (non-fiction)
And I always keep a copy of The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers around, because it makes for a good few minute read if you want to kill some time.
I’m reading a bio on Isak Dinesen by Judith Thurman. I can’t put it down. I’m also reading Wings of the Dove by Henry James. Not enjoying it too much, but I’m only a quarter into it. Hoping it will get better!
I didn’t realise how old this thread was till I found my post on the first page and saw that I was reading The Fall of Hyperion, which I actually finished about a year ago. I’d better update my list a little:
I’m currently working on The Golden Compass. I’m around page two hundred, and so far I’m quite impressed. There’s tons of imagination here, and nice, succinct writing, although we really don’t get to see much of any character besides Lyra.
I’m also reading When Time Shall be no More, by Paul Boyer.
Tulipomania by Mike Dash and Paradise & Power by Robert Kagan. I’d recommend them both.
Right now, I’m reading The Lord of the Rings 
Vermilion Gate by Aiping Mu
On the bus to work I’m reading Thomas Hine’s The Total Package: The Secret History and Hidden Meanings of Boxes, Bottles, Cans and Other Persuasive Containers.
At home I’m reading Antony Beevor’s excellent Berlin - The Downfall 1945.
The Fisherman’s Ocean, a great book on basic Oceanography, Ichthyology, and how these apply to Fishing. It’s written by Dr. David Ross, an Oceanographer at Wood’s Hole.
Think of it as a Nerd’s Guide to Fishing.
Orion – The True Story of the Atomic Spaceship by Freeman Dyson’s son (!!) Great book so far. This is one of those things I’ve wanted to know more about for years, but only got brief mentions of (even on the SDMB).
Currently on H.G. Wells again, Tono-Bungay.
Just finishing up Replay by Ken Grimwood which I recommend. Thanks for the tip, brianmelendez, it was a great book.
These next two are non-fiction that I’ve just begun reading. Although they are interesting so far, it’s too soon for a recommendation:
A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson
Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by Joseph J. Ellis
I’m finishing up Slaughterhouse-Five, and I’m about to start One Hundred Years of Solitude. I’m also trying to finish Mrs. Dalloway.
I’m not going to check and see if I posted to this a long time ago. Currently, I’m reading or rereading:
All of the Little Women series (fiction, rereading).
After Virtue, Alasdair MacInctyre (nonfiction).
Phantastes, George MacDonald (fiction).
