I’ve just finished reading Diana Gabaldon’s entire Outlander series. I’m pausing to re-read an O’Brian novel (Desolation Island) before I launch into re-reading Dan Simmons’s **Ilium **in preparation for reading his Olympos.
Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches From the Unfinished Civil War (another one by Tony Horwitz)…my favorite part is where he describes his journeys with a hardcore civil war re-enactor.
The Life of Hon. William F. Cody–supposedly by the man himself. I’ve been to several Buffalo Bill sites in my travels, and it’s interesting to get the stories from his perspective.
Okay, I’ll be sure to hold you accountable for it. 
A biography of Mohandas Gandhi written by Yogesh Chadha. Easy to read and very informative.
Currently slowly reading my way through The Neutronium Alchemist. I’m enjoying it immensely, but most of my free time lately has been going to World of Warcraft. Yeah, I suck.
Immediately before that, I read through Bryson’s Brief History of Time and Freakonomics. Both pretty interesting stuff, even if I didn’t necessarily agree with everything.
Next up on my rather enormous queue of things I want to read (and which are, physically, stacked on my nightstand in an Everest-sized pile):
The first volume of the reprinting of Robert E Howard’s Conan stories
History of Hell
Haldeman’s Forever War
The Earthsea Trilogy
Gaiman’s Anansi Boys
Serendipity (the book about accidental science)
Terry Pratchett’s Thud
Demon Haunted World
Dan Simmon’s Olympos
For starters. I keep buying more books and I keep finding stuff to read at a much faster pace than any human being could ever possibly read them. Seriously, I’m going to have to take vacation time or something to get caught up. I really wish people would stop talking about neat books on the SDMB. My reading list would be a lot shorter. 
And by that, I mean “Short History of Nearly Everything”. God, I can never get the title of that book straight…
Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time series)
I’m into Life of Pi right now.
The book I read before that is Gardenias by Faith Sullivan. None of you have probably heard of her, but she’s great. I took a class from her when I was in college and can’t resist an opportunity to give her a plug here. If you do decide to try her books, start with The Cape Ann. Gardenias is a continuation of the story started in The Cape Ann. (It’s not really a series, per se.)
I’m reading Jarhead. I’d like to read it before seeing it.
I just finished a book called Loose Lips about a woman who gets a job at the CIA. It’s a quick, funny, enjoyable read. You can read it in a day.
I’m also plodding through a personal investment book, and my current bathroom book is Chris Ware’s graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan, The Smartest Kid In the World.
Nothing all too thrilling really.
I’m slogging my way through a Turow right now** (Reversible Errors)**. I always wonder why he doesn’t just call it Chicago, and not pretend it’s some fictional city. Bugs the crap out of me really.
On deck I have a Discworld but for the life of me can’t remember which one…I just finished the Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic for about the third time I think.
I have the wife reading The Wild Road right now, which might be a mistake - she’s constantly looking up over the book at me and shaking her head. Once she finishes it, I may take it and The Golden Cat again. If you’re a cat person, you might like these, but you have to be able to free your mind from the “cats as cute furry pals” mode to enjoy them.
The Ancestor’s Tale, By Richard Dawkins. It’s about humanity’s evolution from modern man all the way back to the origins of life. I thought it was going to be very preachy, what with the guy being very vocal about his atheism and all but it’s pretty good, I can barley put it down.
Also: Things Fall Apart, By Chinua Achebe. I had to read this one for a History class but started again, also pretty good, and sad.
I don’t have much time to read anymore (only textbooks) but I decided to get a library card recently (from the town where I go to school) because I am too broke to buy books (my preferred way). I had a short list of things I wanted to read, and I only found one at the library, Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, which is on deck. I also picked up The Nanny Diaries because I was stressed and wanted a quick, fun read. It served its purpose.
Roger MacBride Allens’ “The Shores of Tomorrow”. It’s the third part of the Solace Saga. A small group of people are trying to save humanity’s future in the 54th century.
I’m reading S.M. Stirling’s Draka which somehow escaped my notice when it was first published. Reading about the Draka is somewhat similar to driving past a car accident on the highway. You don’t want to look but you know that you have to. At least this one seems to give me a character I can root for.
I just finished Lian Hearn’s Tales of the Otori trilogy. *The New York Times * named all 3 books as notable books but I’d have to disagree. The writing isn’t bad but the story is trite, boy meets girl-boy loses girl-boy gets girl, using a pseudo-medieval Japan overlaid with a tinge of magic. I wasn’t impressed. YMMV.
I have a bunch of irons in the fire right now; too many.
13 Men by Tiffany Thayer
*Capote *by Gerald Clarke
From Reverence to Rape by Molly Haskell
*Mysteries *by Knute Hamsun
The Habit of Being by Flannery O’Connor
The Lost Steps by Alejo Carpentier
Placing Movies by Jonathan Rosenbaum
History of the Canadian Pacific Railway by W. Kaye Lamb, part of the Railroads of America series.
Following the Daily Lectionary in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, I’m also reading the New Testament book Revelation, a little bit each day.
Oh! And my current bathroom reading material is Dave Barry’s In Cyberspace.
Just started Conjectures and Refutations by Karl Popper. It’s good and accessable if you have a small knowledge of philosophy. It’s less technical and more discursive than Logic of Scientific Discovery.
I’m finishing Seeds of Time by Kay Kenyon. It isn’t very good but it’s easy enough to read that I’ll finish it. I’ll probably start A Million Open Doors by John Barnes next.
I, too, am currently reading The Know It All, by Jacobs. I just got done polishing off an old Zane Grey western (a slight revision of the classic The Lone Star Ranger), and next up is likely to be the new Honor Harrington novel.
I recently pullerd it out and read through it at bedtime. My god, it’s less tha ten years old and it seems ancient. “Alt Tab switching”, “ABORT, RETRY, FAIL”, dial-up internet speeds. My daughter, if she ever reads this, will need a translator.
