I misread the title of the Drinks! thread, and decided to take it as inspiration.
Currently I'm rereading John Varley's "Titan". I didn't remember how much gratuitous sex it contained. I'm also working on the collected volumes of the comic book "Invincible". And at some point I will likely also start in on Jim Butcher's "Fool Moon".
I'm finally getting around to reading Gödel, Escher, & Bach. It's been sitting on my shelf for ages, taunting me.
Just finished rereading Carol Deppe's Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties: The Gardener's and Farmer's Guide to Plant Breeding and Seed Saving, in preparation for creating my own mutant pea army. With a scalpel.
Decided to go back to some classics. Just finished Neuromancer, and Stranger in a Strange Land before that. Probably done reading for a while, unfortunately - other projects are taking priority right now. 
Wow - haven't read that since college. First read it in high school. Barely remember it…
I read A Cake for Herbie, A Home For Hermit Crab, Goodnight Moon, and Babytown Express (3 times) tonight. I think I might rehash some Fancy Nancy books, or maybe Berenstein Bears tomorrow, but I know I'll be reading Babytown Express and Goodnight Moon, probably multiple times each.
I feel like that about some of the Munchkin's favorites - she turns 4 tomorrow.
For myself, I'm about 80% of the way through The Monkey's Voyage, a nonfiction popular science title. I've got the sixth of the Iron Druid Chronicles checked out for after that, and then I'm going to start working my way through The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings for the first time in several years (with an interruption in May/June for Skin Game), including a promise to myself that it will include reading the appendices for the first time ever.
Rather you than me…
I'm currently very near the start of Iain M. Banks' Consider Phlebas; given Banks' general reputation and having read The Player of Games, I have high hopes.
Ahah, another Culture fan! Sadly Phlebas is the first of the books, and is generally not said to be as good. PoG is almost certainly the best; out of the five I've read, I would recommend Inversions most after PoG (it's only barely a culture book, but the philosophy is woven throughout in a really compelling way), followed by the Hydrogen Sonata, Excession, and Use of Weapons. I have Phlebas but haven't gotten to it yet.
Currently re-reading Harry Potter (for the first time since reading the final book, thus now being able to retrospectively realise all the tiny little hints and stuff that get dropped about various characters and their actions throughout the entire series), just started Half-Blood Prince yesterday. After that I have a random trilogy of books that I picked up at a second-hand shop a week or two ago. After that, erm...not sure. I keep running out of books and I would buy a load more but I keep running out of space in my room as well ;).
Getting a Kindle helped for me. I downloaded hundreds of books I'm not physically attached to and stored the paper versions away, leaving more space for new acquisitions including board games! I'm down to four bookcases which contain everything except recipe books which are in the dining room, and RPG stuff which lives in the two bookcases where most of the boardgames are.
Hehe, I thought someone would mention e-readers at some point. I can see the convenience but I've never been remotely tempted to get one. I prefer actual books, I'm afraid ;).
Me too, absolutely.
But if the choice is don't get any more books, or archive some and have them on the ereader and get more books, I'm going to go with the second option.
I just need to get a house or a flat or something, and then I'll have more space rather than just my bedroom and can get a bunch of bookshelves and stuff ;).
I just Started reading the Innocent Mage by Karen Miller
I have been on a non-fiction kick lately, reading a bunch of political science and geology books. Most recently, I finished Political Institutions under Dictatorship by Jennifer Ghandi and After the Ice Age: The Return of Life to Glaciated North America by E.C. Pielou, and am now working on Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu. They have all been really good so far.
Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu
I've been wanting to read that one.
I read a number of papers by Acemoglu in grad school, and so far it is a more detailed re-framing of stuff he's been working on for over a decade. It is quite good.
Read some excerpts of his in undergrad. Where you econ? I was Polysci, but went for international economic policy as much as I could.
My BA is PolySci, and my MA is in Public Policy and Political Economy. I think that international economic (in particular monetary) policy, and autocratic institutions, are both super fascinating.
I've got Pratchett's new Discworld book coming in tonight, and the library has the entire Sandman series on hold for me. I just finished reading warren Ellis's "Gun Machine", which was quite good if you like detective stories laced with counterculture, weirdness, and a fair bit of violence.
