Currently I am reading (or half reading, sicne I've already read it and keep getting distracted) Elric of Melnibone by Michael Moorcock, and then I'll read Stormbringer I think.

I'm just starting on Flowers For Algernon. Yeah, oddly enough I've never read it before.

From what little I've seen and what I've heard about it, though, it will be a great read.

Elizabeth Haydon's Symphony of Ages, book 4, Requiem for the Sun.  When I find the fifth book, Elegy for a Lost Star, I'll reread that too.

Making myself finish Deathly Hallows, but it's slow going.

@Clarion: You're much stronger than me; I got through the Symphony of Ages trilogy and promptly gave away two of the books. I just couldn't stand the main character.

I read The Deathly Hollows in less than 24 hours and I got it the day it came out.

I don't usually read books that fast.

Currently reading Steven Erikson's series "Malazan Book of the Fallen", I'm on book 3 "Memories of Ice" and I have to say its a refreshing change to standard fantasy series.  The characters have odd names (Twist, Fiddler, Quick Ben, WhiskeyJack etc) but the development of story and character is so intertwined it's pretty damn impressive.

@Cygnea: Which main character?  There's three.  Personally not fond of Rhapsody, but I think Achmed and Grunthor deserve rereading.  Especially Achmed.

When I'm done rereading the Symphony of Ages books, I'll probably reread my R.A. Salvatore books again.  I'm firmly convinced that Salvatore had no editor when writing the Hunter's Blades Trilogy, because the mistakes are abound, but the writing is still fairly entertaining.

Sorry, Clarion, I should have been more specific. I was talking about Rhapsody.

I put up Deathly Hallows and am instead reading Empress Orchid by Anchee Min.

The Zombie Survival Guide - Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks.  (I found it at the local library in the Non-Fiction section. Smiley )

I have discovered that my home is woefully inadequate for defense from the undead!

Not exactly something that just came out, but...  Jeremy Diamond's "Guns, Steel, and Germs" gives interesting insight on world history.

Just finished "House of Chains", Book 4 in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson.

Pretty good.

Now I'm finally moving on to A Feast for Crows by Martin, hopefully it will be good.

The Harry Potter series again, since JK Rowling announced that Dumbledore was gay. I'm going to see just how many obvious hints she managed to squeeze in Tongue

Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein. This one is about govt's pushing hard after collective shocks; nothing better than a regressed population in order for a regime to successfully proclaim they've always been at war with Eurasia is the basic argument of the book. I'm not far into it but so far, anyway, it's been interesting.

I just finished A Dark PLace in the Jungle by Linda Spalding. The book is about a researcher/activist of orangutans named Birute Galdikas who originally was encouraged by Louis Leakey, as were Joane Goodall and Dian Fossey, to study great apes in the wild. Actually, the book is mostly about the author's search for, and eventual disillusionment with, Galdikas than about anything else.
