Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. I read the New Yorker a lot though, that more than anything.

[QUOTE="bronxxbombers"]A Prayer For Owen Meany. :(nadrojneerg
:( Remains my favorite by John Irving. Currently reading the Illuminatus! Trilogy, the Preacher trade paperbacks, and The Time Traveler's Wife.

I agree definitley irvings best. I actually just finished re-reading the hotel new hampshire. And the illumanatus trilogy is amazing. As for me I am reading pinochio.

A Game of Thrones, the first in the A Song of Fire and Ice series by George R. R. Martin. I've been meaning to read it for at least 2 years now and finally have set out time to get through it.

Still reading all the same stuff (Mahabharata, Upanishads, Hindu Myths), I also started Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

WIN! I've only read the Bhagavad Gita, but it blew my mind! Right now I'm reading some book on the theology of Paul Tillich, a little pedantic but interesting at times, and a Pournelle-Niven sci-fi, since they always deliver.

[QUOTE="Toriko42"]Pride and Prejudice, boring :(JustPlainLucas
There's a Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but it's not as exciting as you'd think. It needed more zombies.

I've also seen a Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters or something like that. :P

[QUOTE="thequietguy"][QUOTE="Juice_13"]

I just finished Speaker for the Dead recently (sequal to Ender's Game). Right now I am debating about reading Xenocide (3rd book in the Ender series) or 1984. Still not sure which I will read next.

I read the Ender's series. Still think Ender's Game is by far the best. 1984 was good, you should read that. I need to start reading again, lol.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Though sometimes Speaker for the Dead asked for a little bit too much suspension of disbelief, I thought it had more interesting characters overall.

I'm just starting The Divine Comedy. After that, I plan to read The Count of Monte Cristo.

From there I'll either read some books by R.A. Salvatore, Dragonlance, or The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes.

Oh, it's too late for that. Now if you would be so kind to excuse me, I believe I have a crossword puzzle that is in dire need of completion.

I read Fast Food Nation. Didn't like it. :(

I don't generally read, actually. It's not laziness or stupidity ... but I've got my reasons.

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Murakami. It's my 2nd time reading it, but I don't really like it that much. It's the only book I have though to keep me occupied at work for now.

Don't read Purgatory and Paradise, you might actually die of boredom.

Since I'm American I don't read, sometimes I'll listen to some nice voice read a book for me, since it takes too much work to turn pages.
