I'm currently reading;

The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan.
A Game of Thrones by that fat guy who might die on us like the above author did.
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke.

I tend to read several books at once like a lot of others here. Also, I've recently bought all the other books in the Song of Ice and Fire series, plus hardback copies of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I prefer hardbacks to paperbacks because I tend to treat my books roughly (bending spines a lot), so hardbacks last longer.

Just bought Programming in Objective-C 2.0 and Learning Perl. Once I've finished with Learning Perl I'll probably buy the Camel too.

My most recent purchase was yesterday when I received, from Amazon, China Miéville's "Kraken". I started reading it yesterday too and it's pretty awesome so far.

Just bought Inherent Vice by Pynchon. I tried reading Gravity's Rainbow last year when it was TBB's book of the month but just couldn't get into it. I really want to get into Pynchon though and the reviews from Amazon suggest that Inherent Vice is a lot less cryptic and layered than his other novels, so I'm going to give it a go.
