Earlier today, I bought Chuck Palahniuk's latest novel, "Rant," although I'm already finished with it. Tomorrow, I'll either re-read "Rant" or finish "Ulysses" by James Joyce; it depends on whether or not I'm up to digesting any new material.
Also: not currently reading it but have many times:
THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME
by Mark Haddon
It's a short, fictional novel written in the first person by a boy with autism as he perceives the events going on around him. I would recommend to anyone here. Easy to read and very good.
I'm reading 'Fate, Love and Ecstasy' by John A Sandford ~ archetypes in Greek mythology
And 'Ka' by Roberto Calasso ~ Hindu mythology told as stories involving the gods. I've been reading this for ages but it's so beautifully written, I don't want to finish it.

The 2007 edition of the Statistical History of the AFL (Australian Football League) - over 700 pages of stats - I read a little each night before I go to sleep ! !

"The Fifth Miracle" (The Search for the Origin of Life) by Paul Davies. Somewhat of a slow start - I've 1/3 through and I'm still not quite sure where he's coming from / going to.

Fat Kid Rules the World. It's about a loner who basically becomes an awesome drummer in a punk band. It caught my interest because I like to listen to punk.
