Though I've read them all before, and you can probably tell by my sig, I'm re-reading the Wheel of Time Series to prep for release of the last book. On book 3, The Dragon Reborn right now. Just got my girlfriend to start the series so I'm pumped!
I would like to read The Hunger Games eventually.
Hey, long time no see CD!
You should definitely read Hunger Games. It's really good. Well, the first two books are, at least.

The first two books in the Hunger Games are definitely the best.
I'm currently reading a Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. I read it a few years back and saw the movie, but I ended up craving to read it again after reading All Quiet on the Western Front again a few weeks ago, so I picked it up again and I am very glad that I did!
Are there any books out there that reminds you of Final Fantasy VII or VIII?
Finally been making time to read more Lovecraft.
While 'The Tomb' Remains my favorite, these last few have been getting close.
First off you have 'The White Ship'. Probably the only real Ironic story I've read yet from Lovecraft, it does a spectacular job building up this sense of coming dread.
The Doom of Saranth (Probably spelled that wrong) was another one that did a great job building up a sense of coming doom, but also had some very well written bits describing the strange creatures they encountered.
But then there was the Tree. This one is just odd. I didn't really feel like it had accomplished anything by the stories end, but the scenes were amazing and as usual the story had a certain atmosphere to it.
Soon I'm on to read the Cats of Ulthar.
I'm reading "The Guns of August" which is about World War I, and it's pretty great so far.
Black Spring by Henry Miller - a bunch of short stories. Though I'd prefer to be reading Tropic of Cancer.
My sister got the first part of The Hunger Games, so i started reading to too ^^
I'm about to re-read His Dark Materials trilogy.

Bloody fantastic books they are.
What am I reading now? This.
Recently finished Deerskin and The Blue Sword, both by Robin Mckinley and Paris Wife by Paula McLain. I reall enjoyed Deerskin even though parts of it were hard to read since it deals with rather traumatic events. But ere were parts of the book that just delighted me. Blue Sword was great for the first part, very Dune-esque but with a female lead which I loved. I'm glad I discovered Robin McKinley, the feminist in me absolutely adores her.
In the middle of re-reading Lord of the Rings for the nth time, and halfway through Stephen King's 11.22.63.
I got insanely frustrated with 11.22.63 in the beginning because it was pretty much breaking EVERY SINGLE RULE of time travel, but I glimpsed some spoilers and it looks like the logic in the book isn't as completely screwed up as initially presented. And so far the plot is engaging, so I'm sticking with it. It'd a ginormous book.

yeah so that sentence hit all my buttons, will look into it
The last couple of books I've read recently (in the last couple of weeks actually) were "Lunar Park" by Bret Easton Ellis, which is a really good postmodern gothic novel. It's my first Ellis book and now I'll have to check more of his out. Then I read "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" by Mohsin Hamid. Also a rather interesting book - it deals a whole lot with prejudice in the present world very preoccupied with terrorism. It's pretty thought provoking and very ambiguous. Then I just finished reading "Oryx and Crake" by Margaret Atwood for the second time yesterday. This book has got to be one of my favourites. It's a very good contemporary biopunk/frankensteinean science fiction novel with so many things going for it.
And, today I started reading "Into The Wild" by John Krakauer. So far it's rather good and a different kind of road novel, I suppose.
