A Game of Thrones By George R.R. Martin, The Conan graphic novels by Kurt Busiek and Cary Nord, then Tales of the White Wolf, and then The Golden Compass (since I've heard good things and the movie seems pretty swanky).

Crime and Punishment, truthfully i am in love with the prose, but the story is just way too bland for my liking.
>>13
I concur with >>18, Freakonomics is an outstanding book, a must read in my opinion!
I am currently reading the Malazan Book of the Fallen Series by Steven Erikson. Only on the second book, but almost finished with it, and am really enjoying the first two so far, hopefully the trend continues, as I have come to realize most authors seem to fall off with their third or fourth book in long series such as this.
And... Harry Potter. I read the first six. Might as well see it through.

I actually just finished that this morning. It was a very good book, to say the least.
I have now started on reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged for the first time. Hopefully it is as good as everybody says that it is.

Death Masks, by Jim Butcher. I listened to the first four on audio, but since there isn't one for book 5, I've gone and bought myself a physical version.
Finishing up "A March Into Darkness", then I have to wait until I'm done moving to break into my 10 or so boxes of unreads. Waiting on "Meeting At Corvallis", "Dark Knight Returns", and the collected works of Lord Byron

My bad habit of reading too many books at the same time never fails:
"Lolita" - Vladimir Nabokov
"The Society of Others" - William Nicholson
"War" - Knut Nærum
"The Man Who Loved Yngve" - Tore Renberg (those two are norwegian..)
"Notes from a small island" - Bill Bryson
..and "The strange case of dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" - Robert Louis Stevenson

Dianetics.
I've hated Scientology for a while now, and now I have a reason.
What a painful book,
"Chapter 1, Something is wrong with you, and Dianetics can help."
"Chapter 2, Something is wrong with you, and Dianetics is the only thing that can help."
"Chapter 3, Dianetics will fix you."
"Chapter 4, L. Ron Hubbard Was Great!"
Etc. Etc. I've never read a book that talks about itself in such a way in my life. All this book says is how great it is, and how you should run out and get audited.

Is Locke Lamora any good?
I'm finishing 2nd book of the blade itself/before they were hanged and its pretty awesome, dark and hilarious at the same time (reminded me of bugg/tehol parts of malazan books)
Before that Peter Hamilton the dreaming void, but you got to read the 1st 2 books in the series first.

Locke Lamora is a lot like Ice and Fire, but not quite as interesting. Its no where near as complex, but the writing is very good and very imaginitive, and theres a lot of original stuff. The setting feels like the Imperial City of Cyrodill in Elder Scrolls IV to me. Its like if GRRM had scripted Oblivion. I dunno, I'm 250 pages in, and it's pretty good. Not my favorite, but it's certainly a big change from the Wheel of Time.
