Well, I read quite a few in any one day, so I've got bookmarks in these 3 currently:

"The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy" by Wm. Strauss and Neil Howe

"Designing and Building a Deck" by L. Donald Meyers

"Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller

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.

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.

It's every single time.

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.
