The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. So far, 3 books (I think there will be 6 eventually) about a 2000 year old Druid living in Arizona. Good stories, and rather funny.
Rereading The Womens Murder Club series by James Patterson. I'd only gotten as far as 5 before. This time, I'd like to get through all of them.
Rizzoli and Isles books by Tess Gerritsen
The Ultramarine Omnibus by Graham McNeill. Along with assorted other books from Black Library.

The First two Bas-Lag books by China Mieville.
Just finished "A Game Of Thrones". Absolute pish. Will not be acquiring subsequent books.

"You are made of spermacetic ointment and you have whey in your veins instead of blood!"
Direct quote from Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Best insult ever

Reading "The Year Of Rouge Dragons" right now. About 700 pages and I already blew through almost half of it. Just can't put it down. Before that I read "Dead Iron: The Age of Steam". Interesting read, but I got through the whole book in just one sitting.

Just finished the HDM trilogy. It was awesome.
Now reading more Xanth and Age of Misrule/Darkness books while waiting for the waitlist for the new Dresden book to shorten a bit.

Preordered the new Discworld book yesterday. Just a week to go!
Meanwhile, I've started reading Jim Butcher's (he of the Dresden Files) other series, Codex Alera. My interest was first irrecoverably grabbed when they started having mid-air swordfights. Also Romans.

I'm currently reading "The Time Machine", "The Phantom of the Opera", and "Captain Blood" simultaneously. I get bored with one book.

Ravy, that sounds like it would actually make me want to program. And I hated programming.
